11-A project consists of 8 activities. The activity completion times and the
precedence relationships are as follows:

Activity Completion time Immediate predecessor

(days) activities
A 5 -
B 7 -
C 6 -
D 3 A
E 4 B,C
F 2 C
G 6 A,D
H 5 E,F

• Draw the network diagram.

• Calculate the minimum overall project completion time and identify
which activities are critical.
• If activity E is delayed by 3 days how is the project completion time
affected?
• If activity F is delayed by 3 days how is the project completion time
affected?

12-A project consists of 8 activities named A to H. Construct a network so as to

satisfy the scheduling requirements shown in the table below.

-Find the least time required to complete the whole project and identify the
critical activities .How is the project completion time affected if:

• activity F is delayed by 3 days

• activity E is delayed by 7 days

13-The table below defines the activities within a small project.

- Draw the network diagram.

- Calculate the minimum overall project completion time and identify
which activities are critical.
- What is the slack (float) time associated with each of the non-critical
activities.

14- The table below defines the activities within a small project:

Activity Description Required Predecessor Duration

A Product design (None) 5 months
B Market research (None) 1
C Production analysis A 2
D Product model A 3
