Crash time 4 means 8 weeks of work can be shrunk to 4 weeks

1 The AOA network is created from the above table. Fill in the blanks and identify the critical path. (10)
(Yellow for Early occurrence, green for late occurrence)
Critical Path = 1-2-4-6-7 Project Duration = 30 weeks
2 From the given diagram, complete the table for Q2. (10)

3 Answer the following:

i What is the first job to crash?(5)
Ans 2-4 will be crashed first as it has minimum cost slope. It has the clashing potential of 3 weeks and the
500 which is minimum of all the cost slopes
ii Identify the new critical path if the activity in i is crashed completely. Write the path in the form 1-2-
Ans After crashing activity 2-4 by 1 week there are two critical paths in the network diagram now. The ol
critical path is=
1-2-5-6-7
And the new project duration is = 29 weeks
iii. What is the new total cost after part i and ii? (5)
Ans New total cost of project = 45200 + 1

iv. If the project duration is needed to be reduced by 6 weeks, mention all the steps needed to be taken
Your answer must include the acitivities crashed, duration of crashing and new critical paths that are
Ans. Activity crashed Time crashed
2-4 1 week
2-4 and 5-6 2 weeks
1-2 1 week
1-2 and 3-5 2 weeks

New project duration = 24 weeks

New project cost = Rs 52250
