 NETWORK CRASHING
1. Larson & Toubro Ltd is planning to execute a project.
Project Manager identified no. of activities involved in the
project also he has calculated normal and crash cost for
each of the activity. Project Manager wishes to complete
the project as early as possible with available resources.
Overhead cost of the project is Rs. 3000 per day.
Calculate optimum time and optimum cost within which
project can be completed.
