Project Duration, Highlight the Critical Path on the network, Calculate the Total Float for All
activities, and Draw Bar based on early times:
 Question 4

What is the Project duration (PDmin) for the next project by using Precedence Diagramming Method
(PDM)? Given that the Contract Duration (PDmax) = 45 days, highlight and write the critical path.

Critical Path Method (CPM)
Activity – On – Node (AON) with relationships
Question 1

The following table represents the activities required for a small project. The Contract calls for
completing the project within 40 days. Using Activity - On - Node (AON) method, calculate the
following:

a) ES, EF, LS, LF for all activities and Project Duration

b) TF and FF for activities A, C, H, I

c) Clarify the critical path on the network

d) Draw the Bar (GANTT) chart

For the project shown in the following table, you are required to:
1. Complete the missing data in the table
2. Draw the activity-on-node (AON) network if all Relations between activities are
FS=0. clarify the longest path on the network
 Assignment # 4
Project Calendar
Question 1

A security room project contains the following activities:

Given that the project starts on Monday, 1- 1 - 2018, the contractor considers Friday and Saturday as
weekends, and the period from 8 to 10 January 2018 is non- working period. It is required to:
1. Calculate the CPM days and clarify the critical path on the network.
2. Calculate the project duration due to an increase of 3 days in the duration of activity B
3. Calculate the activity dates considering the given calendar and draw the bar chart using Calendar
days.
 Question 2

The following tables illustrate the data for the CPM diagram for a project. The project
start date is thursday1st March 2018; Workdays per week equal six, and the week start
on Saturday. It is required to find activity dates (ES, EF, LS, and LF)
 Assignment # 5
Critical Path Method (CPM)

following data:
 Question 2

Draw the following network using AOA with the following data and Calculate the
Project duration:
 Question 3

Using Arrow - Diagramming Method (ADM), draw the activity network of the
project shown in table and calculate the following:
1. The project early finish.
2. Show the longest path(S) on the network
3. CPM days of activities
4. Draw Bar chart based on late times
5. Total Float and Free float for non-critical activities
 Assignment # 6
