Sr. # Questions Marks CLO


1. Apply the following given information and create an AON network activity diagram. 7
Calculate each activity TE (rounding to the nearest integer); the project's total duration;
its early start, early finish, late start, and late finish times; and the slack for each activity.
Finally, show the project’s critical path.

2. Consider the partial resource-loading chart shown below. Suppose that you can commit
a maximum of 8 resource hours per day;
a. Choose the dates on which project resources are overallocated? 2
b. How should the resource-loading table be manipulated to correct for this 3
overallocation?
c. Now suppose that the maximum number of resource hours per day you can commit
is reduced to six. How would you reconfigure and construct the resource-loading 5
table to adjust for this number? What would be the new project completion date?
