PERT Problem1

The document contains 4 examples of project management problems involving network diagrams, critical paths, float/slack times, and probability calculations for project completion times. The examples include calculating critical paths and float, finding probabilities of completing projects by certain dates based on optimistic, pessimistic and most likely activity times, and determining completion times with certain probabilities.

Project Management

1. A project is summarized below with duration and predecessor.

Duration Immediate
Activity
(weeks) Predecessor
A 5
B 4
C 4 B
D 8 A, C
E 2 B
F 5
G 4 E, F
H 4 D, G
I 2 H

1. Draw a network diagram of the project. Find the critical path and duration of the project
2. Calculate float/slack time of the non-critical activities

2. The network diagram and estimated activity time (days) of a project are given below.

Activity a b m Predecessor
A 9 9 9

B 5 11 8 A
C 1 5 3 A
D 2 4 3 B
E 3.5 8.5 4.5 B
F 3.5 8.5 6 C

G 3 9 4.5 E, F

H 2 4 3 E, F

I 3 5 4 D, G

J 5 7 6 H, I

Find
(a) The probability of completion in 30 days.
(b) The minimum number of days needs to assure 100% completion.
(c) The probability to completion the activities A, C & F in 22 days.
3. . The estimated activity and time of a project are given below.

Activity a b m Predecessor(s)

A 8 12 10
B 5 11 6.5
C 2 6 5.5 A
D 3 11 7 A
E 6.5 15.5 8 B
F 2 4 3 C
G 3 9 4.5 E, D

Find:
(a) The probability that the project can be completed in 20 days.
(b) The completion time with a 95% chance of completion.
(c) If pessimistic time prevails during completion of activities D and G, optimistic
time prevails in activity B and most-likely time for other activities then, what
would be the project time and critical path.

4.Activities and duration of a project are given below.

Duration (Week)
Activity Predecessor(s) Optimistic Pessimistic Most likely
(a) (b) (m)
A 7 11 9
B A 5 11 8
C A 1 5 3
D B 2 4 3
E B 5.5 8.5 4
F C 3.5 8.5 6
G D, E, F 3 9 4.5
H E, F 2 4 3

expected time as duration.
(b) Find the probability to complete the project in 23 days.
