Assessment Task No. 5

The document provides information about a project management example involving a PERT-CPM network diagram. It includes a list of activities with predecessors and durations. It then asks to draw the network diagram, and calculate the early start, late start, early finish and late finish times for each activity. It also asks to determine the critical path and expected completion time of the project. A second example is then provided about determining the time frame to specify in a bid to have a 90% chance of completing a project without penalty.

ASSESSMENT NO. 5
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: PERT-CPM

1. A list of activities, precedence relations, and activity times for a project are given
below:

Activity Name Predecessor Duration


A - 5
B A 4
C B 2
D A,C 6
E D 8
F E 5
G C 4
H D,E,G,I 13
I C 2
J G,H 1
K F,H,J 6

a. Draw the network diagram for this project


b. Compute the early start (ES), late start (LS), early finish (EF), and late finish
(LF) times for each activity in the network

K F,H,J 6 33 39 39 33
c. What is the critical path? What is the expected completion time of the
project?
• ADEFK = 5+6+8+6 = 30
• ABCDEFK = 5+4+2+6+8+5+6 = 36
• ABCGHJK = 5+4+2+4+13+1+6 = 35
• ABCIHJK = 5+4+2+2+13+1+6 = 33
• ADEHIJK = 5+6+8+13+1+6 = 39 Critical path
2. RusTech Tooling, Inc., is a large job shop operation that builds machine tools and dies to
manufacture parts for specialized items. The company bids primarily on contracts for
government-related activities to produce parts for such things as military aircraft,
weapons systems, and the space program. The company is bidding on a contract to
produce a component part for the fuselage assembly in a new space shuttle. A major
criterion for selecting the winning bid besides low cost is the time required to produce the
part. However, if the company is awarded the contract it will be held strictly to the
completion date specified in the bid, and the delays will result in severe financial
penalties. In order to determine the project completion time to put in its bid, the company
has identified the project activities, precedence relationships, and activity times shown
in the following table.

If RussTech, Inc., wants to be 90 percent certain that it can deliver the part
without incurring a penalty, what time frame should it specify in the bid?
