ACTIVITY MOST OPTIMISTIC PESSIMISTI


LIKELY C
1-2 6 4 9
1-3 5 5 7
1-4 8 5 18
2-5 8 7 13
3-5 5 4 4
3-6 4 4 2
4-6 12 6 21
5-6 16 14 21
Required:

(a) Calculate the expected duration for each of the activities listed in
the table correct to one decimal place.
(5 marks)

(b) Draw activity–on-arrow network diagram showing all expected


activity
durations. (4
marks)
(c) Identify:

(i) all possible paths in (b) above and their corresponding durations.
(4
marks)

(ii) the critical path and determine the minimum duration to


complete the
networking. (2
marks)
(Total 15
marks)

8.7
(b)
2 5
6.2

4.7 16.5
1 5.3

9.2 32 3.7

6
12.5
4

(c) (i) Path Duration


1- 2 – 5 – 6 6.2 + 8.7 + 16.5 = 31.4
1–3–5–6 5.3 + 4.7 + 16.5 = 26.5
1–3–6 5.3 + 3.7 = 9.0
1–4–6 9.2 + 12.5 = 21.7

(ii) Critical path is 1- 2 – 5 – 6


∴Minimum duration is 31.4 weeks
