Answer:

a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.

b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.

c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.

d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.

e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.

Explanation:

a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.

b) The criteria for critical activity:

LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\

ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} = duration of the activity

where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,

The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.

activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F

therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.

c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.

d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities

= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]

= 23 weeks.

e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29

= 5 weeks

The critical path is given in the diagram,
