Answer Tutorial Part A1 CPM

The document outlines a project management exercise involving the construction of precedence diagrams and analysis of critical paths for two projects. It details the activities, durations, and dependencies, leading to the identification of critical activities and paths, as well as the impact of changes in activity durations on project completion. The total duration for the first project is 32 months, while the second project is 40 months, with specific insights on how delays in certain activities affect overall timelines.

PART A1
QUESTION 1
Construct the precedence diagram, show all critical paths and the latest time for the project to be completed.
Table 1
Immediate Duration
Activity
Predecessor (months)
A None 4
B A 6
C A 8
D B 4
E B, C 8
F D, E 2
G D 4
H E, F 6
I F, G 8
J F, H, I 2

In reference to Table 1:
i. Prepare a Precedence Diagram for the proposed project.
ii. Determine the ES, EF, LS, LF, TF and duration of the project.
iii. Determine the critical activities and the critical paths.
Describe what happens if activity E takes 9 months to complete.

b. Critical Path is, A-C-E-F-I-J
c. Total project Duration is 32 months

• If activity E takes 9 months to complete, the project will be delay for 1 month. The critical path is still the same, but
with increased duration.

f. Total project Duration is 40 months

iv. Activity D can be delayed by up to 12 months (its float). So, adding 2 days will not affect total project duration. Project
remains 40 months.
