CM Exercise 8

This document contains information about a structural engineering course, including: 1) A true/false question about whether initial estimates and schedules assume unlimited resources (the answer is false). 2) A multiple choice question asking which is not considered a scheduling resource, with the answer being money. 3) Details about a precedence network for a project including activity durations and resource rates for two resources. 4) A project schedule showing activities, predecessors, durations, and resources required.

Department : Structural Engineering Course : Construction Project Management Course Code : 8414 Class Exercise 8 1. Estimates and schedules when initially prepared assume unlimited resources: a. True b. False b. 2. Float is a useful tool for project management to use in order to level resources: a. True b. False 3. Which would not be considered a scheduling resource: a. People c. Equipment b. Money d. Laydown space : 4th Civil

4. A Precedence network for a project has the logic given in the following table. The resource rates for each activity are also given. It is required to: a- Level resource I and then draw resource histogram before and after leveling on the same diagram. b- Level resource II and then draw resource histogram before and after leveling on the same diagram. c- Level resources I and II simultaneously, and plot the histograms for both resources. Compare the results with those obtained form (a) and (b).

5. Consider the following project. Resources required Plumbers Labors 2 1 1 3 3 1 2 2 3 3 4 1 5 2 4 2 3

Activity A B C D E F G H I J

Predecessor B B C A, D E E F, I

Duration (days) 4 3 6 8 7 2 9 5 4 4

Assume eleven plumbers and nine labors are available for the project. Both resources must work at the same time when assigned to the same activity. Prepare an activity schedule which satisfies the resources constraints.
