Case: Family Planning Research Center of Nigeria (A) : Activity Pred Time EST EFT LST LFT Slack Critical?

This document presents a project schedule and critical path analysis for a family planning research center project in Nigeria. It includes an activity-on-node network diagram with 11 activities (A-K), their durations, predecessors, earliest start and finish times, latest start and finish times, slack times, and whether each activity is on the critical path. It then provides additional details about allocating staff to activities and calculating new start and finish times. Finally, it presents a linear programming model to minimize the project duration by crashing activities with associated crash costs.
