Tutorial 2

The document provides instructions for using the critical path method (CPM) to analyze two projects. The first project involves manufacturing padlocks and identifies 10 activities with their durations in hours. The second project lists 12 activities by name and duration in days to construct an activity on arrow (AOA) network, calculate total float, and find the critical path. CPM is used to determine the longest sequence of dependent activities and the minimum time needed to complete the project.
