Assignment 4 PDF

This document provides information about planning and scheduling, including: 1) Four pairs of statements with options to identify whether both statements are true/false or if one is true and one is false. 2) A project with 12 activities, their predecessors, and durations. It asks the number of critical activities, minimum project duration, and total float of one activity. 3) A network with 3 activities, their time estimates, and asks expected project duration, probability of completing within 30 days, and project duration with 25% chance of completion.

ASSIGNMENT – 4

PLANNING AND SCHEDULING (Part-1)


Problem 4 [20 marks; TWO marks for a correct and - (-ve) ONE for every wrong response]

Read the pairs of statements and select option as A, B, C or D based on the following

A: If both the statements are true B: If both the statements are false

C If statement (1) is true and (2) is false D: If statement (1) is false and (2) is true

Statement-1: Critical path of a network should not consist of dummy activities

1 Statement-2: Activities that do not consume any time nor resources are called critical activities

Statement-1: Even if a non-critical activity in a network is delayed more than its float, (all other
factors remaining unchanged), the project completion date will not be extended.
2
Statement-2: The duration of the critical path in a network indicates the minimum feasible
time for completing the project

Statement-1: In PERT, activity durations are assumed to follow beta


distribution.
3
Statement-2: In PERT, the expected duration of the project (calculated by
adding the expected time of critical activities) follows beta distribution.

Statement-1: The earliest finish time (EFT) of an activity depends on the


earliest finish time of the project
4
Statement-2: The latest finish time of (LFT) an activity depends on the
earliest finish time of the project

Comprehensive information (Questions 5- 7)

A project has 12 activities - A, B, C, D…. L. The relationship among these


activities and their durations are given in Table-2.
Table 2: Activities, their respective predecessors and duration
Activity Predecessors Duration (days)
A --- 3
B --- 6
C --- 6
D A 4
E A 3
F C 4
G C 8
H B, E, F 6
I B, E, F 11
J B, E, F 3
K G, J 12
L D, H 10

1. The number of critical activities in the project are


a) 3
b) 4
c) 6
d) 5
2. The minimum project duration (in days) is
a) 23 days
b) 26 days
c) 21 days
d) 20 days
3. The total float of activity F is
a) 0 days
b) 3 days
c) 4 days
d) 9 days

Comprehensive information (Questions 8-10)

A network consists of three activities A, B and C. The interdependencies and the


estimates of their optimistic time, most likely time and pessimistic time (in days)
are shown in Table 3.
Table 3: Activities, their respective predecessors and time
estimates
Activity Predecessors Optimistic time Most likely time Pessimistic time
(days) (days) (days)
A --- 3 6 15
B A 3 9 27
C B 2 5 8

4. In how many days the project can be expected to be completed?


a) 21 days
b) 23 days
c) 25 days
d) 27 days
5. What is the probability of completing the project within 30 days?
a) 93.5%
b) 96.5%
c) 90.5%
d) 98.5%
6. The project duration that has 25% chance of completion is ---
a) 26 days
b) 24 days
c) 19 days
d) 22 days
