ABC Hospital (Project Management)

Project manager of the ABC hospital project, divided the project into two major modules.
Using WBS, the project team developed the precedence relationships, activity time estimates
etc as given in the following tables. The normal and possible crash time with associated costs
for each activity are provided in the table. These are called direct cost. Direct cost includes
labours, materials and any other costs directly related to project activities.

Project indirect cost is 8000 per week. Indirect cost includes administration and other
overhead cost that can be avoided by reducing project time.

There is penalty of 20,000 per week if the hospital is not fully operational by 65 weeks. The
penalty is imposed and agreed by both the parties.
