3] Cost and schedule data for a small project are given below. Draw the network and
determine the critical path. Crash the project to its minimum duration and plot the Direct
Cost vs. Time curve. Assume an indirect cost of Rs. 200/day. Develop the least-cost
curve (Direct + Indirect costs) for the project.
(1) Determine the critical path, the expected project duration and the project variance
(2) What is the probability that the project will be completed by day 23?
(3) How many days would be required to give a 50% chance of completing the project on
time? Write a few sentences on how you calculated this value.
5. The following data has been developed for a small project
6. Given:
a) Man-hours:
b) Cost:
c) Percent complete for each activity/month:
Problem Statement:
At the end of each month determine:
• SV
• CV
• SPI
• CPI
• EAC
7. Details of five activity project are given below. The total man-hours required for the
activity are given and workers indicate the number of workers which are allotted for the
activity. It may be assumed that the workday consists of 10 hours and the work week
consists of 5 days. The cost given includes all costs associated with the activity.
Updates for the activities are done every 10 days (2 weeks)
PART-A
(i) Determine the Planned % complete of the project for each update based on
Man-Hours & Cost
After the project has started the following data is collected for 3 updates (10,20 & 30
working days)
PART-B
(ii) Determine the schedule and cost performance of the project at each update using
Earned Manhours as the measure of progress.
