TUTORIAL 8

1. A manager is developing a program in sustainability certification for engineers. The manager has
listed a number of activities that must be completed before a training program of this nature could be
conducted. The activities, immediate predecessors, and times appear in the accompanying table:

a. Develop an AON network for this problem.

company are given in the following table. Assume that the activity times are independent.

a. Calculate the expected time and variance for each activity.


b. What is the expected completion time of the critical path? What is the expected completion
time of the other path in the network?
µ Efferent c. What is the variance of the critical path? What is the variance of the other path in the
network?
d. If the time to complete path A–C is normally distributed, what is the probability that this path
will be finished in 22 weeks or less?
e. If the time to complete path B–D is normally distributed, what is the probability that this path
will be finished in 22 weeks or less?
f. Explain why the probability that the critical path will be finished in 22 weeks or less is not
necessarily the probability that the project will be finished in 22 weeks or less.
