Crashing of Activities Example

The critical path is A-B-E-F with a total normal duration of 15 weeks. To shorten the project duration by 3 weeks, tasks A and D should each be shortened by 1 week, costing an additional $500 + $2000 = $2500. The new critical path after crashing would be checked to ensure it is still shortened by 3 weeks.
