    ASSIGNMENT: Critical Path Analysis

    NAME: NUR ANISA WASILAH BINTI MOHD NOOR SHAHRIN


    MATRIX NUMBER: 212051542
    Question 1

    The precedence table for activities involved in producing a computer game is shown below. An
    activity on arc network is to be drawn to model this production process.
    a. Explain why it is necessary to use at least two dummies when drawing the activity network.
    b. Draw the activity network using exactly two dummies.

    Activity Must be preceded by


    A -
    B -
    C B
    D A, C
    E A
    F E
    G E
    H G
    I D, F
    J G, I
    K G, I
    L H, K

    Answer:

    The above network diagram shows the network with exactly two dummies, two dotted lines. The two dummies
    are needed to bring out the precedence relationship for D & J.

    Both activities D & J have two predecessors A& C and G&I. However, E &H also has predecessors A&G, so
    to model this a dummy activity is require
    Question 2

    A project is modelled by the activity network shown above. The activities are represented by the
    arcs. The number in brackets on each arc gives the time, in hours, to complete the activity. The
    numbers in circles are the event numbers. Each activity requires on worker.
    a. Explain the purpose of the dotted line from event 6 to event 8.
    b. Calculate the early time and late time for each event.
    c. Calculate the total float on activities D, E and F.
    d. Determine the critical activities.
    Answer:
    a) The dotted line from point 6 to point 8 is referred to as a "dummy activity," which is an
    activity that is inserted to a project schedule or a placeholder and that illustrates the logical
    connection between two activities.

    b) Early time and late time of each activity shown in below table.

    Question 2

    c) Total Float (LF-EF)


    Activity Latest Finish Time Earliest Finish Time Total Float (LF-EF)
    (LF) (EF)
    D 20 20 20-20=0
    E 20 20 20-20=0
    F 29 13 29-13=16

    d) Determine the critical activities.
