Critical Path:
The critical path is the longest path with no slack or float. This path is:
A→C→F→G→I→L

The total duration of the project is 19 days.

Resource Allocation Without Constraints


Before applying resource constraints, we assume that all activities can start at their earliest possible time.

Day-by-Day Resource Usage (Before Constraints):

1. Day 1: Activity A

Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1

2. Days 2-3: Activities B, C

Engineers: 4 (2E for B, 2E for C), Trucks: 3 (1T for B, 2T for C)

3. Days 4-6: Activities B, D, E

Engineers: 4 (2E for B, 1E for D, 1E for E), Trucks: 4 (1T for B, 1T for D, 2T for E)

4. Days 7-12: Activities F, G

Engineers: 5 (3E for G, 2E for F), Trucks: 2 (2T for F, G requires no trucks)

5. Days 12-13: Activities H, I, J

Engineers: 5 (1E for H, 3E for I, 1E for J), Trucks: 4 (2T for I, 2T for J)

6. Days 13-16: Activities I, J, K

Engineers: 5 (2E for K, 1E for J, 3E for I), Trucks: 4 (2T for K, 2T for J)

7. Days 17-19: Activity L

Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1
Resource Allocation with Constraints
Now, we apply the resource limits: 5 Engineers and 4 Trucks

Day-by-Day Resource Usage (After Constraints):

1. Day 1: Activity A

Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1

2. Days 2-3: Activities B, C

Engineers: 4, Trucks: 3

3. Days 4-6: Activities B, D, E

Engineers: 4, Trucks: 4

4. Days 7-12: Activities F, G

Engineers: 5, Trucks: 2

5. Days 12-13: Activities H, I, J

Engineers: 5, Trucks: 4

6. Days 13-16: Activities I, J, K

Engineers: 5, Trucks: 4

7. Days 17-19: Activity L

Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1
