Precedence Relationships
From the precedence diagram, the relationships between activities are:
A → B, C
B → D, E
C → E, F
D, E → G
F→G
G → H, I, J
H→K
I, J, K → L
1. Day 1: Activity A
Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1
Engineers: 4 (2E for B, 1E for D, 1E for E), Trucks: 4 (1T for B, 1T for D, 2T for E)
Engineers: 5 (3E for G, 2E for F), Trucks: 2 (2T for F, G requires no trucks)
Engineers: 5 (1E for H, 3E for I, 1E for J), Trucks: 4 (2T for I, 2T for J)
Engineers: 5 (2E for K, 1E for J, 3E for I), Trucks: 4 (2T for K, 2T for J)
Engineers: 1, Trucks: 1
Resource Allocation with Constraints
Now, we apply the resource limits: 5 Engineers and 4 Trucks
1. Day 1: Activity A

Engineers: 4, Trucks: 3
Engineers: 4, Trucks: 4
Engineers: 5, Trucks: 2
Engineers: 5, Trucks: 4
Engineers: 5, Trucks: 4

Graphing Resource Usage
Graph (Before Constraints):
1 A, B, D, E 1E + 4E + 3E + 4E = 12E
2 B, C, E, F 4E + 3E + 4E + 5E = 16E
3E + 5E + 1E + 6E + 3E =
3 C, F, G, H, I
18E
3E + 5E + 1E + 6E + 3E =
4 C, F, G, H, I
18E
5 I, J, K 3E + 3E + 4E = 10E
6 J, K, L, M 3E + 4E + 1E + 2E = 10E
7 L 1E
