Case Study - Complete the following case study #1 on project management
Managerial Report …
Develop a report that presents the activity schedule and expected project completion time for the warehouse expansion project. Include a project network in the report. In addition, take into consideration the following issue.
1.
R.C. Coleman’s top management established a required 40-week completion time for the project. Can this completion time be achieved? Include probability information in your discussion What recommendations do you have if the 40-week completion time is required?
2.
Suppose that management requests that activity times be shortened to provide an 80 percent chance of meeting the 40-week completion time. If the variance in the project completion time is the same as you found in part (1), how much should the expected project completion time be shortened to achieve a goal of an 80 percent chance of completion in 40 weeks?
3.
Enrichment Using the expected activity times as the normal times and the following crashing information, determine the activity crashing decisions and revised activity schedule for the warehouse expansion project.
Your case study comprises these additional requirements below be completed too:
Prepare a network diagram and table showing activity times use, event early start, early finish, late start, late finish and event slack.
Determine the critical path
Project duration ... is it completed in the desired 40 weeks?
Determine the probability that the project can be completed in the desired 40 weeks.
How much should the expected project completion time be shortened to achieve a goal of an 80 percent chance of completion in 40 weeks?
Create your report in MS Word. Below, is a good general structure for ALL the case studies that you need to apply to your case study report submissions.
