Part 1:Your tutor will allocate you to a project management case study. You need to draw a Gantt chart and Activity-On-Node network to find the critical path method an determine a completion date for a project based from the case study.
Part 2:Your tutor will allocate you to different case study. You need to analyse data by applying what you have learnt. You will need to apply a suitable simulation theory such as (the Monte Carlo technique) to demonstrate what the effects of your recommendations would be.
School of Engineering — MANU2469 Performance Management Foundations Assessment 2: Project Management & Simulation Case Study Assessment Type: Case Study Report Word limit: 2000 (+/– 10%) Due date: Monday of Week 5, 23:59 Melbourne time Weighting: 30% Overview You will be provided with two case studies. Part 1: Your tutor will allocate you to a project management case study. You need to draw a Gantt chart and Activity-On- Node network to find the critical path method an determine a completion date for a project based from the case study. Part 2: Your tutor will allocate you to different case study. You need to analyse data by applying what you have learnt. You will need to apply a suitable simulation theory such as (the Monte Carlo technique) to demonstrate what the effects of your recommendations would be. You are required to complete two components, submitted as one zip file in Canvas. • A Word file, for the report containing the details of the model, the solution and the recommendations to the problem. • And an Excel file. Learning Outcomes This assessment is relevant to the following course learning outcomes: CLO5 Re-structure the provided data set into different interpretable modelling frameworks CLO6 Apply decision making techniques to the different forms of data models and investigate what-if scenarios CLO7 Create innovative solutions to solve problems recognised in the what-if scenarios After completion of this assessment you should be able to: − Use excel software to analyse data. − Apply a suitable simulation theory, such as the Monte Carlo technique to a case study. − Analyse results and note whether there are any outliers. − Apply the right format Gantt chart and draw it correctly − Apply the right format of an Activity-on-note (AON) network, and draw it to find the critical path. Determine the earliest possible (crashed) completion time of a project Pag Referencing guidelines Use RMIT Harvard referencing style for this assessment. You must acknowledge all the courses of information you have used in your assessments. Refer to the RMIT Easy Cite referencing tool to see examples and tips on how to reference in the appropriated style. You can also refer to the library referencing page for more tools such as EndNote, referencing tutorials and referencing guides for printing. Submission format You will zip the Word Document and Excel file and upload as one (1) single file via Canvas. Academic integrity and plagiarism Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas. You should take extreme care that you have: • Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods • Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own. RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct. Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including: • Failure to properly document a source • Copyright material from the internet or databases • Collusion between students For further information on our policies and procedures, please refer to the University website.
