Question

Use the information contained below to compress one time unit per move using the least cost method. Reduce the schedule until you reach the crash point of the network. For each move identify what activity(ies) was crashed and the adjusted total cost. (i.e., Calculate the minimum direct cost when project is finished in 13 days, 12 days, 11 days, as well as 10 days.)

Note: Choose B instead of C and E (equal costs) because it is usually smarter to crash early rather than late AND one activity instead of two activities

Answer 1

Summary

Step	Duration	Activity rashed (days crash)	Direct cost
0	13	-	1000
1	12	D(1)	1040
2	11	B(1)	1140
3	10	C(1), E(1)	1240
