Case Study Exercise 7

The document describes a case study exercise involving the production of a new custom designed sport car by Sinar Jaya Company. It includes a table with 11 activities, their predecessors, and durations. The summary is: [1] A PERT network is constructed showing the 11 activities and their dependencies. [2] Earliest and latest event times are calculated for each node. [3] The critical path and critical activities are determined to be activities B, E, F, H, and I. [4] The total float for activity G is calculated to be 8 weeks, and the independent float for activity F is calculated to be 0 weeks.

- the free time available if the activities start at the earliest possible time when the
latest finishing time is used.

ANSWER:

FORMULA:

TF= LET (H) - EET (T) - Duration

TF = 20 - 8 - 4
= 8 weeks
e) ii) Independent Float for activity F.

- the free time available if the activities start at the latest time when the earliest
finishing time is used.

ANSWER:

FORMULA:

IF= EET (H) - LET (T) - Duration
