Software Installation: You are the project manager of the software installation project (see figure & table) below. You would like to find the minimum-cost schedule for your project. There is a $1,000-per-week penalty for each week the project is delayed beyond week 25. In addition, your project team determined that indirect project costs are $2,500 per week.

Also solve for the minimum total cost
associated with finishing the project in 13 weeks and the total
project's duration (and of each activity according to the minimum
cost schedule)
The table below contains data for the installation of new equipment in a manufacturing process at Excello Corporation. Your company is responsible for the installation project.

Consider the project network information in Table 1 of Case Study A on Page 3 below. Assuming the project starts at time zero and all activity connections are finish-to-start, draw an Activity on the Node (AON) network diagram of the project, determine the expected project completion time, state the critical activities and critical path(s). Crash the project by 1 week and state the total crash cost. (b) (18 narl Case Study A Table 1 below contains activities associated with a...

Table 2 contains information about an environmental cleanup project in the township of Hiles. Shorten the project 3 weeks by finding the minimum-cost schedule. Assume that project indirect costs and penalty costs are negligible. Identify activities to crash while minimizing the additional crash costs. What is the project’s duration if only normal times are used? What is the minimum-cost schedule? What is the critical path for the minimum-cost schedule?
