Soal 1 (30%)
You and several friends are about to prepare a lasagna dinner. The tasks to be performed, their immediate
predecessors, and their estimated durations are as follows:

(a) Construct the project network for preparing this dinner.

(b) Find all the paths and path lengths through this project network. Which of these paths is a critical path?
(c) Find the earliest start time and earliest finish time for each activity.
(d) Find the latest start time and latest finish time for each activity.
(e) Find the slack for each activity. Which of the paths is a critical path?
(f) Because of a phone call, you were interrupted for 6 minutes when you should have been cutting the onions
and mushrooms. By how much will the dinner be delayed? If you use your food processor, which reduces the
cutting time from 7 to 2 minutes, will the dinner still be delayed?

Soal 2 (35%)
Good Homes Construction Company is about to begin theconstruction of a large new home. The company’s
President, Michael Dean, is currently planning the schedule for this project. Michael has identified the five
major activities (labeled A, B, …, E) that will need to be performed according to the following project network.
He also has gathered the following data about the normal point and crash point for each of these activities.

These costs reflect the company’s direct costs for the material, equipment, and direct labor required to
perform the activities. In addition, the company incurs indirect project costs such as supervision and other
customary overhead costs, interest charges for capital tied up, and so forth. Michael estimates that these
indirect costs run $5,000 per week. He wants to minimize the overall cost of the project. Therefore, to save
some of these indirect costs, Michael concludes that he should shorten the project by doing some crashing to
the extent that the crashing cost for each additional week saved is less than $5,000.
a. To prepare for analyzing the effect of crashing, find the earliest times, latest times, and slack for each
activity when they are done in the normal way. Also identify the corresponding critical path(s) and project
duration.
b. Use marginal cost analysis to determine which activities should be crashed and by how much to minimize
the overall cost of the project. Under this plan, what is the duration and cost of each activity? How much
money is saved by doing this crashing?

Soal 3 (35%)
The Lockhead Aircraft Co. is ready to begin a project to develop a new fighter airplane for the U.S Air. Force.
The company’s contract with the Department of Defense calls for project completion within 100 weeks, with
penalties imposed for late delivery. The project involves 10 activities (labeled A, B, . . . , J ), where their
precedence relationships are shown in the following project network.

Questions:
(a) Find the estimate of the mean and variance of the duration of each activity.
(b) Find the mean critical path.
(c) Find the approximate probability that the project will finish within 100 weeks.
(d) Is the approximate probability obtained in part ( c ) likely to be higher or lower than the true value?
