Network exercise with time (P4)
Construct a PERT/CPM network for a project with the
following activities and times:
Activity Immediate Time
Predecessor (months)
A - 4
B - 6
C A 2
D A 6
E C, B 3
F C, B 3
G D, E 5
a) Find the critical path for this project network.
b) This project must be complete in 1 1/2 years; do you
anticipate difficulty in meeting the deadline? Explain.

Consider the following network (P6)
(times are in weeks)

2 C 5

A F
D H
5 3
6 8
1 G

B 10
E

3 7

a. Identify the critical path.

b. How long will it take to complete this project?
c. Can activity D be delayed without delaying the entire project?
How about activity C? If so, how many weeks?
d. What is the schedule for activity E?

 Network exercise with time (P7)
A project involving the installation of a computer system consists
of eight activities. The immediate predecessor and activity time in
weeks are shown below:
Activity Immediate Time
Predecessor (weeks)
A - 3
B - 6
C A 2
D B,C 5
E D 4
F E 3
G B,C 9
H F,G 3
a. Draw the PERT/CPM network for this project.
b. What are the critical path activities?
c. What is the expected project completion time?
