Tien-Chang, Huang
1. Describe the significance of the Critical Path and how to identify the Critical Path. (2 pts)
Critical Path is the path(s) with the longest duration in the network diagram. If any activity in the path is delayed, the whole project will be delayed.
2. What is the total project duration, project start and end dates? (1 pt)
Total Project Duration 137 days
Project Start Date Mon. 4/4/16
Project End Date Fri. 10/21/16
3. List the Activities that are on the Critical Path and fill in all columns in the table below (add rows as needed): (4 pts)
Activity / Task Name Start Date Finish Date Duration Float
Publish the Project Plan 4/4/16 4/15/16 10 0 day
Build the Main Road 4/13/16 4/20/16 6 0 day
Clear Chair Lift site 4/21/16 6/10/16 36 0 day
Build Chair Lift Foundation 6/13/16 6/20/16 6 0 day

Then, changing dependency of Build Chair lift Foundation and Clear Site from SS to FF. By doing this, the project duration will be reduced by 6 days. Making Clear Chair Lift Site and Clear Main Ski Slope to be FF and change Build Chair Lift Foundation and Install of Chair Tower to SS dependency with 1 day lag time. After that, revise dependency of Install Cable and Install Electric Motor to be FS with 3 days lead. Then, change Install Cable and Install Chairs to FS dependency with 2 days lead. Finally, I want to change dependency of Clear Main Ski Slopes and Clear Chair Lift Site to be FS with 12 days
