1. Draw the network diagram (use activity on the node). 2. Explain how you determined the timing of activities and the total float. From the work of Field and Keller (1998)‚ there are some relationships among EST‚ EFT‚ LST‚ LFT‚ duration and TF in an activity-on-node. (See Table 1) Meanwhile‚ there are some types of dependency‚ but finish-to-start lag is normal one. In the network diagram drawn‚ it uses the finish-to-start relationship. Earliest Finish Time(EFT) = Earliest Start Time(EST)
