CE-306–CPM and PERT
(Open Elective)
Duration: 2 Hours Max. Marks: - 50
Instructions:
 Answer all questions
 Missing data, if any, may be assumed suitably.
 Calculator is allowed.

1. A project consists of 10 jobs as detailed below. Write the steps and arrow diagram representation [5]
of the project.
Jobs Processor
A None
B None
C None
D A
E B
F B
G C, F
H D, G
I E, H
J C, F
2. The following information applies to a particular project. [10]
 Jobs A and F can be started and completed independently.
 Jobs B and C can start only after job A has been completed.
 Jobs D, E and G can start only after jobs B, (C and D) and (E and F) are completed,
respectively.
Time estimates of all the jobs are given in the following table:
Job Time Estimates (Days)
Optimistic Pessimistic Most Likely
A 3 7 5
B 7 11 9
C 4 24 14
D 4 12 8
E 6 12 6
F 5 19 12
G 2 6 4

i. Draw the network and determine the critical path, and its expected duration (Te).
ii. What is the probability of completing the project in 30 days?

3. Compute the earliest and the latest event times as well as the following activity times for the [10]
network shown in the Fig. 1.
Fig. 1
i. Earliest start time
ii. Latest start time
iii. Earliest finish time
iv. Latest finish time
Also compute total float, free float, and independent float and determine the critical path.

4. The following information applies to a particular project: [15]


Event 0 is the initial event
Event 1 is preceded by event 0
Event 3 is preceded by event 1
Event 4 is preceded by event 1
Event 2 is preceded by event 1
Event 3 is preceded by events 2 and 1
Event 4 is preceded by events 3 and 1
Event 5 is preceded by event 4
The values of the expected times, crash times, normal costs and crash costs for the various
activities in the project are as follows:

Activity 0-1 1-3 1-2 2-3 1-4 3-4 4-5


Expected time (days) 3 16 6 8 10 5 3
Crash time (days) 2 11 4 6 6 3 2
Normal cost (Rs.) 5000 10000 8000 12000 15000 9000 6000
Crash cost (Rs.) 5500 12000 9500 16000 19000 12000 7800
i. Draw the arrow diagram for the project.
ii. If the project overhead cost are Rs. 1700 per day, Find the optimum cost and optimum
duration for the project. Also draw the least cost network.

5. Prepare manpower loading chats based on the late start times for the project network shown in [10]
Fig. 2. Compute the optimum crew size.
