The various paths through the network and their corresponding durations as follo

Question

The various paths through the network and their corresponding durations as follows :

Start -A-D-H-Finish = 12 + 28 + 20 = 60

Start-B-D-H-Finish = 12 + 28 + 20 -= 60

Start-B-C-F-H-Finish = 12 + 16 + 9 + 20 = 57

Start-B-C-G-H – Finish = 12 + 16 + 10 + 20 = 58

Since START-B-C-G-H- FINISH has the longest path, it forms the CRITICAL PATH

Expected total Lead time of the project

= Duration of the Critical path = 58

CRITICAL PATH = START-B-C-G-H-FINISH

DURATION OF CRITICAL PATH = 58

CRITICAL PATH = START-B-C-G-H-FINISH

DURATION OF CRITICAL PATH = 58

Explanation / Answer

Using the traditional method of CPM and the diagram shown below (different node colors are different resources). Duration times (in days) for each activity are “padded” (uncut).

Identify the various paths through the network?

What activities are on the critical path? What is the expected total lead time of the project?
