Explanation / Answer

The parallel paths and their corresponding durations as follows :

A-E-F = 2 + 3 + 0 = 5 weeks

A-C-D-F = 2 + 1 + 4 + 0 = 7 weeks

B-C-D-F = 5 + 1 + 4 + 0 = 10 weeks

B-D-F = 5 + 4 + 0 = 9 weeks

Since , B-C-D-F has the longest duration , it forms the critical path .Since, project completion time is same as duration of critical path, project completion time is 10 weeks .

CRITICAL PATH = B-S-D-F

PRJECT COMPLETION TIME = 10 WEEKS

Slack of activity A

= Duration B-C-D-F – Duration A-C-D-F

= 10 – 7

= 3 weeks

Slack of activity E

= Duration B-C-D-F – Duration A-E-F

= 10 – 5

= 5 weeks

Therefore, activity E will have maximum slack of 5 weeks

ACTIVITY E WILL HAVE MOST SLACK OF 5 WEEKS

CRITICAL PATH = B-S-D-F

PRJECT COMPLETION TIME = 10 WEEKS
