QUESTION 2

a) Resource levelling involves attempting to even out varying demands on

resources by using slack (delaying noncritical activities) to manage resource

Resource loading is the act of using the resources available such as the
equipments and workers in the tasks.

QUESTION 3

a) 4 common reasons for crashing a project are

i. The project adaptability
ii. The unforeseen delays
iii. The incentive contracts
iv. Imposed deadlines

b) Total cost = $730

At 15 time unit
Indirect = $90
Direct = $730
Total = $90 + 730 = 820

At 14 time unit
Indirect = $70
Direct = $730 + $10 = $740
Total = $740 + $70 = 810

At 13 time unit
Indirect = $50
Direct = $740 + $20 = $760
Total = $760 + $50 = $810

At 12 time unit
Indirect = $40
Direct = $760 + $200 = $960
Total = $1000

At 11 time unit
Indirect = $30
Direct = $960 + $30 = $990

Total = $1020

The optimum cost time schedule is 12 time unit with the total cost of $1000.
