Unit 11: Resource Allocation

Time-Constrained Network - Example (Gray and Larson, 2003) Notes

This next example has several parts. We will discuss each of them in some detail.

Figure 11.6: Time-Constrained Network Example

First, compute the early, late, and slack times for the activities in the network in Figure 11.7,
assuming a time-constrained network. Which activities are critical? What is the time constrained
project duration?
Figure 11.7: Time-Constrained Network Example Showing Early, Late, and Slack Times

Now, assume you are a computer using a software that schedules projects by the parallel method
and the following heuristics. Schedule only one period at a time!

 Minimum slack
 Smallest duration
 Lowest activity identification number

!

Caution Remember to maintain the technical dependencies of the network.
