Determine the total hours and the hours per person required to complete the work? Determine the total labor cost and the labor cost per person?

Include color-coding by resource for each bar of the Gantt chart. Develop a responsibility histogram for each resource over the length of the project and describe what adjustments, if any, were made to the project schedule to effectively deal with resource overloads or other schedule conflicts related to precedence (logic) requirements Prepare a resourced-constrained (yet resource-leveled) critical path and its length.

Q.2.
Activity Duration ES LS EF LF Total Float Free Float Successor Critical activity
A 2 0 4 2 6 4 4 D
B 6 0 0 6 6 0 0 D Critical
C 2 0 4 2 6 4 4 D
D 3 6 6 9 9 0 0 E Critical
E 10 9 9 19 19 0 0 F,G,H Critical
F 2 19 22 21 24 3 3 I
G 5 19 19 24 24 0 0 I Critical
H 4 19 20 23 24 1 1 I
I 2 24 24 26 26 0 0 Critical
Critical Path – B-D-E-G-I and it takes 26 days.
b. Total hours and the hours per person required to complete the work-
Duration – (2+6+2+3+10+5+2+4+2) * 8 = 288 total hours
Hours of Alcides = (2+2+3+2+2) * 8 = 88 hours required to complete the work
Hours of Joan = (6+10+5+4) * 8 = 200 hours required to complete the work
c. Total labor cost and the labor cost per person
Total labor cost = (88 * 45) + (200 * 50) = $13,960
Labor cost of Alcides = 88 * 45 = $3,960
Labor cost of Joan = 200 * 50 = $10,000

  2. Your boss is the project manager for a large contract assembly plant. A new customer has come to you with a product they want 20 units of assembled. The customer estimates that the time to assemble a unit is about 15 hours to assemble each one and is willing to pay you at that rate. She accepts the terms and offers you the project. You want to impress the boss but you don’t want to take the project if it will lose money and make you look bad. She tells you that the first unit took 25 hours and the second one took 20 hours. a) What is the learning rate for this project? How many hours do you expect the third unit to take? How many hours do you expect the 20th unit to take? What is the percentage change in productivity from the first unit to the 20th unit? b) What is the total number of hours required for all 20 units? What is the average time to assemble all of the units? Should you accept the project? Why or why not? c) After you have finished the project, the company comes back and asks for 20 more units. How long do believe the first unit of the order would take to produce? The 20th? How many labour hours would be required for the second order? What is the labour time per unit? d) Suppose your company can supply 503 labour hours per month to this product. What is your “capacity” to produce this product (i.e. how many can you produce in the first month)?
  3. Buckeye Furniture produces tables and chairs, earning $120 profit per table and $80 profit per chair. Each table and chair goes through three stages in the manufacturing process: assembly, finishing, and inspection. Each table requires 3 hours of assembly, 2 hours of finishing, and 1 hour of inspection. Each chair requires 2 hours of assembly, 2 hours of finishing, and 1 hour of inspection. Every week there are 200 hours of assembly time available, 180 hours of finishing time, and 40 hours of inspection time. The decision variables in the model are X1 for the number of tables and X2 for the number of chairs. Which of the answers below is a feasible solution? X1 = 70, X2 = 0 X1 = 0, X2 = 50 X1 = 25, X2 = 25 X1 = 0, X2 = 0 none of the above
  4. A) what is the project completition date? B) what is the total cost required for completing this project on normal time? C) if you wish to reduce the time required to complete this project by 1 week, which activity should be crashed, and how much will this increase the total cost? D) what is the maximum time that can be crashed? How much eould costs increase? https://media.cheggcdn.com/media%2F3a3%2F3a320a3e-a90b-4b63-a9dd-2d622add9ce8%2Fimage of Version 2.0 of a particular accounting software product is being considered by Jose Noguera’s technology firm in Baton Rouge.
