The case assignment for
Module 3 is Parts 1 - 3, "R.C. Coleman," pp. 445 in the text. You
do not need to submit a project network, but you may want to sketch one to
visualize the activity relationships. The Management Scientist is used to provide information needed to answer questions
in Parts 1, 2 and 3. Probability analysis for Parts 1 and 2 require project
completion time and variance output from The Management Scientist. The
probabilities may be obtained from the Z-Table in
the text, or from Excel function. For Part 3, provide a
recommendation on which activity to crash if you want to crash one week.
This is a change to the case which asks for a
complete crashing schedule beyond one week. You may prepare your
answers to Parts 1 - 3 in a Word file. Insert "The Management
Scientist" decision analysis program OUT file in appropriate parts of
the Word file. Please upload the word file into the appropriate drop box in
Angel on or before the due date. If
you are late in completing this assignment, email the file to the
instructor. Pay
attention to due dates. Label
each problem appropriately. Be neat and concise. Remembr that this is a management report and software output alone will
lower the score. |
