Question 1 - answer
Using the information given in table 1:
a) Draw a network of the activities given in the table; identify the critical path, the total and free floats.
b) Use the network constructed in part (a) above to draw a bar (Gantt) chart. Indicate the critical path, total float
and free float on the chart.
c) Using the Gantt chart drawn in (b) and the resources shown in the table draw a resource histogram and
cumulative resource curve (“S” curve). Note – the resources given are the number of resources used per task per
week.
