1 2 3 4 The manager, Jenny has designed the schedule for a renovation project. The jobs involved and their start and finish (or end) dates are listed in Table 3. Answer the questions below, Q1 Q3. How the days are counted to determine the end date can be understood by this example: If a job starts at 3/1/2024 and is expected to take 3 days, the finish/end date will be 3/4/2024 (i.e. one processing day goes from one day to the next day). 5 6 Q1: Create the Gantt chart for Jenny's schedule (i.e., Table 3). The origin of the time axis should be labeled as 3/1/2024. 7 8 9 Table 3 -- Jenny's schedule 10 Job label Job description Start date End date 11 A Select staff members 3/15/24 3/27/24 12 B Survey 3/16/24 3/25/24 13 C Select equipment 4/7/24 4/17/24 14 D Prepare final plan 3/26/24 4/5/24 15 E Bring utilities to site 4/1/24 4/25/24 16 F Interview applicants 3/28/24 4/7/24 17 G Purchase/deliver equipment 4/12/24 5/16/24 18 H Renovation 4/5/24 5/15/24 19 Update infomation system 3/30/24 4/14/24 20 J Install equipment 5/17/24 5/20/24 21 K Train new staff 5/22/24 5/28/24 22 23 Days Q2: According to Jenny's schedule, how many days will the project take? 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 Q3: You recently learned about the revised job durations and the updated availability of essential resources, such as funds, workers, supplies, and permits, which are required for each job. Clearly, no job can begin until all the necessary resources are available. The earliest possible start dates for each job, based on the availability of resources, are provided in Table 4. The revised job times and the precedence relationships between tasks are also reflected in the table. With this new information, you began reviewing Jenny's schedule for any dates in Table 3 that might be infeasible and require adjustment. Since Jenny has already announced the project's completion date based on her schedule in Table 3, you should aim to maintain that completion date as much as possible. If no issues are found with Jenny's schedule after your review, there is no need for changes. However, if you identify any scheduling conflicts, you will need to revise the schedule to ensure the project finish date remains as close to Jenny's originally announced completion date as possible. Ideally, the finish date should stay unchanged. 34 35 36 So, what is the finish date of the project after your review and changes made as needed? 37 38 39 40 Table 4 Immediate Time needed Earliest date 41 Job label Job description predecessor(s) (days) to start at 42 A Select staff members 12 3/15/24 43 B Survey 9 3/16/24 44 C Select equipment A 10 4/6/24 45 D Prepare final plan B 10 3/26/24 46 E Bring utilities to site B 24 4/1/24 47 F Interview applicants A 10 3/26/24 48 G Purchase/deliver equipment C 34 4/9/24 49 H Renovation D 40 4/5/24 50 I Update infomation system A 15 3/26/24 51 J Install equipment E, G, H 4 5/18/24 52 K Train new staff F, I, J 7 5/23/24 53 54 mm/dd/yyyy
