A

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: Network diagram is to be drawn.

Concept Introduction: Network diagram is a graphical representation of tasks in symbols and lines for easy understanding. Networking technique is a method for planning, programming and controlling of work in progress. It is helpful for effective management. It helps the management for decisions.

B

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The critical path needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Critical path is a method used to evaluate the project. It is used when the activity times are deterministic. It states the longest path in the network. It defines the minimum time required for completion of the project.

C

Summary Introduction

Interpretation: The slack activities of A and D are to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: Slack is the time evaluates the time delayed during the activity. For calculation, the earliest and the latest time of an activity are required.

In the MABE case report what would be the reccomened course of action?
Question 6. An electrical engineering company is designing two types of solar panel systems: Standard Panels (S) and High-Efficiency Panels (H). The company has certain constraints regarding the hours of labor and material available for production each week. Each Standard Panel requires 4 hours of labor and 2 units of material and each High-Efficiency Panel requires 3 hours of labor and 5 units of material. The company has a maximum of 60 hours of labor and 40 units of material available per week. The profit from each Standard Panel is GH¢80, and the profit from each High-Efficiency Panel is GH¢100. The company wants to determine how many of each type of panel to produce in order to maximize profit. i) Solve this LPP by using graphical analysis ii) What will be the slack at the optimal solution point? Show calculation.
