Create a resource loading chart for the project described by this table and then adjust activities by splitting them or delaying them in order to meet the resource constraints of 8 hours of work per day
Show your new resource loading chart, indicating which activities have been adjusted. What is the change in project completion dates?
Activity Time Predecessor Resource Time/Day Resource
G 5 -- 5 1
F 2 -- 3 1, 2
D 4 G 2 2
R 3 F 5 3
W 5 D 4 1, 3
M 4 R 7 3
K 4 M, W 3 2, 3
Z 2 K 6 2
The initial resource loading chart is below; project completion time is 20 days but the combination of activities R and G and activities M and D exceed the 8-hour-per-day threshold.
Activities R and M both have 5 days of slack; if activity R is delayed until day 5, it will begin then and be completed on day 8. M must be delayed until D is completed, which will then delay the project's completion by 4 days.
