You can help Cherry finish her project faster by expediting. Here are the costs.





If Cherry can keep her expediting expenses to $325 per week, then she would benefit from expediting because she can start a new project earlier than planned. If she goes over the $325 per week limit, it would not be worthwhile.



a. Which three activities cannot be expedited at all because they are at their crash times already?

b. Which two activities cannot be expedited because their expediting cost exceeds the weekly limit?

c. Which two activities are unlikely candidates for expediting because they are not on the critical path?

d. Set up a table and show step-by-step which activities should be expedited to shorten the project time. What is the minimum time the project will take if Cherry expedites the project as much as she can and stays within her limits?

e. Why is Cherry’s limit exceeded if you try to shorten the project by one day more?






a. The three activities that cannot be expedited at all because they are already at their crash times are C, F, and I.

b. The two activities that cannot be expedited because their expediting cost already exceeds the weekly limit are A, D and H (three activities).

c. The two activities that are unlikely candidates for expediting because they are not on the critical path are B, C and E (three activities).

d. The table showing step-by-step the activities that should be expedited to shorten the project time is shown below.



The minimum time the project will take if Cherry expedites the project as much as she can and stays within her limits is 19 weeks.



e. Why is Cherry’s limit exceeded if you try to shorten the project by one day more?



Cherry’s limit is exceeded if you try to shorten the project by one day more because activity G is at its crash time and the other activities are not on the critical path.
