Exam 11: Critical Chain Project Scheduling

Keith welds a one-fourth-inch diameter ball bearing and a three-eighths-inch diameter ball bearing on each end of an eighth-inch diameter cylinder.Sure,the work is tedious,but he knows he's doing his part keeping this country running and lining his employer's pockets with sweet cash.His employer hopes to speed up this activity by hiring another skilled worker,and in doing so will:
