Exam 12: Resource Management

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?

Use the project described in the table to determine the total resources required for this project on day 2 if a worker is expected to devote half-time (four hours per day)to this project. Activity Duration Predecessor 5 days - 4 days 5 days A 6 days 6 days , 6 days

The best method for establishing the existence of resource conflicts across project activities uses resource-loading charts.

Use this activity precedence table to create a resource loading profile.Activity lengths are given in days and an 8-hour day is assumed. Activity Time Predecessor A 2 B 3 A C 6 B 5 A E 3 C F 2 D G 2 E,F

Use the project described in the table to determine the total resources required for this project during week 2 if a worker is expected to devote half-time (four hours per day)to this project.Assume that the project work is conducted on a 5-day-per-week basis. Activity Duration Predecessor 5 days - 4 days 5 days A 6 days 6 days , 6 days

A resource loading form can be generated once you have developed:

The independent axis of a resource loading chart is in units of:

Use the resource loading table to determine which of the Yaki sisters is over-allocated. Resource Work Details 23- Oct 30- Oct Suki 64 Work 32 32 16 Work 16 24 Work 16 8 D 24 Work 24 Terri 40 Work 16 16 8 24 Work 16 8 E 16 Work 8 8

Placing resources on a detailed schedule of tasks is referred to as:

In general,when constructing a resource loading chart,one should avoid:

The One Shovel Construction Company is hired by the City of Edmond to lay sewer pipe from the east end of town to the west end of town using their single shovel to dig the trench.While the crew would like to begin at both ends simultaneously and have a dramatic ceremony when both ends meet,they find themselves with a bit of a:

A project is composed of the seven activities shown in the table where all activities are in weeks. The resource profile for an early start schedule is plotted below. Suppose that the line representing resource usage is a function of time and is described by the equation Usage=f(t).What is the definite integral of this function over the domain 0 to 52? In other words,find the solution to: $\int _ { 0 } ^ { 52 } f ( t )$ for this project.

The BEST method for establishing the existence of resource conflicts across project activities uses:

A project that must be finished by December 31st is:

Consider the portfolio of projects described in the table.The resource requirements are in numbers of labor hours.The First in Line rule would begin work with project: Resource Resource Resource Project Date Rec'd Date Due 1 2 3 A Apr 2006 Oct 2006 125 200 100 B Feb 2006 Sep 2006 200 350 400 C Mar 2006 Alg 2006 100 650 200 Tan 2006 Nov 2006 150 250 350

Which of the following would NOT typically be displayed in a resource loading table?

The project described in the table uses the same resource for activities A,B,C,and D.Which activity gets first use of this resource if we assign the resource based on the activity with the smallest amount of slack? Activity Duration Predecessor WBS ID W 4 - 12 A 3 W 16 B 4 W 15 C 5 W 13 D 6 W 14 E 1 B 17 Z 7 A, E, C, D 18

Rank the three key parameters,schedule slippage,resource utilization,and in-process inventory,from most critical to least critical for an organization and justify your ranking.

Consider the project that is neatly summarized in this table.What are the highest priority activities when using the most resources required leveling heuristic? Activity Duration Predecessors Workers Required A 8 - 3 B 2 - 4 D 6 A 5 E 7 B 6

A resource loading table is created through identifying the project activities and the resources required for completion and applying this information to the project schedule baseline.
