Exercise 9

Reconstruct the example problem at the end of this chapter as an AOA network. Assume that the most likely times ( m ) are the normal activity times and that the optimistic times ( a ) are the activity crash times. Further assume that the activities have the following normal and crash costs:
a. Formulate the general linear programming model for this project network, using most likely activity times ( m ).
b. Formulate the linear programming crashing model that would crash this network by the maximum amount.
c. Solve this model by using the computer.
