b)
Monte Carlo Analysis
c)
Linear programming
d)
Concurrent engineering
4.
Your lead engineer estimates that a work package will most likely require 50 weeks to complete. It could be completed in 40 weeks if all goes well, but it could take 180 weeks in the worst case. What is the PERT estimate for the expected duration of the work package?
