Which of the following statements is not correct
PERT is probabilistic in nature
CPM is probabilistic in nature.
CPM and PERT use similar terminology but were developed independently
All of these statements are correct
Which of the following is not a rule of network construction?
Each defined activity is represented by one and only one arrow.
A network should have only initial and one terminal node.
Identical initial and final nodes can identify two activities
Only as few dummy activities should be included as is warranted
Which is the first step of Schedule management process?
Sequence activity
Estimate activity durations
Determine activities
Develop schedule
Which is the second step of Project scheduling process?
Define activity
Estimate activity durations
Plan schedule management
Develop schedule
In this table, which information do we need more to build the schedule management plan up?
Activity list
Duration
Predecessor
CPM
In this table, which information do we need to know if we would like to develop the project schedule management?
Activity list
Sequence activity
Duration
Task coding
Slack time in project management is :
The latest point in time when the schedule activity can begin so as not to delay the project completion date or any constraint.
time a task can be delayed without causing another task to be delayed, or without impacting the overall project completion
The earliest point in time when the schedule activity can begin
The earliest point in time when the schedule activity can complete
PERT is a technique, used to manage
activities of a project
sequencing
quality
uncertain tasks of a project
A PERT network is activity-oriented while a CPM network is event-oriented
True
false
cant say
_________ are used to represent activity in a network diagram.
circle
square
Rectangle
arrow
According to the time estimates made by the PERT planners, the maximum time that would be needed to complete an activity is called as __________
a) The most likely time estimate
b) Optimistic time estimate
c) Pessimistic time estimate
d) Expected time estimate
The shortest possible time in which an activity can be achieved under ideal circumstances is known as ________
a) Pessimistic time estimate
b) Optimistic time estimate
c) Expected time estimate
d) The most likely time estimate
What does event in CPM & PERT network refers to?
The occurrence of a delay in the project
A activity inserted into the network to show a precedence relationship with no passage of time
beginning or completion of an activity or project e
The earliest and activity can start
Why does activities in the critical path are called critical
Represent the maximum project completion time
Can not tolerate any delay in completion
Represent most expense in terms of resources
Represent most longest and complex activities of the project
In PERT, slack time equals
ES + t
LS-ES
0
EF-es
non of the above
Network models such as PERT and CPM are used to
plan large and complex projects
schedule large and complex projects
monitor large and complex projects
control large and complex projects
all of the above
if activity A is on the critical path, then the slack for A will equal
LF-EF
LS-ES
0
all of the above
the earliest start time for an activity is equal to
the largest EF of the immediate predecessors
the smallest EF of the immediate predecessors
the largest ES of the immediate predecessors
the smallest ES of the immediate predecessors
The latest finish time for an activity is found during the backward pass through the network. The latest finish time is equal to
the largest LF of the activities for which it is an immediate predecessor
the smallest LF of the activities for which it is an immediate predecessor
the largest LS of the activities for which it is an immediate predecessor
the largest LS of the activities for which it is an immediate predecessor
To complete the wings assembly for an aircraft , Mr Mikhaeel has laid out the major steps and seven activities involved. these activities have been label A through G in the following table, which also shows their estimated completion times (in weeks) and immediate predecessors. determine the expected time and variance for each activity.
Now, Mikhaeel would like to determine the critical path for the entire wing assembly project as well as the expected completion time for the total project.
