    McGee Carpet and Trim is installing carpets in commercial offices. The company is concerned about delays in completing recent jobs due to unreliable workers. The document provides time estimates for 7 activities required to complete a new carpet installation project. Using the provided optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic times, a Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) analysis will be conducted to determine the expected completion time and variance for each activity, the total project time and critical path, early start/finish times and slack for each activity, and the probability of completing the project in 40 days or less. Additionally, project management techniques will be evaluated in terms of how they can help McGee Carpet achieve its operational goals and requirements by

    McGee Carpet and Trim installs carpets in commercial offices.

    Andrea McGee has


    been very concerned with the amount of time it took to complete several recent
    jobs. Some of her workers are very unreliable. A list of activities and their optimistic
    completion time, the most likely completion time, and the pessimistic completion
    time (all in days) for a new contract are provided in a given table. Following are the
    activities that are required to install the carpets in the offices:

    Activity 1: Measure office room dimensions

    Activity 2: Estimate cost

    Activity 3: Material requisition

    Activity 4: Workforce requisition

    Activity 5: Special tool requisition

    Activity 6: Installation

    Activity 7: Inspection and customer acceptance

    Activity 2 starts immediately after Activity 1. Activity 3, Activity 4, and Activity 5


    start concurrently after Activity 2. Activity 6 does not start until after Activity 3,
    Activity 4, and Activity 5 are completed. The carpet installation project is complete
    after Activity 7 is completed. If OT = Optimistic Time, MT = Most Likely Time, and PT
    = Pessimistic Time, use a Program Evaluation Review Estimate (PERT) to compute
    the statistical time for each activity, as in the following table:

    You must also do the following:

    Determine the expected completion time and the variance for each activity

    Determine the total project completion time and the critical path for the
    project

    Determine Early Start (ES), Early Finish (EF), Late Start (LS), and slack for
    each activity

    What is the probability that McGee Carpet and Trim will finish the project in
    40 days or less?

    Define project management and the necessary requirements.

    Analyze implications of changes in project scheduling.

    Evaluate application of project management techniques in terms of the firm's


    business operational goals and requirements.

    Please submit your assignment in an APA-formatted paper.


    Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will
    need the following:

    Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.

    Abstract: A summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in


    third-person voice.

    Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page
    and abstract page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or
    quadruple-space between paragraphs). The type face should be 12-pt. Times
    Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or
    italics except as required for APA-level headings and references. The
    deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 23 pages.
    In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are
    required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.

    Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources
    are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA
    format using appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and
    lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the
    Reference Page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated
    in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a
    corresponding in-body citation.
