10. A workshop shed construction project is composed of five jobs as P (foundation and
walls), Q (roofing), R (install electricity), S (plumbing), and T (connect services to
finish). Activity P must precede all others while activity T must follow all others. Apart
from this, jobs can run concurrently. The normal cost in thousands of rupees per day and
crash cost in thousands of rupees per day for the activities are given in the form
X(Nc/Nt, Cc/Ct) where (Nc is Normal cost, Nt is Normal time; and Cc is Crash cost, Ct is
Crash time)) as P (60/10; 80/8), Q (24/12, 40/4), R (20/8, 36/6), S (24/10, 40/6), and
T (32/6, 32/6). Draw the network and AON diagrams and identify the critical path. Also,
crash the network fully to find out the minimum duration and optimum cost. Given is
indirect costs as Rs. 6000/day. [10]
OR
11.a) Describe briefly the factor comparison method of job evaluation.
b) A project PERT network has only three possible paths, P-R, P-S-U, and Q-T-U. The
activities, along with their expected time and standard deviations, are represented in
ordered pairs as P(8, 2), Q(16, 4), R(15, 3), S(14, 2), T(5, 2), and U(5, 1). Develop the
network and find the probability of completing the project in 25 days. [5+5]
