Question:
A company is planning to manufacture a product that consists of three parts, labeled A, B, and C. The company anticipates that it will take five weeks to design the three parts and determine the way in which these parts must be assembled to make the final product.
Then the company estimates that it will take four weeks to make part A, five weeks to make part B, and three weeks to make part C. The company must test part A after it is completed, and the testing takes two weeks. The assembly line process will then proceed as follows: assemble parts A and B (two weeks) and then attach part C (one week). Then the final product must undergo one week of testing. Draw the AON project network. Then find the critical path and the minimum amount of time needed to complete the project, and create the associated Gantt chart.
