The Alpha Beta Gamma Record is a 16-page, two-color magazine with a circulation of 2,400. There are two large phases of publishing the magazine. The first phase encompasses those tasks which the editor, Evan, performs himself. Evan is responsible for all facets of the magazine's production, from conception to preparation for the printer. His tasks and each task's predecessor(s) are delineated in Table 1. Data from the magazine's files show the longest, most likely, and shortest time for each job; these are also presented in Table 1. Evan believes these are reasonable estimates of the maximum, most probable, and minimum times that would be encountered.

The editor, of course, checks the printer's work for accuracy, but the primary responsibility for the completion of these tasks falls on the printer. For the past few months, Evan has been faced with delays in completing the final product. Despite his efforts to produce a quality magazine at peak efficiencies, the delays recurred. These repeated delays naturally cause delays in mailing the subscriptions. Since the Alpha Beta Gamma Record is the only source of information on upcoming regional events for collegiate members, it is important that the publication be released on time so that the members have ample time to register for these functions. Most of these regional activities are not parties. Although they are designed to be enjoyable, the national organization has long emphasized the development of individual qualities, such as leadership, over partying. Since many Alpha Beta Gamma alumni attend these functions, the collegians like to attend in order to make contacts with people with whom they might seek employment in a few years. Therefore, it is crucial that the issues be completed on time. Since he cannot control the operations of his present printer, Thrift Print, Evan decided to investigate the possibility of changing printers in order to meet his deadlines for the magazine. He found another printer, Kwik Print, for a comparable price. The description of the second phase's activities, each activity's predecessors, and the most likely times for their completions for the respective printers is found in Table 2. Experience with Thrift Print and talks with Kwik Print have led Evan to believe that these times will have little variation around these values. 5 1 U 1 1 1 w 3 1 Y Z Y 4 1 TABLE 2 Printer's tasks Activity Predecessor(s) Description Thrift Print Time Kwik Print T S Galleys typeset 3 T Galleys to editor and corrected V U Galleys returned to printer R, V Pasteup 31 w Pages* to editor for correction 0.5 X Pages to printer Blueline** sent to editor Z Blueline returned to printer Customer copies *Pages are photocopies of the galleys pasted up into magazine format.
