Question 4. Milwaukee Filtering System Project Management (2009/10 Final Exam) Milwaukee Paper Manufacturing, Inc., located near downtown Milwaukee, has long been delaying the expense of installing air pollution control equipment in its facility. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently given the manufacturer 17 weeks to install a complex air filter system. Milwaukee Paper has been warned that it may be forced to close the facility unless the device is installed in the allotted time. Joni Steinberg, the plant manager, wants to make sure that installation of the filtering system progresses smoothly and on time. Given the following information, answer the questions below: Activity Description Immediate Normal Crash Normal Crash Predecessors Time Time Cost Cost A Design 15,000 15,000 B Build internal components 22,000 23,000 W N Modify roof and floor A 30.000 34,000 D Construct collection stack B 26,000 26,750 E Pour concrete and install frame B. C 3 48,000 49,000 F Build high-temperature burner D 56.000 58,400 NN G Install pollution control system D 30,000 30,500 H Install air pollution device E. F 80,000 84,500 Inspect and test G. H 16.000 19,000 (a) Draw the CPM network (Activity-on-node) with the Normal Time estimates for all activities. Calculate the earliest start time, earliest finish time, latest start time and latest finish time of all activities. Determine the expected project completion time? (8 marks) (b) Determine the slack times for those non-critical activities? (2 marks) (c) What is the total cost of the project if it is completed at the time that calculated from part (a)? (2 marks) (d) Suppose that the company has been given only 13 weeks (instead of 17 weeks) to install the new pollution control equipment or face a court-ordered shutdown. How you would shorten the project completion time cost-effectively in order to prevent shutdown? (6 marks)
