Situation. The project was on or ahead of schedule during May and June. However, Tropical Storm Cody sat off the coast, and the jobsite was shut down because of wind, lightning, and/or rain for the entire first two weeks of July. We were fortunate that lintel and block inspection passed on June 28. Today is Friday, July 12. It is too wet to work until Monday, but you have ordered the materials for the roof and the framing, and all materials will be delivered on Sunday. You've probably heard of \"saving up for a rainy day.\" Well, in the home building business, we 'save up to recover from rain delays\". In the course materials, there is an Excel workbook that contains the budgeted cost, the planned value, the percent complete, and the earned value that your team has estimated as of July 12. The sheet has subtotals and formulas for PV, EV, AC, and BAC. Unfortunately, the other formulas are missing, and you have to recalculate them. Your supervisor has asked you and your project management team to develop a recovery plan to start the drywall work on time by the end of July. That gives you two weeks to do essentially four weeks of work. The building department has agreed to inspect the day you call in for an inspection as long as you pay the $200 overtime fee per inspection. For weather delays, your company's policy is to always pay this additional inspection cost and costs for exira inspections out of general company overhead so as not to impact your project budget. To make up for the weather delay, you've talked with the structural engineer regarding the framing inspection that is required before windows can be installed. (The building department requires that all structural walls be completed before any windows are installed).You also talked to the building officials about installing the windows after the inspection of the load bearing wall, and they agreed. You don't need to complete all of the framing, just the interior load bearing wall shown in Figure 1. You realize that your crew can erect this in a 12-hour day. The building department will have to inspect this wall before the windows are installed, but they agreed to do that at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, so that allows you to install windows all day Tuesday. The cost for the additional inspection will be paid out of company overhead and not charged to your project. The sheeting can be started when half of the trusses are installed, but it will still take one day after the trusses are installed for the sheeting to be installed. The inspector has agreed to be there first thing in the morning the next day after the sheeting is completed. You can also shorten the duration for framing, trusses, sheeting, windows, and roofing by working your crews on overtime pay. You can get up to 12 hours labor per day from your crews, and they like the overtime pay! Your foreman estimated 48 hours total for the framing crew to do all of the framing. He estimated 32 hours for the trusses. The time for the roofing is 80 hours with one roofing crew. The windows are 56 hours for one crew. You can also pay these crews overtime for 4 hours per work day and 12 hours on Saturday at a cost of $45 additional per hour. (The straight time hourly wages are included in the budget.) If needed, your crews can work Sunday at double time, which would cost an additional $90 per hour. (See the Crew Cost spreadsheet for calculations.) One of your assistants started a spreadsheet in the budget workbook called \"Schedule Compression\" to help develop the cost for the new schedule. She didn't get it finished before she went into labor and she will be out for the next 12 weeks. Assignment: You will complete the second stage of your Group ProjectThe Control Schedule process. Work with your group to prepare a recovery plan that can be used to bring the project back on schedule. Prepare a report to your supervisor that provides a detailed description of which tasks you will crash and/or fast track, the additional cost for crashing and/or fast-tracking, the revised activity start and end dates, and any other issues you think should be reported. Also, explain how crashing and fast tracking will shorten the schedule. Demonstrate your knowledge of the core value of responsible stewardship by minimizing the cost for overtime pay
