Week 2 | Whistler Ski Resort (Individual)

Refer to the Whistler Ski Resort project (Chapter 6). Read the project description (more than once!), then prepare/provide the following deliverables:

1. Project Schedule along with the Ganttchart andproject network in MS Project.

2. Critical path.

3. Total project duration.

It may be helpful to add columns in the Project file that show network computation process information: Early Start, Early Finish, Late Start, Late Finish, Total Slack

Using April 1, 2024as the project start date, can the Ski Resort complete the project by October 1, 2024?

The following MS Project file includes a list of project tasks. Note that these activities are not necessarily listed in the most efficient sequence. You will need to read the case carefully, more than once, then using the information in the case, develop the most efficient schedule possible. Read the project description carefully. A key to a correct response is in having the correct predecessors and successors to anything that could be construed to be an activity. It is highly recommended to create sub-projects and organize activities under the sub-projects. An example of a sub-project would be Procure Long Lead-Time Materials, Construct Day Lodge, Construct Ski Lift, and etc.

Unfortunately, due to the short summer season, the complex will have to be built in stages. The rst stage [year 1) will contain a day lodge, chair lift, rope tow, generator house (for electricity), and parking lot designed to accommodate 400 cars and 30 buses. The second and third stages will include a hotel, an ice rink, a pool, shops, two additional chair lifts, and other attractions. The board has decided that stage one should begin no later than April 1 and be completed by October 1, in time for the next skiing season. You have been assigned the task of project manager, and it is your job to coordinate the ordering of materials and construction activities to ensure the proj ect's completion by the required date. After looking into the possible sources of materials, you are confronted with the following time estimates. Materials for the chair lift and rope tow will take 30 days and 12 days, respectively, to arrive once the order is submitted. Lumber for the day lodge, generator hut, and foundations will take 9 days to arrive. The electrical and plumbing materials for the day lodge will take 12 days to arrive. The generator will take 12 days to arrive. Before actual construction can begin on the various facilities, a road to the site must be built; this will take 6 days. As soon as the road is in, clearing can begin concurrently on the sites of the day lodge, generator house, chair lift, and rope tow. It is estimated that the clearing task at each site will take 6 days, 3 days, 36 days, and 6 days, respectively. The clearing of the main ski slopes can begin after the area for the chair Lift has been cleared: this will take 84 days. The foundation for the day lodge will take 12 days to complete. Construction of the main framework will take an additional 18 days. After the framework is completed, electrical wiring and plumbing can be installed concurrently. These should take 24 and 30 W days, respectively. Finally, the finishing construction on the day lodge can begin: this will take 36 days. Installation of the chair lift towers (67 days) can begin once the site is cleared, lumber delivered, and foundation completed (6 days). Also, when the chair lift site has been cleared, construction of a permanent road to the upper towers can be started; this will take 24 days. While the towers are being installed, the electric motor to drive the chair lift can be installed: the motor can be installed in 24 days. Once the towers are completed and the motor installed, it will take 3 days to install the cable and an additional 12 days to install the chairs. Installation of the towers for the rope tow can begin once the site is cleared and the foundation is built and poured; it takes 4 days to build the foundation, pour the concrete, and let it cure and 20 days to install the towers for the rope tow. While the towers are being erected, installation of the electric motor to drive the rope tow can begin; this activity will take 24 days. After the towers and motor are installed, the rope tow can be strung in 1 day. The parking lot can be cleared once the rope tow is finished; this task will take 18 days. The foundation for the generator house can begin at the same time as the foundation for the lodge; this will take 6 days. The main framework for the generator house can begin once the foundation is completed; framing will take 12 days. After the house is framed, the diesel generator can be installed in 18 days. Finishing construction on the generator house can now begin and will take 12 more days
