BPM305: You are One of Three Carpenters assigned to Complete a Small Construction: Project Scheduling and Control Assignment, SUSS, Singapore

Question 1

You are one of three carpenters assigned to complete a small construction project. Right before the start of the project, one of your fellow carpenters was hospitalized and will not be available to work on the project.

Apply resource scheduling technique to a resource-constrained schedule in the loading chart that follows, to see how long the project will take with only 2 carpenters. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities using scheduling heuristics.

Activities A, B, C, D, E, G, and H require 2 carpenters to complete. Activity F requires only 1 carpenter. No. splitting of activities is possible.

Compute the following:

(a) Resource distribution

(b) Minimum time in which the project can be finished

(c) Conditions under which the project can be finished in 15 days or the last days

Question 2

You are to demonstrate the understanding of Project Schedule and Control:
Based on the tabulation of the project program for a Project in Table Q2, compute the following:

(a) Weightage by Activity Name

(b) Provide justification on the basis used to compute the weightage

(c) Value of work done based on the progress information

(d) Compute in percentage the Overall Progress (to 2 decimal places)

(e) Weightage by Activity name after considering the variation

(f) Explain the rationale behind your response in 2(e)

(g) Value of work done after the variation, considering there is no change in the Progress

(h) Compute in percentage the Overall Progress after Variation (to 2 decimal places)
