Given the following project: Act.          Preceding                    Crash Cost    &nbs

Given the following project:

Act.          Preceding                    Crash Cost              Maximum Crash               Normal Time                                            Activity                       (in million $)             Time (in months)               (in months)

A                     -                                   0                                  0                                  1        

B                     A                                 10                                2                                   3                     

C                     A                                  5                                 1                                   4                     

D                     B                                  6                                 1                                   3                     

E                      C                                 7                                  2                                  4                     

F                     D, E                                9                                 1                                      3

SLACK TIME = Late Starting Time – Early Starting Time OR Late Finish Time – Early Finish Time

To reduce the project time as much as possible given its characteristics, what activity or activities can be crashed?
