Critical Path Method Introduction Once you have the network diagrams for the activities, as well as the activity duration estimates, you can begin scheduling the project. The critical path method (CPM) is one of the key techniques for developing a project schedule. In a schedule network diagram, the critical path is the longest full path linking activities that must be performed in sequence. It's important to identify this path, because if one of its activities is delayed, the end date of your project is delayed too. CPM provides a way to calculate four time boundaries: · the early start date, which is the earliest possible start date for each activity to begin · the early finish date, which is the earliest date each activity can end · the latest start date, which is the latest possible time for each activity to begin · the latest finish date, which is the latest date each activity can end CPM involves completing three steps: 1. performing a forward pass through the network diagram 2. performing a backward pass to check your initial results 3. calculating the float for each activity to determine the critical path The forward pass The first step in CPM is performing a forward pass through the schedule network diagram so you can establish the early start and finish dates for each activity. This is done so that resources, such as project team members and equipment, can be allocated as soon as possible. Allocating resources assists in determining project expenditure and therefore establishing the project budget. When performing a forward pass, you begin with the first activity in the network diagram and move forward. You 1. record the earliest date the first activity can start 2. add the duration of this activity to the early start date 3. subtract one day from the result Some project managers find it useful to record activities' start and finish times in the network diagram. The early start is usually filled in on the top left corner of each activity block, with the early finish date shown in the right corner. The backward pass The second step in determining the critical path for a project is to perform a backward pass through the schedule network diagram. You perform the backward pass to establish the latest start and finish dates for the project to remain on schedule. In a backward pass, you start at the end of the project and work back, subtracting the estimated duration of each preceding activity. To begin the backward pass, the late finish date will either be a hard date that's been set or the early finish date of the last activity in the project. An example of a hard date may be a deadline that determines the project's end date. To calculate the late start date, you 1. subtract the duration of the last activity from its late finish date 2. add one day because the last day of the project is included as a working day As you work backward through the schedule network diagram, the late finish date will fall on the working day preceding the lat.

ACCT 241 - 04: Principles of Managerial Accounting Fall 2014 Semester Project: Dream Big, Inc. Budget Project Objectives: Students will prepare a Comprehensive Master Budget and a Budgeted Income Statement for Dream Big, Inc. for the second quarter ending June 30. This includes: · Sales Budget; · Production Budget; · Raw Materials Purchases Budget; · Direct Labor Budget; · Manufacturing Overhead Cost Budget; · Budgeted Cost of Goods Sold; · Selling and Administrative Expenses Budget; · Cash Receipts Budget; · Cash Disbursements Budget; · Cash Budget; and · Budgeted Income Statement. Students will also perform a CVP analysis to determine the break-even point and complete a sensitivity analysis to a sales price change and a change in the cost of materials and labor. Project Requirements: I. (30 points) Complete the Dream Big, Inc. Case on an individual basis using the Excel template found in the Project Folder on Blackboard. Enter your answer in the Worksheet tab labeled “Part I Answer.” Use formulas in the cells for calculations (i.e., do not type in a total that you have determined with your calculator.) II. (10 points) Based on the base case, perform a CVP Analysis to determine the break-even point in units and sales dollars, margin of safety, and operating leverage factor for Dream Big, Inc. for the Quarter Ended June 30. You must show all calculations. Enter your response on the Project Excel file in theWorksheet tab labeled “Part II Answer.” III. ( 10 points) Determine Sales Revenue & Net Income for the 3-month period ending June 30, and the ending Cash Balance as of June 30 assuming the unit Sales Price is expected to increase (effective April 1) to $22, and the labor rate is expected to increase to $11 per hour (also effective April 1). Reconcile the changes. To solve this, use the Worksheets provided in the Project Excel file (i.e., the worksheet tabs titled “If SP = $22,” “If DL = $11,” “If SP =$22; and DL = $11”). In each Worksheet, start with the “Base Case” data (what you entered as “Part I Answer”) and then change the budget and/or financial statement data affected by the change to the Sales Price and/or the change to the Direct Labor costs. For example, changing the unit sale price will cause changes to the sales budget, cash receipts budget, and summary cash budget… this will lead to a new Net Income and a new June 30 ending Cash Balance. With changes to Sales and/or Labor costs, items such as inventory values will also change. Complete the chart found on the Project Excel filein theWorksheet labeled “Part III Answer.” Note: If you have used formulas for all calculations in the Excel spreadsheet, answering this question will be straightforward. When completing the Excel Worksheets, check your work and make sure that the data in your schedules foots (that is, adds up) and cross-foots (that is, adds across) in an accurate and meaningful way. Points will be deducted i.

The resources are added to these activities to reduce the slack that may originate if the project is accomplished based on planned resources only. An earned value analysis has to be performed to keep track of a project’s performance. This type of assessment gives a general review about the performance of a project along the chosen course. It has been noted that after adding more resources for the achievement of the ventures successfully, the slack time has been decreased and the work is going on faster than planned. Earned value management is employed in different forms to determine the performance of the projects. By using this technique, the cost, schedule and, scope of the project are integrated that in turn aids the team of project administration to calculate and evaluate fulfillment and growth of the plan (Usmani, n.d.). The measurements of earned value are utilized by all managers of the projects. There are three main components of earned value management which are • Actual cost • Earned value • Planned value Planned value It is the value of a task to be accomplished in a specified time. Overall planned value is known as ‘Budget at completion.’ Planned value also acts as a project’s baseline (Usmani, n.d.). Actual cost Actual cost denotes the quantity of money which is i.

CP3 Start Data Directions General assignment: For CP3 you will set your CP2 project and document deliverable aside and start fresh. This is a new project. Your task is to use this document and the data provided to create a project file using Microsoft Project. The data below will establish a project budget and schedule baseline with Budget = $4,449,920.00 and a highly desired completion date of 12/17/08. Next we will create a scenario for a time that is 'out in the future' here. We are fast forwarding the project and loading some fictional information to create a scenario for you to analyze using Earned Value and then provide course corrections to the project. The project at this future date shows that our project is not performing very well. However, you are given the opportunity to make some changes to the project to still complete it on the desired date of 12/17/08. These directions help you to input and establish a baseline project plan. You should check the plan to see that it agrees with the budget and completion date given above before proceeding. Once that plan is set we will then check the project status as of 10/1/08. We will set the Gantt to represent the anticipated 50% completion 'date' of 10/1/08. This is the date where the project 'should be' 50% complete. You do NOT set the project to 50% complete; you set it to 40%. These are two different things and these 2 parameters set up the scenario for you to generate EV data and tell me about how the project is doing. Details of how to set these will be give later in these directions.. Basic Setup: First, change the project start date to Mon 4/14/08. Next are provided some detailed steps to help you with the Microsoft Project data input and then in progress monitoring and analysis. The next step is to look at the options that are set for your Microsoft Project software. If you have not changed them before they will need some adjustments. To make your reports easier to read you need to eliminate the display of cents in your cost numbers. Go to File – Options – Display – Decimal Digits and change this to “0”. Set the default to have new tasks “Auto Scheduled”. The Microsoft Project default is manual and we do not want that for this project. Getting started with our project, we will input the initial project plan. Check to be sure the project start date is Mon 4/14/08.Use the following data to setup your baseline project file. Adjust indenting to match WBS coding provided. In MSP right mouse click the header row and insert a WBS Column as shown. Do not add durations or dates for the Summary Tasks because these will populate for you when you enter the lower task information. The others should automatically generate. All start and finish dates will be generated automatically. Hint: You can cut and paste the basic task names, durations, and predecessor data into Microsoft Project. You will have to indent the lower sub tasks as you enter the data so that this will work. Do not p.

PMGT 510 Principles of Project Management Group Assignment 9 Part1 Staffing management is much the same as it sounds; it is an approach to deal with the staff on a team or project. The staffing management plan will state when work force will be dropped or added to the project or when they have finished their bit if they will be moved to another level of the project, or if their business is finished. A decent instrument to demonstrate this management plan is to utilize an asset histogram. This will outwardly put the staffing management intend to utilize. An obligation task network would be a decent method to appear and clear up the jobs and duties regarding errands expected to finish the project. When performing resource leveling, it is helpful for the project manager to consult both the Critical path schedule and resource histogram. The two techniques for compressing a schedule are: First schedule compression approach is Fast Tracking. In fast-tracking schedule compression system, basic way exercises are performed in parallel rather than arrangement. This is conceivable just the exercises are not in required reliance. Since, if two exercises are relying upon one another essentially, you can't do these two exercises in parallel. For example, you can't begin testing of a screen before finishing advancement. If basic way exercises are relying upon one another due to asset reliance or if there is an optional reliance, you can fast track those exercises to finish remaining exercises faster. Second schedule compression system is crashing. In crashing schedule compression strategy, there is an exchange off among expense and schedule. On the off chance that the extension is the equivalent and project is behind schedule, another alternative for compacting the schedule is putting additional assets on residual exercises of the project. In such a case that it is conceivable to appoint more than one asset on an action, movement span will diminish individually. This will total the project faster. In any case, since these additional assets were not in the underlying arrangement, there will be an extra expense if crashing is utilized for schedule compression. When crashing a project schedule, describe the two criteria that are considered when considering which activities will be sped up. First criteria: Since the critical path indicates the completion time, so choose the right activities for the critical path and is very important. Second criteria: Some activities can speed up and some cannot, so knowing which activates are worth speed up this can minimize the daily cost and the overall spending. Part 2: Project network/schedule -scheduling and compressing a schedule (30 points) You’ve been asked to manage a project that includes conducting a two-week (10 working days) computer training class. Using the information in Table below, complete the following: Activity Immediate Predecessor Normal Time (days) Normal Cost Crashed Time (days) Crash ...

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 1 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SFK ORGANIZATION 6 Problem Identification and Recommendation for SFK Organization Student’s Name Institution Date Introduction and problem statement From the case, it is apparent that SFK-NY is one of the non-profit organization that is striving a lot to ensure that its mission of empowering the human spirit in every child is achieved. The case indicates that there is a huge gap in the society concerning the human spirit and hence SFK-NY has done its best to fill this gap. However, a closer look at the case reveals that the SFK-NY has not yet achieved its goal or rather its missions and vision. The vision statement for the organization is “One World, Every Child” (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). According to the case, it is stated that the mission of ensuring that the vision “ One World, Every Child” is achieved would only be complete when every child and young adult in the target region has participated in the SFK-YK program (Vallas and Sherman, 2012). This is because for all the children to learn he tools to help them make wise choices that provide them with certainty, happiness, concern for the well-being of others, the organization needs to invest a lot not only in employing personnel but also in expanding their project worldwide. Expanding the program worldwide would need an enormous amount of money. Given that the SFK-YK is a non-profit organization, it means that it does not get capital from the services they offer. This is because they do not charge the beneficiaries for the services they get. The organization, according to the case, depends on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, groups, clubs, and organization as well as their own fundraising from special events. Despite the fact that the organization gets a lot of assistance from well-wishers and clubs, the organizational Advisory Board and the director argue that their major concern is that SFK is not generating as much revenue through fundraising to support the current operation. They are also concerned that the organization is gaining a lot of popularity and that because of this, it is likely that it may experience massive growth. The board is also claiming that the cost for every student is approximately $300 per program, which is too much because every student needs to finish level 1,2 and even 3 depending on the availability of funding. This essay will support why lack of finance is the major strategic obstacle to the SFK-YK Program. Body and discussion One way in which an organization can achieve its strategic goal is by ensuring that all the factors of production are available and that they are put in proper use. Similarly, SFK-YK, despite offering the best and most popular services, must ensure that the factors of production are in place and that they are being utilized accordingly. Closer look at the case reveals that capital and resour.

Problem Set #2 SCOR470 Fall 2015 Topics: Soil water potential, unit conversions, soil water content Honor code opportunity- It is required that the work you are turning in is your effort. In addition, you may wish to sign the honor code statement. Declining to sign this statement will not count against you. "I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance." Signature 1. Unit conversions a. You are curious about the matric potential of an air-dried soil. This depends on the relative humidity of the air of course but you find a value of -2.20 x 105 J/Kg in a journal article. Express this in MPa and m. (Note that the permanent wilting point for plants is typically assumed to be -1.5 MPa.) b. You need a value for the osmotic pressure of maple tree sap and find a table in a reliable older reference stating 2.23 x 106 erg/cm3. Convert this to m, ft., and Pa. c. Your grandfather’s WWII submarine could withstand about 1.5 MPa of water pressure. Assuming a saltwater density of 1.03 g/cm3, calculate the crush-depth of the submarine in m and ft. 2. a. Calculate the energy/volume (in J/m3) of water a plant root must overcome to withdraw water laterally from a soil with a matric potential of -15000 cm with an EC of 8 dS/m. b. Assuming 15 oC, calculate the relative humidity in the soil air for the soil in part (a). Note that this soil is near the wilting point for many plants. Helpful information: The EC, electrical conductivity, is a measure of the total dissolved salts in a system. For a wide range of soils, the following empirical relationship relates the EC of the soil solution to the osmotic pressure (Π) of the solution; Π(bars)= 0.36 x EC (dS/m). The EC unit is decisiemen per meter. 3. Consider a soil profile above a shallow water table: clay loam water table loamy sand loam silt loam 0.40 m 0.30 m 0.15 m 0.20 m Soil surface Suppose the θ(h) in this profile is described by the Brooks-Corey formulation: θ(h) = θS for |h| ≤ |he| θ(h) = (θS -θr)[(he/h) λ] + θr for |h| > |he| Using the parameters in the following table, calculate and plot the equilibrium water content profile, θ(z), from the soil surface to the water table. 4. The following system is at equilibrium. Determine each component of the total soil water potential in energy/volume and energy/weight at the points indicated (A, B, …). If a component is zero, state why.

Problem description The Jim Thornton Coffee House chain is planning expansion into Calgary. It has selected many possible sites for new coffee houses. The possible sites are joined by roads that form a spanning tree. To eliminate competition with itself, the company has determined that it should not choose two sites that are adjacent in this tree. From its market evaluation, the company has also determined the expected profit per year for each site. Your job is to determine what sites Jim Thornton should choose for his coffee houses. a. Define this problem precisely, by defining the required Input and the required Output. Use mathematical notation. b. Write a recursive equation for the function that maximizes the profit per year. Include a short argument that your equation is correct. c. Write an efficient algorithm that computes the maximum profit per year, and also computes the sites that should be chosen. Your algorithm should run in time that is polynomial in the input size. d. What is the asymptotic running time of your algorithm? Defend your answer. Your algorithm and proofs should be precise and concise (as well, of course, as correct.) Elegance of your solution counts. 2 CPSC 413 — Winter, 2013 Home Work Exercise #8 March 16, 2013 1. Exercise 1 Chapter 6, page 312 of the textbook. Answer: (a) A counterexample is given in Figure 1. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 8. However, the maximum total weight is 10 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 5 58 Figure 1: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(a) (b) A counterexample is given in Figure 2. The given algorithm finds an independent set of weight 11. However, the maximum total weight is 19 by adding the nodes at two ends to the independent set. 10 12 9 Figure 2: A counterexample to the algorithm of 1(b) (c) Input: An array A = (a1, . . . , an) of n integers. (I use “array” rather than “set” here because the elements in a set do not have the notion of order.) Output: A set S = {aα1, . . . , aαm} ⊆ A, which satisfies (1) m∑ i=1 aαi is maximum; (2) ∀i ∈ {1, . . . , m}, ̸ ∃j ∈ {1, . . . , m} s.t. |αi − αj| = 1. Optimization function. Indset[i] denotes the maximum independent set of an array with i positive integers (a1, . . . , ai). Let OPT [i] denote the total weight of Indset[i]. The optimization function is OPT [0] = 0, OPT [1] = max{0, a1}, OPT [i] = { OPT [i − 1] if OPT [i − 1] ≥ OPT [i − 2] + ai OPT [i − 2] + ai otherwise Correctness of the optimization function. It is trivial if n = 0 or 1. When n ≥ 2, there are two cases to be considered. Case 1: Indset[n] includes an. Then Indset[n] must not include an−1. And Indset[n]−{an} must be a maximum independent set of (a1, . . . , an−2). This can be easily verified by a replacement argument. If the statement is not true, then the total weight of Indset[n] − {an} is less than OPT [n − 2]. Then Indset[n − 2] ∪ {an} has total weight larger than Indset[n] does, and this co.

The appraisal process helps management assess this contribution as well as identify areas that need improvement. As a formal process, appraisal is a part of a performance system designed to manage an organizations human resources. The growing complexity of customer, employee and management relationships requires a new leadership paradigm. This is certainly true in today’s highly competitive market place where a premium is placed on the development of human capital. Management of today’s workforce has been made more difficult by the implementation of the contemporary business practices such as downsizing, reengineering, Total Quality Management (TQM), employee empowerment and team performance systems. These changes have altered the dynamics of the traditional management and employee relationships. The increase in layoffs globally has placed organizations in a more complicated position to manage their workforces. Business organizations have continued to develop sophisticated performance management systems to manage their human resources and to identify leaders to sustain growth of the company (Kusluvan, 2003). Employee performance can be improved in many ways. E.

Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 1 Note: All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to depict any actual person or business. Knowing that mergers may require a dramatic change in company culture, you realize that you need to meet with the human resources (HR) and leadership teams because they will play important roles in the merger. The leadership team will drive the change, and the HR team will be charged with managing the change. You have scheduled a meeting with Steve Maine, your vice president at ALTAP consulting, to consult with him on this project. “Thanks for meeting me today, Steve,” you begin. “I need to talk through some of the issues before meeting with the HR and leadership teams at UWEAR and PALEDENIM. The merger is going well, but it is becoming apparent that there are some significant change issues that need to be addressed.” “I’ve heard good things about your work on this project,” Steve answers. “I’m sure you have it under control, but I’ll be happy to help where I can.” “We are dealing with the issues of joining together two very disparate companies,” you explain. “On the one hand, UWEAR is public and has 100 employees; on the other hand, PALEDENIM is private with only 15 employees. They basically provide the same type of service, but they are completely different businesses in how they operate inside and outside of the company.” You continue, “Yes, and both the employees and managers of each company have different philosophies and expectations. PALEDENIM employees and managers have a kind of ‘one-for-all and all-for-one’ attitude. They all chip in to get the job done. The UWEAR employees and managers look at things differently. They’re more apt to do their jobs, get them done, and go home without consideration for what else the rest of the team needs to complete.” “That is definitely a culture issue,” Steve agrees. “In fact, that is the classic definition of a culture issue. I’m sure they’re also dealing with the typical power struggles. I bet everyone is worried about whether their department will be headed by a UWEAR manager or a PALEDENIM manager.” Problem B: Regulatory Compliance 2 “Exactly,” you say. “I know the intention of the merger is to benefit both companies, but there are unintended consequences as well. We need to do whatever we can to help the employees of both companies get through this with the fewest glitches possible.” Analysis Assessing poverty–deforestation links: Evidence from Swat, Pakistan Shaheen Rafi Khan a, Shahrukh Rafi Khan b,⁎ a Sustainable Development Policy Institute, P.

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism. Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1. You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic. Some suggestive options: 1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience. 2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing? 3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today? 4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth. 5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations. Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length. Include outside critical sources. MLA documentation .

How are characters formed as the result of other characters’ direct influence? How might the text mirror our own experiences of identity formation? Perhaps the text suggests that we can never be autonomous individuals due to the ease by which we are influenced by others. Do you agree or disagree with this claim? Be sure to support your position with concrete examples; these examples may come from your personal experience and observations, but you should also use the main text of The Tempest as the basis for each of your claims.

Erving Goffman is one of the most important sociological thinkers in modern sociology.
