The document outlines a project plan to construct an administrative building for the Vancouver Olympic Committee (VANCOC) in Whistler, including:
1) A work breakdown structure of the key tasks such as preparing proposals, recruiting staff, constructing the building, ordering furniture and systems, and occupying the building.
2) A network diagram showing the sequence and duration of tasks, with the critical path being preparation through interior completion taking 63 weeks.
3) Details on crashing the schedule by reducing task durations but increasing costs, with the shortest possible project duration being 46 weeks at a crashing cost of $346,000.

Integrating BIM and LEAN for Project Delivery - Construction of a Major Hospi...CCT International
Webinar presented by Mr. Zuhair Haddad, CCT's Chairman for the Lean Construction Institute on 1 September 2016.
Hospitals are ecosystems of diverse functions: laboratories, imaging units, ERs, surgery and operating rooms, inpatient quarters, etc. This makes building them one of the most complex tasks, specifically room completion systems as each set of rooms have their own furnishing and finishing requirements. This entails the existence of several number of trades, where coordination grows exponentially in importance. King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan is a prime example with fast track requirements (3 years delivery) which increase the complexity further.
Join in this webinar Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), a leading global construction contractor who will share the above case study where BIM, advanced work packaging and Lean were implemented in an integrated approach to manage the finishing activities for the hospital. The presenter will share some of key drivers for the success of this implementation:
• BIM authoring requirements to suit project controls
• Leveraging BIM to manage schedule, cost, sub-contractors, and material delivery.
• Installation Work Packages (IWPs) creation
• IWPs management using Lean approach
• Collaboration using BIM to support Lean processes
• Lessons learned.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

6. 8. Complete Project
This project cannot be completed by the 1st day of January in 2015.
9. Activity Delay
The appropriate solution in this case, is to crash activity number 11. This will offset the wasted two weeks in getting the
permits necessary.
Activity 11 is on the critical path and more also is the cheapest among activities on the critical path hence can be crashed at
exactly two weeks; furthermore, the project will be completed on the normal 63 weeks.
Activity 1, 2,3 cannot be crash because they are completed already.
10. Project Triangle
Looking at the crashing activities, you can see that the accumulative cost of the project increases due to crashing cost.
Furthermore, the project could be finish at the normal time, if the project is now not as urgent hence due date could be
extended then, there would be no crashing cost. Therefore the cost of the overall project will decrease and more time could be
spent on quality assurance. Schedule
Cost Scope
Project extension can as well lead to increase in some indirect cost such as managing cost, labor cost.
