1) SCC is constructing a 15,000 seat stadium for Jamestown Community College with a deadline of August 26th, 2017 and a projected net income of $450,000. 2) Analysis of alternatives found expediting the pouring of the seat gallery supports (Task H) decreased the project duration and increased net income the most. 3) The recommendation is for SCC to expedite Task H, cutting the duration from 10 to 6 weeks and incurring the $22,000 charge, as it provided the best outcome with the highest probability of facing a strike or harsh winter during construction.

Framework Analysis Conclusions Recommendations
Background
Background
• Constraints:
• August 26th, 2017 deadline
• Resource allocation
• Penalties
• Potential Risks:
• Approximately 10-week strike
• Harsh winter:
• Charge for pouring concrete

5. 5
Framework Analysis Conclusions Recommendations
Assumptions
Project:
• Project start date: June 6th, 2016
• No work on weekends
• No overtime
• Equipment and materials are out of scope
• Winter months: December, January & February

6. 6
Framework Analysis Conclusions Recommendations
Assumptions (con’t)
Construction:
• Footings require three weeks to cure
• Work that follows footings cannot begin until curing is complete
• Site preparation and foundation includes staging areas and traffic flow
redirection
• When forecasted temperatures are higher than 90 degrees, workers will
utilize early mornings for heat sensitive activities
• “Filling of the field” is assumed to be activity C, build field
• Tasks can pause midway through duration and resume at a later time

7. 7
Framework Analysis Conclusions Recommendations
Assumptions (con’t)
Employees:
• 67% of employees laid off during winter
• 15 employees during December, January and February, 30 for other months
• 5 employees utilized for management
• SCC hires unionized employees
• Strike begins when contract expires
Costs
• Projected net income of project: $450,000
• Indirect cost applied to alternate scenarios based off of do nothing benchmark
• Federal Holidays are insignificant

Conclusions
• 76% chance of a strike or a harsh
winter
• Expediting H decreases duration and
increases net income
• Incur the $22,000 charge
• Cut task duration from 10 to 6 weeks
• Best alternative:
• No obstacles
• Cold winter
