Question 1 of2
You work for a Company. You are the project leader in developing a 1 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Machine (MRI) for the
healthcare system. It will be a research machine as1 Tesla is typically too small for modern MRIs. Among the project team it is
referred to as the “rabbit blaster” as it generally will be taking images of small animals rather than people. The network
information for this project is listed below. Draw the network diagram and state which node is the most sensitive.

Question 2 of2
You have prepared the following schedule for a project in which the key resource is a microscope. The schedule is contingent
upon having 3 microscopes. You receive a call from a partner, Brooker, who desperately needs one ofthe microscopes for his
project. You tell Brooker you would be willing to let him have the microscope ifyou are able to complete your project in 11
months.
Develop a resource schedule in the loading chart that follows to see if it is possible to complete the project in 11 months with
only two microscopes. Be sure to record the order in which you schedule the activities based upon applying the 5 acceptable
resource leveling starting points as below:
Rules ofThumb when solving resource leveling problems
1-Activities with the smallest amount of slack.
2-Activities with the smallest duration.
3-Activities with the lowest activity identification number (e. g, those that start earliest in the WBS).
a-Activities with the most successor tasks.
S-Activities requiring the most resources.
