Exercise 6

As part of the hospital reform, the boards of directors of 3 neighboring hospitals have jointly developed a plan to rationalize their operations.
activities. While maintaining the 3 existing sites, they decided to merge into a single entity called HOPITAL NORD. The reorganization of the units of
care and their management involves the interconnection of the computer networks of the 3 sites. Two of the 3 hospitals, designated H1 and H2, are already interconnected; you
participate in the study and implementation of the connection of the third hospital, designated H3. The evolution of the local network of the H3 site has been planned. The tasks
Necessary for the realization of this project, their durations as well as the preconditions that connect them are shown in the table below:

Task code Task designation Duration in days Previous tasks

Exercise 8

The company Dupont S.A., specialized in the study and composition of industrial units, has obtained the project management for the installation of a chemical plant.
L’analyse du projet a permis de distinguer 14 phases de travaux différents : maçonnerie, plomberie, électricité, conditionnement d’air, traitement des déchets,
installations and machine tests, etc. These works are designated by the letters A to N.
The company responsible for this installation has resources (own resources in specialized teams, machines... along with some subcontracting...
contractors) allowing the execution of work in parallel, subject to compliance with the order relationships shown in the following table. These relationships
are imposed by a set of technical constraints. Costs for each task are also determined taking into account the additional costs related to
possible shortenings.

Questions:

1. What is the minimum duration for completing this project? Indicate the sequence of tasks that determines this duration (critical path). You will use the
PERT network or a Gantt chart
2. Determine the total margin for each phase of the project
3. After calculating the cost slopes associated with the different tasks, proceed step by step to shorten the project.
4. It is estimated that the commissioning of the plant will have a profitability of 3 cost units. Determine the optimal value to assign to the shortening of the project.
