17) Solve the following case study :
Milwaukee Paper Manufacturing had long delayed the expense of installing advanced
computerized air pollution control equipment in its facility. But when the board of
directors adopted a new proactive policy on sustainability, it did not just authorized the
budget for the state of art equipment. It directed the plant manager, Julie Ann Williams,
to complete the installation in time for the major announcement of the policy, on the
Earth Day, exactly 16 weeks away ! Under strict deadline from her bosses, William needs
to be sure that installation of the filtering system progresses smoothly on time. Given the
following information, develop a table showing activity precedence relationships and find
length of critical path.
Activity Description Immediate

Duration
(Days)
A Build internal component -- 3
B Modify roof and floor -- 5
C Construct collection stack A 3
D Pour concrete and install frame A, B 4
E Build high-temperature Burner C 6
F Install pollution control system C 4
G Install air pollution device D, E 6
