Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the AON network and completed spreadsheet, the activity with the longest duration is A-F-G with a duration of 18 days. To shorten the overall completion time, we need to focus on this critical path. The best choice for shortening activity completion time is crashing, which means to shorten the duration by adding more resources or cost. In this case, we can shorten the duration of activity A-F-G from 18 days to 16 days by adding more resources, which will reduce the overall completion time from 22 days to 20 days. Therefore, the best choice is to crash activity A-F-G.
