Answer to Question #156601 in Mechanical Engineering for Riaz Ahmad

Question

You decided to open your facility to produce VAP beds and now you are ready to bring in all equipment, labor force, machines, raw materials and so on to your factory. However, you have to determine the space requirements and all allowances for these production factors in order to design your layout efficiently. In deliverable 2, you had developed an operations chart by defining the operations with their associated times. As of today, the management revised all operations charts and defined your operations chart in the system, meaning there are processes, machines that are required for each process, prerequisites for each machine and number of people required. Now, it is time to use all the information you developed in order to solve the problems in the project in Deliverable 3.

1. Write your processes, their task times and their predecessors using prior information from Project Deliverable 2.

Answer 1

Scheduling in project management is the listing of activities, deliverables, and milestones within a project. A schedule also usually includes the planned start and finish date, duration, and resources assigned to each activity. Effective project scheduling is a critical component of successful time management.
