Explain the significance of Present Service Index (PSI) with the help of a diagram.

Refer back to Chapter 7 In the real world, a limited number of days can be taken out of the schedule before it becomes impractical to try to shorten the schedule further. Though it is impractical to take the exercise to the theoretical limit of shortening, there is a theoretical limit that prevents any further shortening of the project. What defines this theoretical limit, and what conditions exist in the schedule when this limit is reached?

A particular project is scheduled to complete in Week 50 at a budgeted cost of $150,000. As of Week 30, an earned value chart is prepared to present the project progress as below: Status Date 160- 140 PV 120 100 80 AC 60 40- 20 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Weeks 1. Calculate schedule, cost and time variances, as well as schedule and cost performance indices for Week 30. Then use this information to comment on the project progress at Week 30 (status date). 2. Based on the performance at Week 30, estimate the final project cost (EAC). Will the final project cost be higher or lower than the budgeted cost, and by how much? Also estimate the revised project completion date. Will the project complete sooner or later than the planned completion date, and by how many weeks? 000.S

Question #5: In the real world, a limited number of days can be taken out of the schedule before it becomes impractical to try to shorten the schedule further.

The project budgeting process involves two steps. The first step is to determine the total budgeted cost (TBC), which is the aggregate amount of the estimated costs of all the specific activities to perform and complete a work package or the project. Review the below Budgeted Cost table for the five working days per activity and calculate the cumulative total cost (CTC) per each of the five  days.

1. A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $1,000 for each of the next 4 years, and then remain constant for the following 5 years; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1-10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm's MARR is 10% per year, what is the present worth of the project? Is it a sound investment opportunity? 2. A toll bridge across the Mississippi River is being considered as a replacement for the current 1-40 bridge linking Tennessee to Arkansas. Because this bridge, if approved, will become a part of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, the B-C ratio method must be applied in the evaluation. Investment costs of the structure are estimated to be $17,500,000 and $325,000 per year in operating and maintenance costs are anticipated. In addition, the bridge…

4. Project managers have many resources that are not directly under their control, such as the designer and the owner. Provide at least 5 bulleted points describing in detail how project managers can manage (influence) resources outside of their control or above them in the contractual hierarchy. 5. For the following simple seven-activity project, develop a precedence network, calculate all relevant characteristics of each activity (ES, EF, LS, LF, TF), and calculate the project duration. Then draw a time-scaled network and under it a labor resource histogram for the ES. Do the same for the LS. In both cases, use the maximum allowable number of workers. Make adjustments to the noncritical activities, within the constraints of the ES and LF and the maximum and minimum workers allowed to provide what you feel is the best labor distribution. Please use Table B (Table B.pdf) Lastly, Explain in detail what do you feel is the biggest problem with the ES and LS configurations, and how has…
