Project Essay
Form the schedule given on the project, the project should be completed in March 12th 2017. This time is way past the deadline the project managers had estimated the project would take which according to them was supposed to be on until March 20th of the year 2014. However, the critical path of the project is during the installation of seats which will take a lot of das than any other activity that is supposed to be done in the build up to the construction of the project. This activity is supposed to take 140 days which comprises of the leading number of days that an activity is likely to take based on the schedule of the whole process that the team released prior to the start of the construction project.
Based on the days that are given on the project, the activities that have the highest level of slack include;
a) Clearance of stadium site.
b) Demolition of building.
c) Pouring of main concrete bowl
d) Pouring of main concourse.
e) Installation of lights.
f) Construction of roof
g) Inspection.
If the time used to construct the roof of the stadium, as well as time used to install seats and the time used to pour main concrete bowl and main concourse are reduced, they could have major impact on the amount of days that the entire project would take. They would greatly reduce the amount of time that the entire project would take which is a much welcomed idea. To be able to complete the project, the additional activities that could be added to the project activities to make the project tasks complete include;
a) Conducting a search for the appropriate place to set up the stadium.
b) Location of a good site to set up the stadium.
c) Advertisement of the construction of the stadium to the public.
d) Hiring of labor and purchase of raw materials as well,
