Abstract

The producer of a stage show society needs to use network planning as part of project management to ensure that 10 performances are scheduled well over the next four months. Students will have to construct a network diagram, identify the critical path, and address questions regarding activity crashing. What is particularly unique is that they will have to create a list from the data presented to them at a meeting with the assistant producer. (NOTE: This case has two teaching notes: Number 8A95D15 addresses class discussion and Number 5A95D15 uses a Microsoft Project solution file, which is available with this version of the teaching note, product 7A95D015.)
