The critical path for the project is defined as the arrangement of errands with the longest continuous duration (no slack) (Heizer & Render, 2001).The critical path for the project is A-B-D-E-F-G-O. The duration time for the project is 34 weeks.

How would you crash the project (which activities would you crash) to keep the project on schedule and achieve the original duration, if Activity B actually takes 5 weeks instead ...
