Chapter 6. Integer Programming

A hospital is planning an $8 million addition to its existing facility. The architect has been asked toconsider the following design parameters: (1) There should be at least 10 and no more than 20 intensive care unit (ICU) rooms; (2) there should be at least 10 and no more than 20 cardiac care unit (CCU)rooms; (3) there should be no more than 50 double rooms; (4) there should be at least 35 single rooms; and (5) all patient rooms should fit inside the allotted 40,000-square-foot space (not including hallways). The following table summarizes the relevant room data

How many room of each type should the architect include in the new hospital design?

Chapter 7. Project Management

A plant engineering group needs to set up an assembly line to produce a new product. The table included describes the relationships between the activities that need to be completed for this product to be manufactured.

(a) Develop a project network for this problem.

(b) Determine the expected duration and variance for each activity.

(c) Determine the EST, EFT, LST, LFT,and slack for each activity. Also determine the total project completiontime and the critical path(s).

(d) Determine the probability that the project will be completed in less than 34 days.

(e) Determine the probability that the project will take more than 29 days.
