McGee Carpet and Trim installs carpets in commercial offices. Andrea McGee has been very concerned with the amount of time it took to complete several recent jobs. Some of her workers are very unreliable. A list of activities and their optimistic completion time, the most likely completion time, and the pessimistic completion time (all in days) for a new contract are provided in a given table. Following are the activities that are required to install the carpets in the offices:

Activity 1: Measure office room dimensions
Activity 2: Estimate cost
Activity 3: Material requisition
Activity 4: Workforce requisition
Activity 5: Special tool requisition
Activity 6: Installation
Activity 7: Inspection and customer acceptance

Activity 2 starts immediately after Activity 1. Activity 3, Activity 4, and Activity 5 start concurrently after Activity 2. Activity 6 does not start until after Activity 3, Activity 4, and Activity 5 are completed. The carpet installation project is complete after Activity 7 is completed. If OT = Optimistic Time, MT = Most Likely Time, and PT = Pessimistic Time, use a Program Evaluation Review Estimate (PERT) to compute the statistical time for each activity, as in the following table:

Activities	OT	MT	PT
Activity 1	4	6	14
Activity 2	5	12	16
Activity 3	7	15	23
Activity 4	13	16	28
Activity 5	17	20	35
Activity 6	20	32	50
Activity 7	5	6	13

You must also do the following:

Determine the expected completion time and the variance for each activity

Determine the total project completion time and the critical path for the project

Determine Early Start (ES), Early Finish (EF), Late Start (LS), and slack for each activity

What is the probability that McGee Carpet and Trim will finish the project in 40 days or less?

Define project management and the necessary requirements.
