2. Can the project be completed by October 1 deadline?

3. Gannt chart with Entry Table showing start and finish of project and tasks in pdf format including the entire project with critical path highlighted with red bars.


Whistler Ski Resort Project (Stage 1) Project Context: Following the successful completion of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler, BC, Canada, and the fact that the number of skiing visitors to Whistler has been increasing at an exciting rate following the Olympics, the Whistler Ski Association has been considering the construction of another ski lodge and ski complex. The results of a detailed economic feasibility study completed by members of the staff in 2014 show that a winter resort complex near the base of Whistler Mountain could be very profitable venture. The area is accessible by car, bus, train and air. The board of directors has voted to build the ten-million dollar complex recommended in the study. Unfortunately, due to the short summer season, the complex will have to be built in stages. The first stage (year 1) will contain a day lodge, chair lift, rope tow, generator house (for electricity), and a parking lot designed to accommodate 400 cars and 30 buses. The second and the third stages will include a hotel, ice rink, pool, shops, two additional chair lifts, and other attractions. The board has decided that stage one should begin no later than April 1, 2018 and be completed by October 1, 2018, in time for the next skiing season. As a project manager, you have been assigned the responsibility of developing a schedule for the first stage of the Whistler Ski Resort project. Your goal is to create the project schedule based on the information on project scope, duration estimates, and predecessor information provided below. WBS, Duration and Predecessor Information: After looking into the possible sources of materials, you are confronted with the following time estimates. Materials for the chair lift and rope tow will take 30 days and 12 days, respectively, to arrive once the order is submitted. Lumber for the day lodge, generator hut, and foundations will take 9 days to arrive. The electrical and the plumbing materials for the day lodge will take 12 days to arrive. The generator will take 12 days to arrive. Before actual construction can begin on the various facilities, a road to the site must be built; this will take 6 days. As soon as the road is in, clearing can begin concurrently on the sites of the day lodge, generator house, chair lift, and rope tow. It is estimated that the clearing task at each site will take 6 days, 3 days, 36 days, and 6 days, respectively. The clearing of the main ski slopes can begin after the area for the chair lift has been cleared; this will take 84 days. The foundation for the day lodge will take 12 days to complete. Construction of the main framework will take an additional 18 days. After the framework is completed, electrical wiring and plumbing can be installed concurrently. These should take 24 days and 30 days, respectively. Finally, the finishing construction on the day lodge can begin; this will take 36 days. Installation of the chair lift towers (67 days) can begin once the site is cleared, lumber delivered, and the foundation completed (6 days). Also, when the chair lift site has been cleared, construction of a permanent road to the upper towers can be started; this will take 24 days. While the towers are being installed, the electric motor to drive the chair lift can be installed in 24 days. Once the towers are completed and the motor installed, it will take 3 days to install the cable and an additional 12 days to install the chairs. Installation of the towers for the rope tow can begin once the site is cleared and the foundation is built and poured; it takes 4 days to build the foundation, pour the concrete and let it cure, and 20 days to install the towers for the rope tow. While the towers care being erected, installation of the electric motor to drive the rope tow can begin; this activity will take 24 days. After the towers and the motors are installed, the rope tow can be strung in 1 day, following which the parking lot can be cleared in 18 days. The foundation for the generator house can begin at the same time as the foundation for the lodge; this will take 6 days. The main framework for the generator house can begin once the foundation is completed; framing will take 12 days. After the house is framed, the diesel generator can be installed in 18 days. Finishing construction on the generator house can now begin and will take 12 more days. Note: To construct a realistic schedule, consider: (i) statutory holidays in the province of British Columbia and Canada in the year in which the Stage 1 is to be accomplished, and (ii) create summary tasks based on appropriate grouping of tasks. Using the information obtained from MS Project, • Identify the tasks on the critical path. • Can the project be completed by the October 1, 2018 deadline? List of Statutory Holidays in British Columbia and Canada in 2018 (from April 1): Victoria Day (Third Monday in May) Canada Day (First work day in July) British Columbia Day (First Monday of August) Labor Day (First Monday in September) Thanksgiving (Second Monday in October Christmas Day (December 25 or nearest work day
