constraints except cid 10 cid 10 A Materials B People C Equipment D Information E All of the above are resource constraints 9 Sam is trying to order the concrete needed to continue his project However the supplier won t be able to deliver it until next week This is an example of a constraint cid 10 A Working capital B People C Equipment D Information E Materials cid 10 10 A special truck that George needs on his project has been scheduled on another project This is a cid 10 constraint cid 10 A Working capital B People C Equipment D Information E Materials 11 Most of the scheduling methods available today require the project manager to classify the project as either constrained or constrained cid 10 A Time quality B Quality resource C Cost time D Quality cost E Time resource cid 10 12 Regina s boss has told her that her project is very important If the critical path is delayed she will be given whatever she needs to get it back on schedule Her project is constrained cid 10 A Time B Quality C Cost D Performance E Resource cid 10 13 In reviewing the status of her project with top management Shirley was told that there only were two programmers that she could use for her project Her project is constrained cid 10 A Time B Quality C Cost D Performance E Resource cid 10 14 All resource leveling techniques involve cid 10 cid 10 A Delaying noncritical activities B Delaying critical activities C Using negative slack D Both A and C are correct E A B and C are all correct 16 The most widely used approach to apply heuristics which have been found to consistently minimize 15 Scheduling time constrained projects focuses on resource cid 10 cid 10 A Demands B Increases C Assumptions D Utilization E All are correct project delay over a large variety of projects is the cid 10 A Parallel method B Resource method C Materials D Both A and C are correct E A B and C are all correct cid 10 17 Resource leveling can provide cid 10 cid 10 A Lower peak demand B Reduced resource need over the life of the project C Reduced fluctuations in resource demand D Both A and B are correct E A B and C are all correct 18 Jan is trying to reallocate resources in a time constrained project to create smoother resource utilization with a low level of risk She should move to activities with the cid 10 A Smallest duration B Least slack C Most slack D Lowest identification number E Highest cost cid 10 19 In a resource constrained project which of the following is most likely to be changed cid 10 cid 10 20 In a resource constrained project the first priority in assigning resources is usually given to activities 21 In a resource constrained project the second priority in assigning resources is usually given to activities A The completion date B The budget C Project quality D Both A and B are equally likely E A B and C are all equally likely cid 10 with the cid 10 A Smallest duration B Least slack C Most slack D Lowest identification number E Highest cost cid 10 with the cid 10 A Smallest duration B Least slack C Most slack D Lowest identification number E Highest cost cid 10 22 The word Heuristics means cid 10 A Resource constraints B Flexibility C The critical path changed D Parallel activities become sequential E Rule of thumb 23 Splitting an activity creates the following situation cid 10 A More people working on the same activity B There are possible startup and shutdown costs C A resource may be moved from one activity to another and then back D Both B and C are correct E A B and C are all correct cid 10 24 The U S Forest Service snapshot from practice illustrated the importance of cid 10 cid 10 A Time constraints B Resource constraints C Cost constraints D Both B and C are correct E A B and C are all correct cid 10 except cid 10 A Inefficient resource utilization B Delays in one project cause delays in other projects C Reducing downtime created by lack of tasks to perform D Resource bottlenecks E All of these are common problems 25 More common problems associated with managing multiproject resources include all of the following 26 When a company will reduce the number of projects they have to manage internally to only core projects and send noncritical projects to contractors and consulting firms this is called cid 10 A Outsourcing B Redistribution of projects C Project allocation D Task sharing E Both B and D are correct cid 10 27 Which of the following is not one of the more common problems associated with scheduling multiproject resources cid 10 cid 10 A Overall schedule slippage B Inefficient resource utilization C
