Based on historical weather data, a particular project is expected to be impacted by 6 adverse weather days. Using one of the procedures described in this chapter, make the appropriate allowance for adverse weather and solve the network for the basic scheduling information. For each activity, .show the computed value of early start, early finish, late start, late finish, total float, and free float.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

There are a variety of answers that might be given for this problem. One
suggestion in the text was to include a weather delay activity late in the network. This has
been done below by the addition of activity W. Adjustments could also be made to the
individual activity durations. This would result in fractions of days unless some type of
rounding was employed. Regardless of the approach, the six days of weather delays must
be incorporated such that the duration is extended by six days.

Answer to Question 2

Perhaps the primary factor is the end user of the schedule. If the user of the
schedule will use the schedule to monitor performance, less detail will be required
than when the schedule is used to plan work activities. Where there are many users, it
is a function of the maximum amount of detail that will be required or expected by
one of the users. In some instances, the contract will dictate the level of detail that is
to be used. Other factors that might impact the schedule detail include project complexity,
number of subcontractors, and how much the schedule will be used to plan the work.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
