...CPA Australia 26/04/12 6:14 PM CPA 104 Activity on Arrow diagram exercise You are working for a manufacturing company and your task is to create a network diagram for a project that the company has commenced involving the acquisition of an industrial furnace. A furnace may be over 100 metres long and have more than 40,000 components, so effective project management of the contract is essential. One use for furnaces is to turn clay into ceramics for things like tableware and sanitary-ware. A furnace may cost up to several million dollars depending on its size and capabilities. A manufacturing company that is looking to buy a furnace will often solicit several quotes or tenders. If a customised design is required, this necessitates considerable preparation and effort. Once a tender is awarded, the key phases to be completed are design, purchasing, shipping, installation and commission. There are two common formats used to prepare network diagrams. The activity-onarrow (AOA) network method displays activities as arrows and events as nodes. The other format is the activity-on-node (AON) network method, where nodes and arrows represent activities and events are not illustrated. The choice of AOA or AON representation is a matter of personal preference. For this exercise we will use the AOA format. Project information Detailed below is a project activity list for the project to install a furnace. The main activities 'a – h' are listed, along with their preceding activity...

...important to a customer and designer of said system. Failures in a system can create catastrophic events that are costly in both monetary and emotional aspects. Faults within a system can be different in nature and can continue to wreak havoc on the system or to do nothing in some cases. Failures in distributed and centralized system can be specific in nature; however a generalized topic can describe the majority of these failures across the system. There are four types of failures in distributed systems that can affect functionality; but two of these four specific failures that can affect centralized systems as well. The general failures include: halting type failures, byzantine style failures, omission failures, and failures related to network issues. While all of these are important some of them affect a system more violently than others. The first types of failures to discuss are halting failures. These types of failures can be frustrating in nature since they affect most of the system and do not allow the operator to really investigate without rebooting the entire system. These failures essentially freeze the system without allowing any action to alleviate the issue. There can be many reasons for a halting failure such as hardware or software malfunctions, memory problems, or even viruses. Many of these problems can be solved by updating your system, acquiring memory that can create room to do some of the system work, or installing antivirus or spyware software that can...

...The best methodologies, in my opinion, for the Project Stock would be Network Flow Diagram and Project Software. Using Network Flow Diagram will help ShoeRUs to visualize and understand how the project will work and proceed. This diagram will also display the link with all the components of the project. (Network Diagram, 2015) One more strength of this methodology is that the format of this diagram will make it easier to determine the flow of the project, where the current project is in its lifecycle and also link of activities taking place during the whole lifecycle. The main aim of this methodology is to enable to create a diagram for the project broken down into smaller tasks which are important for completing the whole project. Another methodology is the Project Software. There are a lot of strengths that comes with this type of methodology. One of its strengths is that it provides the company to evaluate the direction that the project is taking. It also helps the company to revisit every task in the project lifecycle. By doing this, the company will reduce the costs and the time that will take to finalize the project being developed. It also helps the company to build the project as expected.

...them. 1. Affinity Diagram * An affinity diagram is a brainstorming tool. It functions by drawing connections between a variety of ideas and information. By illustrating theses connections it is possible to understand how they are related. Organizing Ideas Into Common Themes 2. In most projects, brainstorming is a common tool used to gather issues. As a mechanism for allowing a group of individuals to get ideas and issues on the table brainstorming is hard to beat – however all too often such sessions generate large quantities of issues and these can become complex toreview and difficult to interpret – it can also be challenging to highlight particular trends that the gathered issues may portray, finally following thebrainstorming session, themes and thoughts may be forgotten. 3. There are however a variety of methods available to analyze and group the outputs of such team meetings, in order that gathered ideas can be efficiently utilized. Of these methods, Affinity diagrams represents an excellent tool to both group ideas in a logical way and capture themes that have developed during the brainstorming. 4. Created in the 1960’s by Jiro Kawakita, Affinity diagrams allows large numbers of ideas to be sorted into groups for review and analysis. These, simple to produce, diagrams are particularly useful with large group where ideas which are generated at a fast pace require to be organized. 5.
