According to Kavanagh, Thite, & Johnson (2012), a cost benefit analysis (CBA) is a comparison of the projected costs and benefits associated with a human resource information system (HRIS) investment.

Case 16-2 Brent Bonnin begins his senior year of college filled with excitement and a twinge of fear. The excitement stems from his anticipation of being done with it all—professors, exams, problem sets, grades, group meetings, all-nighters . . . The list could go on and on.

1) Please identify the critical path using the activity letter provided and explain the significance of the critical path. The QSB output below shows the critical path. The path is significant because it demonstrates the path that is the most time consuming (longest to finish), as the activities on the critical path have no slack. The completion of each activity in this sequence is critical to the start of the next activity in the sequence. There is likely a “bottle neck” with one or more of these

coordinate all these activities, in developing a realistic schedule, and then in monitoring the progress of the project. Fortunately, two closely related operations research techniques, PERT (program evaluation and review technique) and CPM (critical path method), are available to assist the project manager in carrying out these responsibilities. These techniques make heavy use of networks (as introduced in the preceding chapter) to help plan and display the coordination of all the activities. They

Technique CPM : Critical Path Method. Framework of PERT and CPM There are six steps common to both PERT and CPM. 1. Define the project and all of its significant activities or task. 2. Develop the relationships among the activities. Decide which activities must precede and follow others. 3. Draw network connecting all of the activities. 4. Assign time and/or cost estimates to each activity. 5. Compute the longest time path through the network; this is called critical path. 6.
