Independent Float given Slack Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Independent Float given Slack = Free Float-Slack of Event
IF_{0 slack} = FF₀-s
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Independent Float given Slack - Independent Float given Slack is that portion of the total float within which an activity can be delayed for start without affecting the float of the preceding activities.
Free Float - (Measured in Day) - Free Float is the period by which an activity can shift in its timing without affecting the Early Start of any succeeding activity or event.
Slack of Event - (Measured in Day) - Slack of Event in a network is the difference between the latest event time and the earliest event time at its terminal point or node.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Float: 8 Day --> 8 Day No Conversion Required
Slack of Event: 6 Day --> 6 Day No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

IF_{0 slack} = FF₀-s --> 8-6

Evaluating ... ...

IF_{0 slack} = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2 <-- Independent Float given Slack

Expected Waiting Time for Customers in Queue

Go Expected Waiting Time for Customers in Queue = Mean Arrival Rate/(Mean Service Rate*(Mean Service Rate-Mean Arrival Rate))

Standard Normal Variation

Go Standard Normal Variation = (Normal Variate-Expected Value)/Standard Deviation

PERT Expected Time

Go PERT Expected Time = (Optimistic Time+4*Most Likely Time+Pessimistic Time)/6

Time Taken for Manufacturing Model with Shortage

Go Time taken for Manufacturing Model with Shortage = EOQ Manufacturing Model with Shortage/Demand per Year

Independent Float

Go Independent Float = Early Finish Time-Late Start Time-Activity Time

Total Float

Go Total Float = Late Finish Time-(Early Start Time+Activity Time)

Free Float

Go Free Float = Early Finish Time-Early Start Time-Activity Time

Expected Waiting Time for Customers in System

Go Expected Waiting Time for Customers in System = 1/(Mean Service Rate-Mean Arrival Rate)

Time Taken for Purchase Model with No Shortage

Go Time taken for Purchase Model no Shortage = Economic Order Quantity/Demand per Year

Time Taken for Purchase Model with Shortage

Go Time taken for Purchase Model with Shortage = EOQ Purchase Model/Demand per Year

Total Float given Finish Time

Go Total Float given Finish Times = Late Finish Time-Early Finish Time

Standard Deviation given Optimistic and Pessimistic Time

Go Standard Deviation = (Pessimistic Time-Optimistic Time)/6

Independent Float given Slack

Go Independent Float given Slack = Free Float-Slack of Event

Late Finish Time

Go Late Finish Time = Late Start Time+Duration of Activity

Early Finish Time

Go Early Finish Time = Early Start Time+Safety Stock

Total Float given Start Time

Go Total Float = Late Start Time-Early Start Time
