the longest duration is specified as the critical activity (Baker 2001). From the activities of SamMax Ltd‚ activity C has the longest duration i.e. 10 days as compared to other activities which have 9‚ 8 and 6 days of activities D‚ E and F‚ accordingly. The latest start time is computed by adding float to latest start time of the critical activity (Anon 2007). The equation for this scenario is: Latest start time = Latest start time or EST of the critical activity + total float The equation can
