Then tryAdd a two-hour machine setup before assembly.Change packaging to take eight hours.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Assign realistic durations per activity, such as 8 hours for procurement and 12 hours for assembly.
02
Determine parallel tasks like documentation alongside packaging to reduce total process time.
03
Identify critical path activities (e.g., assembly, inspection, packaging) to prioritize resource allocation.
When mapping any linear or semi-parallel production or project process with clear dependencies and need for schedule analysis.
