How did u get the cycle time???

[@The_Business_Doctor]

Hi Durga, if you play the video at about 0:30 you will see the cycle time of 1.5 appears -- you are told what it is.
Hope this helps.

You said you must first begin with the task time with the longest processing time. Task E has a processing time of 0.8 min and Task B has a processing time of 0.7 min. Why didn't you start with Task E?

[@The_Business_Doctor]

Hi Hazzy, this refers to the processing times of the beginning tasks. Task E comes further down the line.
Hope this helps.

You cannot use I before adding G. The precedence would be affected . Isn't it?

[@The_Business_Doctor]

I’m not sure what you’re asking here. Task I is at the end and must therefore come after G.

[@goodstar9553]

@@The_Business_Doctor you have added I before G. I becomes eligible only after adding G (g->i)as given by precedence requirements. Isn't it?
