Question

Negative slack occurs when -

• A. Events stick to their schedule
• B. Dummy activities are large in number
• C. Activities lie in critical path
• D. There is deficiency of resources

Answer 1

Answer:

D. There is deficiency of resources

Negative slack occurs when the latest allowable occurrence time (TL) is less than the earliest expected time (TE), indicating the project is behind schedule due to a lack of resources. Slack time can be calculated using the equation Slack = TL - TE. Positive slack indicates the project is ahead of schedule with excess resources, while zero slack means the project is on schedule with adequate resources.
