Your next project consists of 5 consecutive 10-day activities, each estimated by a
different worker in your organization. You have all secretly added your own safety
margin of 4 days into your estimates and you watch in horror as the project
manager whips out his copy of Critical Chain and slams it on the table midway
through their first project meeting. "I'm taking your buffers and making them my
own," he bellows. You recoil from this news and do some quick mental arithmetic.
Now that you know the project manager is a Goldratt disciple, you know that the
new project buffer will be: ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------10 Days

A resource constraint can be exploited using CCPM methodology by: ---------
CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Determining the priority among projects for
access to the drum.

completion) and precedence requirements shown in the table. What is the length
of the feeder buffer for path NQT if this project is managed using critical chain
methodology?ActivityPredecessorLengthActivityPredecessorLengthM--8R--12N--
