Edinburgh Tram System - Case Study

This document provides instructions and schedules for planning the Edinburgh Tram System. It includes a baseline schedule, a revised schedule with a constraint of only having two excavators available, and a final crashed schedule. The constraint of only two excavators caused the completion date to shift by 14 days. Through crashing tasks in the final schedule, the original contractual deadline of February 25, 2021 was met, but this required reducing the durations of several tasks and could increase costs.
