Spreadsheet Demonstration Room Construction Simulation

2 Room construction simulation Winston 12.3  Tom, Lingley, and independent contractor, has agreed to build a new room on an existing house. He plans to begin work on Monday morning, June 1. The main question is when will he complete his work, given that he works only on weekdays. The owner of the house is particularly hopeful that the room will be ready by Saturday, June 27, that is, an 20 or fewer working days. Lingley has told the owner that he is “pretty sure” this deadline can be met. The work proceeds in stages, labeled A through J, as summarized in Table. Three of these activities, E, F, and G, will be done by separate independent

3 Room construction simulation Winston 12.3 (cont’) subcontractors. Lingley would like to use computer simulation to see (1) how long the project is likely to take, (2) how likely it is that the project will be completed by the deadline, and (3) which activities are likely to be critical.
