List all resources that are assigned to work less than four hours on a task
There shouldn't be any

List all resources that are overloaded and explain why.

There could be some if crashing/overtime is used that decreases the fixed cost of the project more than it is increased by the variable labor costs.

Project Requirements

Project participants need not follow a flat contour for their work.

Project participants may be assigned overtime work for a maximum of three hours per day. Overtime work must be budgeted at overtime rate.

Project participants may not be assigned to work more than 11 hours per day.

Task splitting is not allowed. That is, when a task starts it must continue to completion without interruption.
Indirect cost for the project is $1,000 per day

Task durations may be reduced by a maximum of 1/3 of original duration through proportional assignment of direct labor resources

Details for the simulated project.

Included is a MSP file with the details imputed

Need -

1. the resources allocated across the tasks with the assigned constraints

2. A baseline project created: length (weeks) cost (Variable/wages + Fixed 1,000 a day project cost)

3. Analysis of crashing critical tasks by instituting overtime & focused allocation to decrease length of project therefore decreasing overall project cost
