Assignment 2 — Resource Constraining and Resource Allocation   Individual Work

Using the two CSV files,

1. Develop a model that conducts resource levelling.

Your model takes as input:

• A CSV file that contains a table with the format presented in the default example attached.

Your model will return:

• Resource histogram for the original schedule (before levelling). The vertical axis shows the resource value and horizontal axis, the time (day).
• Revised (post levelling) histogram (only final stage required).
• Original and revised schedule: use barcharts to demonstrate the schedules.

Bonus mark: A PDM visualization where barcharts are required, will be given an additional 5 bonus marks 2. Develop a model that conducts resource allocation (Crashing).

Your model takes as input:

• a CSV file that contains a table with the format presented in the default example attached                   an overhead cost ($value) asked from the user input. Use $30 per day as the default overhead

Your model will return:

• The result of every step of crashing as the format below: Stepl:
• Activity (ies) crashed:(list all the activities that are crashed at this step)

• A barchart with the critical paths highlighted after crashing at this step
• Cost/Saving:             (at this step)
• Cumulative cost/saving:(to the project, at this step) Step2: .

Bonus mark: A PDM visualization where barcharts are required, will be given an additional 5 bonus marks, the critical path needs to be highlighted after crashing at each step

As always, use the provided examples (attached CSV file) as the default examples for first run. Your model should be able to take any other table in the CSV file with the same format• i.e. with any number of activities, durations, and dependencies.

1. Two well-commented source codes, one     stion. Please use : Q#_first name_family name format for naming of the files (e.g.
2. A page describing the logic that was used for your program in graphical format (PDF file). You can use flowcharts, pseudo-codes, workflow diagram, or one of the common formats of expressing the logic (graded).

1. Two well-commented source code, one for each question. Please use : Q#_first name_family name format for naming of the files (e.g. QI_F
2. A page describing the logic used for each code in graphical format (PDF file). You can use flowcharts, pseudocodes, workflow diagram, or one of the common formats of expressing the logic.

Notes:

• • There is no need to submit the original csv file. A csv file with different content but same format will be utilized to test and verify your code.
  • Your program should be commented well enough for the instructor to understand it; e.g. function defined, variables. Please use in-text comments. You are encouraged to use built-in in text comment such as Live script, Jupyter notebook, or Pycharm. Please refer to the following link for best practices for in-text comments and implement these in your code:

• • Please include a Header Block for your submission that includes the information printed in the example below. You can decide on the format:
