1) What is being measured? (i.e. what are the variables?)
Task Duration, Task Predecessors, Task Resources, Task Material Cost, Resource Cost

2) What is being assumed and why? (i.e. what are the assumptions?)
7/24/365  production facility
Resources are available 7/24/365 as required (i.e. the project is not resource limited)
The length of the shutdown is determined from the Task Durations and Task Predecessors only

3) What statement is being made about the variables? (i.e. what is the hypothesis?)
The total shutdown cost can be determined
The length of the shutdown can be determined
A critical path can be determined

4) What is predicted? (i.e. what is predicted?)
The total cost of the shutdown
The length of the shutdown
Tasks to monitor
