|---|---|---|---|
| A | \text{Assemble the drawer} | 30 | - |
| B | \text{Fix the legs to the desktop} | 15 | - |
| C | \text{Attach the drawer} | 15 | A |
| D | \text{Attach the sides} | 10 | B |
| E | \text{Attach the back} | 5 | B |
| F | \text{Attach the network sockets} | 15 | D, E |

The table below describes the tasks that are required to build a new personal computer:
| Activity | Description | Time (hours) |
|---|---|---|
| C | \text{Select components} | 2 |
| H | \text{Assemble chassis} | 1 |
| B | \text{Build components} | 4 |
| R | \text{Setup cooling system} | 1 |
| O | \text{Install software} | 4 |
| T | \text{System testing} | 3 |
| D | \text{Prepare user documents} | 2 |
| P | \text{Invoice customer} | 1 |
The order in which the tasks should be completed is given below:
- Selecting components and assemble chassis can start together
- Build components can only be done once chassis is assembled, and components are selected
- Configure cooling system can be done when build components is complete
- Install software can be done when cooling system is installed
- System testing can be done when all software is installed
- Prepare user documents can be done after build components
- Invoice customer can be done after system testing and prepare user documents are complete
