[All PK0-005 Questions]

A global shipping slowdown is causing critical raw materials needed for manufacturing to be delivered late. As a result, a project's production run will be delayed from the beginning.

Which of the following dependencies is most likely happening?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A Finish-to-Start dependency implies that a subsequent activity cannot start until a previous one finishes. In this scenario, the manufacturing process (subsequent activity) cannot begin until the critical raw materials (previous activity) have been delivered. This type of dependency is the most common in project schedules and is likely being affected by the global shipping slowdown, causing delays in the start of the project's production run.

That's a good point, Clay. It could be Start-to-start if the project can begin even with delayed deliveries.

But what if the project can start even if the materials are not finished being delivered? Maybe it's Start-to-start.

I bet the project manager is having a meltdown over this delayed shipment. Finish-to-start all the way!

This is easy, it's Finish-to-start. The shipping slowdown is causing a domino effect on the whole production schedule.

I agree with Page, because the project can't start until the raw materials are finished being delivered.

Hmm, I'm torn between Finish-to-start and Start-to-start, but I'll go with Finish-to-start since the question mentions the delay is from the beginning.

The correct answer is Finish-to-start. The late delivery of raw materials means the production can't even start on time.

It's definitely a Finish-to-start dependency. The late delivery of raw materials will delay the entire production run from the beginning.
