Gantt Charts & Network Diagrams
Airplanes only make money when they’re in the air! Therefore, airline managers strive to achieve the shortest possible “turnaround time” through a carefully choreographed process. The chart below provides a general flow for turning an aircraft. Create a Gantt chart, draw an Activity on Node Network (AON) diagram and determine the critical path. Use Excel to produce a Gantt chart of the aircraft servicing process from the time the aircraft stops at the gate until it is ready for departure. Use this information to create your chart. Use the Gantt Chart project planner template to get started. In Excel, select New and then search for the planner. Assume that the PLAN START (earliest start time) begins as soon as the predecessor is completed. Set the ACTUAL START, ACTUAL DURATION, and PERCENT COMPLETE time to 0 (since we are only using this chart for planning the project). Once you have completed your Gantt chart, study it, and provide suggestions on ways to shorten the turn around time. Remember that some items must be completed before others can start (i.e., the jet bridge must be connected before you can offload the passengers). Be sure to place your suggestions on the presentation slide with your Gantt Chart. Create a slide to construct a diagram of activity on node (AON) network of the aircraft turnaround operation. Make sure to produce your graph as shown in the video and in your textbook (i.e. using the ES, EF, LS, LF, Act. name and duration notation). Use your AON network diagram to determine the critical path and calculate the total time of completion. Make sure to annotate the critical path and time of completion on the slide. Once you produce the AON graph, consider what would happen if activity E Refueling/Water servicing could be reduced to 15 minutes. Write a brief statement on the changes to the critical path and time of completion. Place your statement on the slide. -

Inflation and Consumer Spending Patterns
Inflation touches every corner of daily life, influencing how people spend on essentials like groceries and rent as well as choices in travel and luxury. This project gives you the chance to work with real-world style data, uncovering patterns in spending shifts across categories. By using Excel to calculate averages, variability, and build visualizations, youll transform raw numbers into insights that reveal how inflation pressures shape both consumers and business strategy. Project Resources P1-1 Measures of Central Tendency.html P1-2 Measures of Central Tendency Business and Healthcare Applications, Best Practices, and Misuses.html P1-3 Measures of Variability.html P1-4 Measures of Variability Business and Healthcare Applications, Best Practices, and Misuses.html P1-5 Calculating Central Tendency and Variability in Excel Methods and Interpretation.html P1-6 Creating Charts in Excel Line Charts for Trends and Boxplots for Variability.html P1-7 Best Practices for Interpreting Statistical Data and Excel Charts.html P1-8 Using Statistical Findings for Business Decisions During Inflation.html Copy the data set provided into Excel. Arrange it with months in rows and spending categories in columns. Step 2: Calculate Measures of Central Tendency In Excel, use formulas for each category: Mean (Average): =AVERAGE(B2:B13) Median: =MEDIAN(B2:B13) Mode: =MODE.SNGL(B2:B13) (Adjust column letters depending on category.) Step 3: Calculate Measures of Variability Range: =MAX(B2:B13)-MIN(B2:B13) Variance: =VAR.S(B2:B13) Standard Deviation: =STDEV.S(B2:B13) Step 4: Create a Summary Table Build a table that shows mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation for each spending category. This will be pasted into Word. Step 5: Interpret the Results (in Word) Which category shows the highest average change? Which category shows the most variability in consumer spending? Step 6: Create Charts Line Chart Trends Over Time Highlight the entire dataset (Months + Categories). Go to Insert Line Chart Line with Markers. This will show monthly percentage changes for each variable. Title the chart: Monthly Changes in Consumer Spending and Inflation (%). Interpretation Tip: Identify which categories trend upward or downward during the 12-month period. This will be pasted into Word. Boxplot Variability Across Categories Copy the data for each category into separate columns (as already structured). Select the entire data range. Go to Insert Statistical Chart Box & Whisker. Title the chart: Spending Variability by Category and Inflation. Interpretation Tip: Use the boxplot to discuss spread (interquartile range), outliers, and which categories show the widest variability. This will be pasted into Word. Step 7: Visual Analysis in Interpretation (in Word) Explain how the line chart reveals overall spending trends. Use the boxplot to support claims about which categories are most volatile. This step should be 1 page in length (not including the charts pasted into Word). ChatGPT or other AI tools may not be used for this section of the assignment. Step 8: Research Application (in Word) What might explain these results in the context of inflation? How could businesses use these findings in pricing, marketing, or strategy? This section should be 1 page in length. Cite the module readings or other sources and add them to the reference list. Do not use quotations. ChatGPT or other AI tools may not be used for this section of the assignment. Deliverables Excel file with dataset and formulas, summary statistics table, line chart, and boxplot. If ChatGPT or other AI is used to create the content, a zero will be awarded for it. The assignment will not be graded without the Excel file.
