A Auburndale trade material has a 28-day lead time and must be installed on project day 70. What latest release day keeps the activity supplied?
Correct Answer
D) project day 42
Latest release day equals required install day minus procurement lead time.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Latest release day equals required install day minus procurement lead time.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: project day 98
project day 98 is above the supported result for procurement release timing; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
Option B: project day 28
project day 28 is below the supported result for procurement release timing; it likely omits part of the approved scope, cap, credit, or holdback.
Option C: project day 70
project day 70 is above the supported result for procurement release timing; it likely adds scope or money the rule does not allow.
