Use the project information in the table to resolve resource conflicts,identify the critical chain and critical path,and create feeder buffers.A feeder buffer should be placed immediately before: $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | }
\hline \text { Activity } & \text { Predecessor } & \text { Length } & \text { Resource } & \text { Activity } & \text { Predecessor } & \text { Length } & \text { Resource } \
\hline \text { A } & - & 11 & P & D & C & 13 & P \
\hline B & \text { A } & 7 & M & E & - & 12 & \mathbf { X } \
\hline \mathbf { C } & \mathrm { B } & 8 & \mathrm {~W} & \mathrm {~F} & \mathrm { E } & 14 & \mathrm { M } \
\hline
\end{array}$$

Feeder buffers are added before non-critical chains merge into the critical chain to protect the critical chain from delays. Activity F follows E, which is not on the critical path, but F uses resource M, which is also used by B, a critical path activity. Thus, adding a buffer before F (which follows a non-critical path activity) ensures the critical path is not delayed by resource conflicts or delays in the non-critical path.
