HOW TO COMPUTE EARLIEST START TIME FOR EACH NODE (E)

The steps involved in the computation of Earliest Start Time for each node (E) are as follows:

Step 1→ Identify all the activities leading to each node.
Step 2→ Calculate the sum of expected Time of each set of activities leading to each node.
Step 3→ Calculate the maximum of the sum of expected time of each set of activities (as per step 2).

The aforesaid calculations may be presented in the form of following table:
