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?
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.
