| Abstract | Under Concurrent Engineering Management philosophy, construction project
planning and scheduling has played a major role in determining whether the project
would be a complete success or a total failure. It is also a fundamental and highly
challenging task for the project management to come up with optimal planning of the
project and the best schedule. One of the concurrent aspects that needs to be considered is
the way we plan the project under limited resources and time.
Even though numerous scheduling programs are available for the optimal
planning and scheduling of complicated projects, the choice of methods for scheduling
still remains as a task, which continues to rel y on the skill, judgment and experience of
the project manager and team members.
The major concern of this study is 'to look at how to improve the scheduling tasks
by emphasizing the leveling of tasks for construction processes due to limited resource
constraints. This is made possible by early investigation of various constructing tasks'
times along with their impact on the overall completion time of the project. The PERT
Network model along with an Integer goal programming are developed and then
formulated to generate the best scheduling plan for all tasks. An Extended PERT
Network is also introduced and serves as a basis for mathematical modeling.
The main construction processes of two existing types of platforms are
investigated, and the developed models are applied to determine the best scheduling of all
tasks considering limited resource requirements. The results from the formulated models
show that there are various ways to schedule tasks so that overall project completion time
will not be delayed. Concurrent control is also introduced to provide information useful
for enhancing decisions made among cross-functional team members. Finally, a
framework for future and further development of the proposed system is mentioned 1n
this study. |
