Abstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an improved algorithm for optimized acceleration of repetitive construction projects. Method Through a set of iterative steps this algorithm identifies the least costly method that would put a project back on track, while maintaining crew work continuity. The algorithm divides each activity into segments and identifies the segments that would shorten project duration if accelerated. For these identified segments, the ones with the lowest cost slope are selected a… Show more
