“…The development made in this paper benefits from that given by Harris and Ioannou (1998) to determine the controlling path graphically. The proposed method is used to schedule both linear and repetitive projects and to determine the controlling path.…”

“…In such case, the x-axis is used to denote stations or locations, while the y-axis represents time (Harmelink and Rowings 1998;Mattila and Abraham 1998). Harris and Ioannou (1998) introduced another efficient representation for linear projects. They used the x-axis to denote time and the y-axis for repetitive units, as the traditional representation.…”

“…The controlling activity path is similar to the critical path of CPM. Harris and Ioannou (1998) use a similar approach-the Repetitive Scheduling Method-to identify controlling activities of a linear schedule. However, these methods are mainly graphically based techniques, which limit their practical use.…”

Scheduling of construction projects that have multiple units, wherein activities repeat from one unit to another, always represent a major challenge to project managers. These projects require schedules that ensure the uninterrupted usage of resources from an activity in one unit to the similar activity in the next unit and maintaining logic constraints at the same time. The scheduling method presented in this paper considers both logic and resource continuity constraints. The method utilizes the critical path method network of a single unit. Start-to-start and finish-to-finish relationships are used. Constant activity production rate is assumed. The proposed approach determines the controlling path (logically and resource critical units) in a simplified way. To automate the proposed algorithm, a macroprogram has been written on commercial scheduling software. Details of the model development and implementation are described, and an example application is presented to validate the proposed approach. The advantages, limitations, and future extensions of the proposed approach are then discussed.

Abstract:As the complexity in construction projects increased, simply managing the obtained float values and critical path(s) by the CPM method usually results in more difficult schedule control and, consequently, in incorrect decision making due to non-realistic float values. This study thoroughly reviewed various float types in the literature and professional project management systems, and discussed five managerial essentials and three proactive strategies on mitigating challenging float-related problems based on the perspective of managing schedules by controlling floats. With some comments and suggestions, the outcomes of this study not only improve the knowledge level on schedule management but also provide a better understanding of float management to improve the quality of schedule management.
