Automatic Look-Ahead Schedule Generation System for the Finishing Phase of Complex Projects for General Contractors
Generating Look-Ahead Schedule (LAS) manually or semi-manually using existing tools for complex projects in the finishing phase is very difficult, time-consuming and error-prone. Plus, because of the vast amount of alternatives in the crew assignment process, whether a LAS is the best, in terms of project duration or cost, is unknown. This paper proposes an LAS generation system to automate the LAS generation process. Based on field research and investigations, this paper first proposes an information model to integrate various sources of project data (e.g., product, process and organization related data) to get ready for LAS generation. An automatic schedule generation method is then described to simulate the LAS generation process and produce LAS outputs. Finally a prototype is developed based on the information model and the schema.
