System development for non-unit based repetitive project scheduling
AbstractRepetitive activities are commonly found in construction projects. It is stated in many literatures that repetitive scheduling methods are more effective than traditional CPM methods in the planning and scheduling of repetitive construction projects. Nevertheless, almost all the repetitive scheduling methods developed so far have been based on the premise that a repetitive project is comprised of many identical production units. In this research a non-unit based algorithm and a prototype system are developed for the planning and scheduling of repetitive projects. Instead of repetitive production units, repetitive or similar activity groups are identified and employed for scheduling. The developed system takes into consideration (1) the logical relationship of activity groups in a repetitive project, (2) the usage of various resource crews in an activity group, (3) the maintaining of resource continuity, and (4) the time and cost for the routing of resource crews. A sample case study is conducted for system validation, as well as for demonstration. Application of repetitive scheduling methods can be facilitated with the developed system.
