Abstract Linear scheduling methods (LSM) are widely used in scheduling recurring projects due to many deficiencies of network technique (such as CPM). These deficiencies have encouraged researchers to develop a number of specialized scheduling techniques for recurring activity projects. These scheduling techniques take into account several parameters: 1- resource availability constraints, 2- Maintaining the continuity of work from one unit to another, 3- work interruptions, 4- Differences in quantities of work between units. However, most of these scheduling techniques did not grouping all of these parameters in a single model. This issue is considered in this thesis. A model that takes into consideration a group of constraints considering different scenarios for incorporating buffer time, interruption and schedule acceleration has been developed. The model was then implemented on a small size scale project to show how the model performs step by step. The program was verified using the previous small scale project from the literature. A large scale project was then applied to validate the model to suit real construction projects. |
