Due to an increasingly competitive environment, construction companies are becoming
more sophisticated, narrowing their focus, and becoming specialists in certain types of …

Resource leveling involves minimizing resource fluctuations without changing the
completion time of a project. A smooth distribution of resources minimizes logistical …

Abstract Line-of-balance (LOB) methodology produces a work schedule in which resource
allocation is automatically performed to provide a continuous and uninterrupted use of …

Activity production rates drive the development and accuracy of linear schedules. The nature
of linear projects dictates an assortment of variables that affect each activity's production …

Linear scheduling is known to have superior schedule management capabilities specifically
in linear construction projects such as oil and gas pipeline projects which typically involve …

In recent years, the state departments of transportation have implemented a number of
highway rehabilitation projects across the country. These projects differ fundamentally from …

This paper integrates multi-project scheduling and linear scheduling concepts. Since the
problem is combinatorial, a two-stage heuristic solution-finding procedure is used to model …

Abstract Scope and Method of Study. The purpose of this research was to expand the
capabilities of linear scheduling to account for varying production rates in pipeline …

Many construction projects, such as highways, pipelines, tunnels, and high-rise buildings,
contains activities that repeated at different locations. Research has shown that the Critical …

Due to an increase in competition and project owners requirements, construction companies
are becoming more sophisticated. In order to be more efficient and achieve competitive …
