| Abstract |
Repetitive project planning and scheduling method requires complementing the disadvantages of the critical path method (CPM) and the line of balance (LOB) method, which are confined in time-driven and graphical analysis, respectively. CPM is lack of capability to handle repetitive projects. LOB is also lack of analytical qualities of schedule information due to its' dependency on graphical technique. Existing studies attempt to combine CPM and LOB techniques in a system. However, they are mostly graphical methods. A new method integrating CPM and LOB techniques is presented so as to schedule repetitive projects using formula computing schedule information of each and every units of a project schedule. The proposed method perform basic LOB calculations to ensure resource employment continuity. Each and every activity durations at all units, floats and project completion time are computed using CPM method. Test cases are conducted to verify the potential of the proposed method. |
