Abstract

Construction projects is high-rise buildings, highways,power stations, pipelines etc are involving thousands of activities. Planning, Scheduling of such projects using traditional network techniques like CPM/PERT have many disadvantages due to large number of activities. Alternate methods using to model such as graphical methods, linear scheduling methods, line of balance methods. The advantages of these graphical approaches are simplicity and visualize whole project. Planning, scheduling of construction projects are affected by unpredictable factors such as cash flow, design changes etc. Conventionally project scheduling by using critical path method has been used. The project scheduling using software’s like ms-project, primavera are used. However optimized project scheduling using linear programming and software’s are being attempted. The optimized project scheduling using linear programming and different software are proposed to be used. This method is simple, applicable to a large network, and generates shorter computational time at low cost, along with in an increase in robustness. Operations research is mainly concerned with management problems and involves the construction of mathematical modelsand the application of mathematical tools and modern computer technology.
