BUFFER SIZING METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING STABLE SCHEDULES OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 157, Issue 3
Abstract
The assumption of static and deterministic conditions is common in the practice of construction project planning. However, at the construction phase, projects are subject to uncertainty. This may lead to serious schedule disruptions and, as a consequence, serious revisions of the schedule baseline. The paper focuses on the problem of constructing robust project schedules with a proactive procedure. Robust project scheduling aims at constructing schedules to cope with multiple disruptions during project execution. The method proposed by the authors, based on simulation technique and mathematical programming, was applied to scheduling a sample project. The results were compared, in terms of schedule stability, to those of the float factor heuristic procedure.
