Line of Balance
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Now-a-days whole world facing competition in every fields, including construction industry. Large construction companies carry out big projects, according to the need of that project, they uses different methods of construction and management. Critical Path Method (CPM), Linear Scheduling Method (LSM), and Line Of Balance (LOB) are the different methods of construction project management. All the construction companies utilize these methods according their utilities and requirement of project. In this report, Line of balance method is explained with its different component on the basis of some related works discussed different alternatives and strategies to sequence activities in the long run. This report contains a study carried out in a construction company in which LOB concept is used in the initial planning phase of a high-rise residential project. Based on the information provided by different LOBs, representing different scenarios, It is further discussed with projects managers, superintendents, and crews the advantages and disadvantages of each scenario regarding the project’s lead time, activities cycle time, gang sizes, batch sizes, buffers, sequencing and interferences between activities .
