Abstract

abstractSince a construction project involves a series of activities that utilize resources to achieve its goal within a given time period, efficient resource management is a prerequisite for its success. Two major techniques of resource management are resource constrained scheduling (RCS), which focuses on limited resource availability, and resource leveling, which focuses on a smooth resource usage pattern for a fixed project completion time. Although they can successfully generate schedules that accomplish their own objectives, they have certain limitations. RCS assumes a single fixed resource supply, and resource leveling may not improve the smoothness of resource usage beyond a certain level due to the fixed project completion time. In order to overcome these limitations, this study proposes a model to enhance the minimum moment algorithm of resource leveling for the efficient use of resources within an appropriate project completion time.
