Abstract
The construction of a pipeline project requires significant scheduling efforts to ensure a timely completion without cost overruns. Traditionally, pipeline projects are scheduled in a very similar way as other construction projects: either by the critical path method (CPM) or the line-of-balance method (LOB). Despite the wide acceptance of these two methods, they are less than satisfactory in scheduling pipeline projects. In this paper, the author addresses the deficiencies of these two classical methods and presents a new scheduling system, repetitive scheduling method (RSM). The author demonstrates the application of RSM in performing what-if analysis for alternatives to expedite a real-life pipeline project.
