RESOURCE LEVELLING IN REPETITIVE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WITH INTERRUPTIONS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Despite the significance of resource levelling, project managers lack various ways to smooth usage fluctuation a repetitive construction besides changing usage. Tolerating interruptions is an effective way provide flexibility for schedule but ignored when solving levelling problems. Therefore, this paper investigates impacts on and develops integrated approach that simultaneously integrates two scheduling adjusting processes: tolerating interruptions. In paper, interruption conditions are proposed identify which activities suitable be interrupted smoothing fluctuation. The traditional model modified new by incorporating A two-stage GA-based algorithm developed integrating commonly used pipeline adopted illustrate steps demonstrate its effectiveness superiority through comparison with previous studies. large-scale further verifies usability approach. results confirmed feasibility interruptions, can achieve more competitive result.
