Reviewing Construction Schedule Float Management
نویسنده
چکیده
As the complexity in construction projects increased, simply managing the obtained float values and critical path(s) by the CPM method usually results in more difficult schedule control and, consequently, in incorrect decision making due to non-realistic float values. This study thoroughly reviewed various float types in the literature and professional project management systems, and discussed five managerial essentials and three proactive strategies on mitigating challenging float-related problems based on the perspective of managing schedules by controlling floats. With some comments and suggestions, the outcomes of this study not only improve the knowledge level on schedule management but also provide a better understanding of float management to improve the quality of schedule management.

FLORA: New Forensic Schedule Analysis Technique
While various factors such as float ownership, logic change, and resource allocation FLORA affect results of delay analysis, existing delay analysis techniques tend to ignore most if not all of them. To address this insufficiency this paper proposes a new schedule analysis technique called FLORA that simultaneously captures the dynamics of float, logic, and resource allocation in its analyses. ...
متن کاملDesign of Work in Process Buffers in Repetitive Building Projects: a Case Study
Variability in construction projects usually leads to schedule delays, cost overruns and productivity losses. Among the different techniques and tools employed to manage a construction project the use of buffers is a common approach to handle variability and to protect production processes from its negative impact. Time float, resource inventories and budget contingencies are examples of buffer...

Traditional scheduling methods such as CPM or PERT have been found to be inappropriate for scheduling the linear construction projects. According to the limitations of Traditional scheduling methods, Linear Scheduling Method (LSM) is proposed specifically for linear construction projects. Aiming at overcoming the limitations of network technology in deciding the production rate of linear constr...
