CRUSHING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTSBY RELOCATING RESOURCES

Abstract

variety of schedule compression techniques are used to get delayed construction projects‘‘backontracks’’.Thispaperpresentsanewoptimizationapproachtoschedulecrashingbyrelocating someof the workers from non-critical to critical processes (changing composition of crews using the initial poolof workers) and employing additional resources. The authors describe their idea in the form of a mixed-integer linear problem. A numerical example illustrates the merits of the proposed
approach. The methodmaybecomeapracticalsupportinconstructionschedulingdecisions.
