...Qais Amarkhil; Anwar S. Alroomi; Mohammad Rasoul Narimani Purpose This study aims to enhance construction scheduling through a computational methodology that enables structured input preparation, constraint formulation and combinatorial task analysis to improve schedule feasibility, automation...

... increasing the reliability of time estimates in scheduling. Design/methodology/approach Scheduling is a knowledge-intensive process that requires the utilization of data and expert opinion elicitation from various levels of an organization in construction projects. This research consists of five...

...Ali Fares; Ashraf Elazouni; Sameh Al-Shihabi; Mubarak Al-Alawi Purpose In the construction industry, cash flow issues can impact both contractors and owners. Although finance-based scheduling (FBS) models were developed to control contractors’ cash flow, researchers completely disregarded cash...

...Abhaysinha Gunvantrao Shelake; Nivedita Gunesh Gogate Purpose This study aims to develop a comprehensive framework for addressing delays in tunnel construction projects by leveraging predictable risk factors. Tunnel projects often encounter scheduling delays due to inherent complexities...

...Xin Zou; Zhuang Rong Purpose In repetitive projects, repetition offers more possibilities for activity scheduling at the sub-activity level. However, existing resource-constrained repetitive scheduling problem (RCRSP) models assume that there is only one sequence in performing the sub-activities...

... majeure. To determine the S-curves during a force majeure event, two approaches can be selected: BCWS (budgeted cost of scheduled work)-base approach, or BCWP (budgeted cost of work performed)-base approach. To determine the rest of S-curves after a force majeure event, two approaches can be considered...

...Diana Salhab; Søren Munch Lindhard; Farook Hamzeh Purpose Compressing the schedule by using overlapping activities is a commonly adopted approach for accelerating projects. However, this approach might channel a variety of risks into the construction processes. Risks imply waste; still, evaluating...

...Asli Pelin Gurgun; Kerim Koc; Handan Kunkcu Purpose Completing construction projects within the planned schedule has widely been considered as one of the major project success factors. This study investigates the use of technologies to address delays in construction projects and aims to address...

...Cheng Zhou; Rao Li; Xiaoju Xiong; Jie Li; Yuyue Gao Purpose This study presented the experience of improving the nucleic acid sample collection and transportation service in response to the epidemic. The main purpose is that through intelligent path planning, combined with the time scheduling...

... on the notion of robustness. Design/methodology/approach This paper develops a float-based robustness measurement method for the work continuity uncertainty in repetitive projects. A multi-objective optimization model is formulated to generate a schedule that achieves a balance between crew numbers...

...Osman Hürol Türkakın; Ekrem Manisalı; David Arditi Purpose In smaller projects with limited resources, schedule updates are often not performed. In these situations, traditional delay analysis methods cannot be used as they all require updated schedules. The objective of this study is to develop...

...Hessa Almatroushi; Moncer Hariga; Rami As'ad; AbdulRahman Al-Bar Purpose This paper proposes an integrated approach that seeks to jointly optimize project scheduling and material lot sizing decisions for time-constrained project scheduling problems. Design/methodology/approach A mixed integer...
