Scheduling of an assembly process of a chosen technical mean using the critical chain approach

Abstract

In the work is presented the CCPM (Critical Chain Project Management) method that differs from other network approaches. The differences are related with: the scheduling process, with restrictions of the project that are taken into account and with the time buffers allowing avoiding delays in realized tasks. Each project should be such organized to effectively achieve the previously assumed goals. The paper presents all the steps involved with utilization the CCPM method for determining the schedule of an assembly process of a mining shearer machine. It is presented the elaboration of the network of tasks and preparation the process schedule. It is also realized the resource optimization and the safety buffers introduction.
