Work cycle based scheduling

Abstract

The paper proposes a new approach to short-term scheduling based on spatial and technological cycles, continuous crew flows and daily scheduling, named WCBS (Work Cycle Based Scheduling). Application of WCBS is shown on a case study of constructing seven multi-storey structures. It was concluded that WCBS helps overcome restrictions of existing approaches to micro scheduling (daily tasks and crew coordination), enhances the scheduling process and increases productivity of works.
