ABSTRACT
deliverables, usually with intended start and finish dates. Those items are often estimated in
terms of resource allocation, budget and duration, linked by dependencies and scheduled
events. A schedule is commonly used in project planning and project portfolio management
parts of project management. Elements on a schedule may be closely related to the work
breakdown structure (WBS) terminal elements, the Statement of work, or a Contract Data
Requirements List. This project aims at comparing the most widely used scheduling technique
i.e. Critical Path Method (CPM) and an emerging technique i.e. Location Based Scheduling
Method (LBMS). The CPM is executed using CANDY platform and LBMS is done using
VICO Schedule Planner. A small residential element is taken as the specimen for scheduling
and both scheduling techniques are applied, duly optimized by mathematical modelling.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Project Management is an integral part of any Construction process. It is from this concept that
the subsidiaries like efficient use of resources, cost management and sustainable management
were sired. Any project management process consist of three main components:
1. Planning
2. Scheduling
3. Controlling
Planning consists of a brief set of eight steps:
a) Define
b) Establish
c) Develop
d) Determine
e) Test
f) Choose
g) Decide
There are various methods for scheduling of which the most popular are the PERT and CPM.
The project controlling aims at three things i.e. ensuring that project is completed in minimum
time applying the minimum cost and with best optimal quality. According to various
researchers controlling is the main part of a project, even above planning or scheduling
(sepannen et al, 2009). Scheduling of activities are of utmost importance when starting a new
project whatever scale it might be on. It is done to ensure the resources are used efficiently and
in most cost effective way. No manager will want rework as it will require additional usage of
resources and wastage of money which is harmful for the growth of project.
1
1.2 ASSUMPTION AND LIMITATION
While using CPM, we have assumed that the project used in the context, is of repetitive type
and is mostly used when the scheduling is deterministic. The major limitation of CPM is that
it can only be used in those projects that have repetitive entities, otherwise one has to use PERT
technique. Also the activity based scheduling takes more time and resources than the location
based scheduling.
The Location Based Scheduling can be used in projects having repetitive nature and where
similar resources are being used in various locations. This technique faces a problem when the
locations are not similar and the allocation of resources is varying for different locations.
To analyze real time projects and devise an optimal technique of scheduling between CPM and
Location Based Management System (LBMS).
To find the consistency of the techniques using Analytical Hierarchical Process.
1. Preliminary schedule using CANDY platform.
a) A preliminary schedule was made using CANDY which consisted of basic activities

3. Detailed scheduling using CPM and LBMS.
a) CPM Scheduling will be done using CANDY platform and LBMS will be done
using Schedule Planner (VICO Control)
4. Comparing the CPM and LBMS technique.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Any type of scheduling is divided into two basic entities namely: Activity Based Scheduling
and Location Based Scheduling.
Activity Based Scheduling can again be divided into two major concepts in the field of
construction management and technology i.e. deterministic (CPM approach) and probabilistic
(PERT approach). For Location Based Methods, the division is into unit production and
location production. (Kenley et al., 2009)
Activity Based describes the underlying epistemology that a project may be modelled solely
with individual packages of works (activities) and their logical relationships. The focus of the
method is therefore on the activity as the container for project data, and the logical network is
constructed by linking activities. (Sapannen et al., 2009) The concepts of CPM and PERT aim
at completion of project and give no importance on the availability of resources and the overall
cost and the cost of rework if any. PERT and CPM have been the best techniques known to
construction industry till few years back. The critical path method takes care that the project is
completed in the shortest time. Being deterministic in approach and repetitive in nature, CPM
can be compared with LBMS for real time projects.
This method is usually suited for projects of repetitive in nature and usually keep resources
continuously at work. There is limited data on the practical implication of LBS but the
customers enjoy nearly 10% schedule compression with no subsequent increase in project risk.
3
The initiative to establish the LBS technique as the best among other scheduling techniques is
taken by Finnish contractors who used this method in their project and found that it was much
better in conservation of resources and lowering the cost.
The main principal behind the concept is that the resources should flow throughout the
building. Usually quantities are grouped in preparation of a BOQ which depends on mainly
three things that are single crew can perform work, task associated activity or the tasks should
have the same dependency logic and lastly work can be completed in one location before
moving on to the next. Yong., 2002 tested the importance of flow and suggested a 30% cost
saving when resources can work continuously.
This brings us down to the most important concept behind Location Based Scheduling i.e.
Layered Logic (Kenley et al., 2009).

Calculation of forecast:
As has been discussed before, tasks can be grouped together in a BOQ when they are executed
in the same location (Yong, 2002). Some of the important terms that are frequently required in
calculation of BOQ are:
Consumption rate: Amount of worker/machine time that it takes to produce 1 unit of each item.
Production rate: Number of production units that can be produced in unit time.

RESEARCH WORK

IS 1588 part 1 and 2 are used in addition to the Delhi Schedule of rates to find the approximate
number of labours required for particular activities. This was used as a cornerstone in
determining the duration of each activity.
The research started with acquisition of TILOS software for Location Based Scheduling and
MS Projects was used for CPM scheduling. The following is the step – wise process that was
used in TILOS in constructing a prototype. This helped in the overall understanding of TILOS.

3.2.1 INFERENCE
Following are the findings of comparison of two scheduling techniques considered in this
project:
1. CPM scheduling is much easier to do than LBMS and less time consuming.
2. There is scope for delays in LBMS i.e. one doesn’t change the main schedule if
project is delayed by some days. This is because the delays are a part of an entity in
the Location Based Management System known as the buffer.
3. A buffer is not the part of actual task duration and is usually located between tasks to
give time for reaction to deviations.
4. A location based management system generates the CPM network based on the
locations. Any two similar locations will have similar network and one doesn’t need
to schedule for separate locations individually.
5. In LBMS, big locations are disintegrated into smaller locations in accordance to the
assumption that a higher location starts when work in all lower locations have been
completed.
6. One of the prominent features of using LBMS is that one can easily remove any
location in between, just by setting the quantities in that location to be zero. The
change is made in calculation of completion days. This technique cannot be used in
the Critical Path Method.

4.4 LOCATION BASED SCHEDULE OF G+20 STRUCTURE
20
The consistency ratio obtained using Location Based Management System was 0.36% which
is far lesser than the consistency ratio obtained using CPM which was 3.27%. We know that,
lesser the consistency ratio more consistent is the entity. Hence in this case LBS is more
consistent than CPM schedule. Location Based Scheduling is done by combining locations that
are similar, so that one can allocate a type of resource and that can be circulated among them.
Hence we don’t have to dedicate separate resources for different locations. This ensures
efficient use of resources. In my research optimization through AHP (Analytical Hierarchical
Process), Location Based Schedule provides better consistency and hence better efficiency than
Critical Path Method.
21
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
G+20 structure was taken as a reference for making the schedule. The scheduling was done
using the logic of Critical Path Method using the CANDY software manufactured by CSS
enterprises. The following schedule i.e. the Location Based Management System has been
prepared in VICO Control platform (Schedule Planner Standard). The following were
optimized using Analytical Hierarchical Process.
It was found that Location Based Schedule provided a project with lesser cumulative duration
than the CPM schedule, as the activities in Location Based Management were grouped location
– wise and the activities could be started and advanced concurrently. Hence, there was no need
to dedicate resources to different locations separately.
Ultimately this research provided a comprehensive solution incorporating the actual realistic
constraints as follows:
1. The LBMS has many advantages over the conventional project networking techniques.
The major advantage of LBMS over CPM is that one could accommodate economical
characteristics in scheduling of the construction projects.
2. Though the computation of LBMS is complex, it is worth the time because it will give
most reliable results and hence the schedule obtained using LBMS is more feasible and
also able to resolve economic issues that might have occurred during the construction.
3. Despite the complexity, LBMS looks into the human factors into consideration and hence
it contributes to the ethical and socio economic components in scheduling.
4. Economically the Critical Path Method platforms are easily available as compared to
Location Based Management System platforms. But the latter can be used in addition to
CPM duly optimized for scheduling on the basis of location.
5. Another constraint is that the Location Based Scheduling technique is not widely used in
Asian subcontinent. This technique is applied on a large scale in Finland and in some parts
of USA. In India, the CPM technique is widely used and the former technique is still
unheard of.
6. Since the Location Based Technique is not used in South – East Asia, there is not much
literature available for study. On the other hand, one can find ample literature on Critical
Path Method.
7. Another constraint encountered was getting the Questionnaire Survey completed, as major
companies are usually not willing to disclose confidential project information to anyone.
Both the schedules were analysed using Analytical Hierarchical Process. In this process, lesser
the value of consistency better the schedule. If the consistency ratio loco motes above 10%
22
then the schedule becomes inconsistent. According to Annexure D and E it was found that the
consistency ratio for LBMS was far lesser than the consistency ratio for CPM schedule. Hence,
scheduling using Location Based Management System (schedule planner standard) is more
efficient than the Critical Path Method Schedule.
