Construction projects are generally the most high-risk businesses, especially shipbuilding projects. Efforts to reduce the risk can be done by minimizing the potential risk. This study aims to see potential high risk and prevent delays in the completion of ship construction using the Critical Path Method CPM at PT. XYZ. By using the Critical Path Method CPM critical paths can be given more attention so that they will not interfere ship construction projects. In addition, it is also a form of anticipation if there is a delay, it is possible to reschedule.

Delays by limited supply of resources are common in many construction projects and may cause serious monetary disputes between project participants. Since the dispute resolution may require unnecessary additional time and cost, preventing delays in advance is an important goal in sustainable construction project management. To prevent delays, a feasible plan must be implemented, which reflects limited resources and provides reliable activity information. For this purpose, this study proposes a generalized resource-constrained critical path method (eRCPM). It consists of three steps to identify resource-dependent activity relationships (resource links) based on the result of resource-constrained scheduling (RCS) under multiple resource constraints. Compared to the existing resource-constrained critical path methods, the eRCPM has the advantage of identifying resource links irrespective of the applied RCS technique because it is based on the result rather than the RCS process. Further, this study presents a Microsoft (MS) Excel-based half-automated prototype system that is linked using file export and import functions to both P6 and MS Project software packages. The detailed process of the eRCPM algorithm and the operation process of the prototype system are described using an example schedule. Through a case study, it was demonstrated that eRCPM appropriately identifies the necessary resource links and provides reliable total floats.

Construction projects are commonly scheduled by the critical path method or its similar methods, with the assumption that resources are unlimited. The ranked positional weight method, which may be used for project scheduling and resource allocation for both constrained and unconstrained resource scheduling, is found to be relatively easy in application. In construction, the availability of resources is sometimes limited and this leads to an extension of project duration. The critical path method and similar approaches cannot provide an answer in this scenario. A bridge construction project is used to illustrate how the method can be applied.Key words: scheduling, resource allocation, ranked positional weight method.

Scheduling of construction projects is normally performed with the critical path method (CPM). The popular CPM/PERT network techniques are based on the assumption that sufficient resources will be available when needed to complete all project activities on schedule. This unrealistic assumption can lead to ineffective resource usage and project delays. For scheduling of the project activities with resource constraints, other algorithms have to be used. This technical note first outlines the suitability of ranked positional weight method (RPWM), a heuristic resource scheduling method, to construction project scheduling. It then focuses on a new heuristic technique, the enhanced positional weight method (EPWM), which is an improved version of the RPWM. Some interesting comparisons between the results given by Primavera, Microsoft Project, RPWM, and EPWM are also presented.Key words: ranked positional weight method, enhanced positional weight method, and critical path method.

This research purposes to evaluate the implementation of the drainage project in Jl. Mulawarman, Gg. Arjuna, Sepinggan. This research uses the CPM (Critical Path Method) and the PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique). Based on the budget plan, time schedule, weekly report, documentation and interview found that the result of the CPM with two critical paths are work activities. The first critical path are: Activity A (Mobilization and Demobilization), Activity C (Landfilling activity), Activity F (Concrete works K-175, Ready Mix). The second critical path are: Activity A (Mobilization and Demobilization), Activity E (Begisting work for black channels), and Activity G (Plain U24 Concrete Iron Works). Meanwhile, the result of PERT has 49% chance to be completed with the project duration of 18 weeks.

A review of the recent literature on the models that focus on resource leveling in Critical Path Method networks shows that different objective functions have been used to optimize resource utilization. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impacts of using different objective functions on resource utilization histograms in Critical Path Method networks. For this purpose, nine different resource leveling objective functions were optimized via a genetic algorithm-based model. The model was developed using actual data obtained from a steel framed industrial building construction project. It was found that each of these objective functions generates different resource utilization histograms. In order to determine the improvement levels achieved by resource leveling using nine different objective functions, the improvement percentage in each parameter and the average improvement percentage for each objective function were calculated. Even though the objective function that involves the minimization of the sum of the square of the deviations in daily resource usage provided the best average improvement percentage in the studied case, another objective function(s) may provide better average improvement percentage in different projects. The contractor should consider all objective functions for resource leveling and select the one(s) that provides the best average improvement percentage.

This paper describes the factors affecting resource based scheduling and the barrier/constraints against the implementation of resource based scheduling in Indian construction project. However the traditional methods such as critical path method and program evaluation and review technique are based on time but actual work is not completed on time. Hence it becomes essential to follow a resource based schedule which is based on actual availability of resource to meet the project deadline. This paper mainly focuses the resource oriented scheduling techniques and it is helpful to investigate the implementation of scheduling, type of scheduling adopted, method of scheduling, status of scheduling implementation in various construction firm. The questionnaire survey was conducted to determine the factors affecting resource oriented scheduling implementation and barriers/constraints against its implementation in the Indian construction project. The collected data was analyzed using statistical tool. Prioritization of the factors by frequency analysis and average index method was carried out. The barriers/constraints against implementation of resource scheduling were identified and presented. Suitable suggestions for the Indian construction companies were given to promote and motivate the professionals entering the firm at the initial stage about the concepts of resource scheduling so that they have a genuine commitment in the implementation of resource scheduling.
