CONSTRUCTION PLANNING WITH MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION (PART 2): MULTI-SITE SCHEDULING FOR INTERIOR FINISH WORKS

In synchronized multi-site construction, the sequential process is divided into several sub-processes and allocated them in multi sites, so as to perform them simultaneously in the project. In the effect of the synchronized scheduling, the number of workers required daily could be maintained in comparatively flat levels. In this paper, the author considered the construction models with alternatives of work methods, work precedence, durations and resources to be required, and developed the methodologies to create the scheduling using mathematical optimization method. Finally, the methodologies were applied to a sample of the interior finish works and were verified to be meaningful.
