WORK SCHEDULING METHOD FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

In comparison with the rapid development of many construction methods and equipment in building construction, efficient application methods have advanced more slowly. Since building construction involves numerous types of work, a comprehensive organizational and management method is very important. The aim of the present study is to establish a work scheduling method for optimum construction and practical use. The authors took part in a number of actual construction projects for this study and propose MAC (Multi-Activity Chart) as a tool for work scheduling and management. The fundamental concept of this method is to organize several work teams with fixed members and to repeat the same work cycle constantly with no idle time. The necessity and significance of work scheduling is clarified and the efficiency of MAC is demonstrated in relation to the learning theory.
