EPC Project Schedule Control Study

With the rapid development of China’s construction market, the number of projects using EPC general contracting mode is gradually increasing. Although the EPC model is very suitable for the development needs of the construction market, it also has many problems of its own. Based on DEMATEL-ISM algorithm, this paper distinguishes EPC project schedule influencing factors into root influencing factors and surface influencing factors and obtains the relevant hierarchical diagram. On this basis, the critical chain technology is introduced to construct the EPC project schedule control model, and the comprehensive hospital construction project is analyzed as an example, and the critical chain technology is used to determine its critical path and critical chain and set the buffer zone. The results show that the established EPC project schedule control model is simple in operation and can effectively realize resource management and schedule optimization, providing a scientific and effective reference for decision makers.

Abstract

With the rapid development of China’s construction market, the number of projects using EPC general contracting mode is gradually increasing. Although the EPC model is very suitable for the development needs of the construction market, it also has many problems of its own. Based on DEMATEL-ISM algorithm, this paper distinguishes EPC project schedule influencing factors into root influencing factors and surface influencing factors and obtains the relevant hierarchical diagram. On this basis, the critical chain technology is introduced to construct the EPC project schedule control model, and the comprehensive hospital construction project is analyzed as an example, and the critical chain technology is used to determine its critical path and critical chain and set the buffer zone. The results show that the established EPC project schedule control model is simple in operation and can effectively realize resource management and schedule optimization, providing a scientific and effective reference for decision makers.
