INTRODUCTION OF LEAST COST SCHEDULE AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Abstract: Least cost scheduling of construction projects is obtained by time management with optimum cost which is also termed as crashing. Although papers published in major journals have documented real applications for schedule crashing such as working overtime, working double shifts, adding additional resources, employee productivity, and relaxing activities. The objectives of the paper are to study the algorithms from the previous studies and their impact on the real-life project crashing. And in addition to that the paper discussed the main idea of crashing PERT/CPM network. To achieve such objectives, studies about crashing algorithm/programing, data collection, and PERT/CPM network crashing technique were carefully explored and scrutinized. Suggestions for further research are for preventive actions for nonconformance risk activities may suffer additional cost, and to use this data to create new procedures that incorporate quality concepts into project scheduling difficulties. Keywords: Least Cost Scheduling, Crashing using algorithms, PERT/CPM network.
