Abstract
Various linear scheduling techniques have been proposed over the years. The limitations on these techniques have been the inability to determine critical activities. Contractors and departments of transportation have identified this need. Recently two different methods have been proposed - the linear scheduling model and the repetitive scheduling method. This paper discusses basic linear scheduling techniques and then the calculation of critical activities of basic linear scheduling elements using the two methods. The results of the two techniques are compared.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
