Abstract

Since existing LOB scheduling methods are deterministic methods, they are hard to handle uncertainties at repetitive projects. Meanwhile, principle of LOB method is natural rhythm that allows crews to continuously engage in each unit. This paper proposes a line of balance method with considering uncertainty and natural rhythm involved in activity durations. The proposed method allows schedulers to effectively dealing with the uncertainties of a repetitive project. A case study is demonstrated to verify and validate the capability of the proposed method in a repetitive construction project planning.
