Dynamic scheduling in construction projects

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the theoretical foundations of dynamic scheduling in construction projects and provide some recommendations for further research. While the theory of "static" scheduling is the most developed, much less attention is paid to "dynamic" scheduling. At the same time, research shows that "dynamic" scheduling is most suitable for construction industry, especially for complex and large projects. To achieve the aim of the study, such tasks as (1) the formulation of the problem associated with insufficient elaboration scheduling dynamism and complexity issues in construction; (2) a review of the scientific literature on this problem; (3) the formation of some possible directions for the development of the theory of dynamic scheduling, were solved. Research methods are: analysis, synthesis, review of scientific literature. The result of the study is recommendations on one of the directions of dynamic scheduling theoretical foundations’ development in construction projects, namely scheduling visualization techniques on the example of the "spring chart" developed by the author. The relevance of the results is due to the fact that the developed recommendations can be useful to researchers in the field of project scheduling for a systematic study of the problem.
