COMPUTERISED NETWORK SCHEDULING AND MONITORING IN CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The relevonce and importance of management techniques in construction is brought out in this report. In all projets one is concerned with developing an optimal and workable plan of the activities that make up the project including a speci-fication of their interrelationships. It is inevitable in a project that delays and changes are likely to occur due to unavoidable reasons. So updating at suitable intervals is necessary. For a small project hand computation can be adopted. But due to complexities arising in construction process the use of computer program is most suitable. A program for updating purpose has been presented followed by the scheduling and bar chart programs. Two live projects haVe been taken as case studies. The importance of scheduling and monitoring of projects has been brought out by reviewing the case studies. To illustrate the monitoring program one example has been presented with two different cases. To illustrate the program in the live project, a part of one of the case studies has been taken and revised. The results containing basic data, revised data, schedule and bar charts of all examples have been presented.
