Project scheduling is important to the completion of a project. Since having delay, out of
inventory and budget overrun make the failure of the project, project managers shall be
able to handle a project with a certain scheduling decision making tool accordingly. A
good technique for scheduling the project is required such that a proper manageable
schedule can be suggested. In this thesis, the discussion on the integration approach,
which combines Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), Gantt Chart (GC)
and Genetic Algorithm (GA), is carried out. However, there are another techniques that
have been considered before choosing that techniques which are Critical Path Method
(CPM) and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The aims are (1) to review the existing
scheduling techniques, (2) to propose an integrated approach for solving the scheduling
problem in the construction industry, and (3) to compare the applicable of the approach
proposed with the existing techniques. For doing so, three steps are taken into account.
First, doing the integration of PERT and GC, where Earliest Start time (ES) and Earliest
Finish time (EF) are calculated. Second, is applying GA to the existing integration
approach. In GA procedure, the chromosome is generated randomly to obtain the gene
of parents. Further from this, the gene of offspring is refined through the operators of
crossover and mutation. Third, the diagram of GC is depicted. For illustration, a set of
the real data obtained from a construction company is studied. The project is to build the
bounding walls at four different roads in Pasir Gudang, Johor Bharu. By using the
approach proposed, a comprehensive schedule is produced, where the finishing time of
the project is six day earlier or 6.06% than the original finishing time, which is 99 days.
In conclusion, the efficiency of the approach proposed is highly recommended for
project managers in developing an effective schedule. |
