- Abstract:
The problem of scheduling a project for which expensive, long-lead inventory items have to be ordered form outside vendors is addressed. A logic aimed at minimizing the cost of such projects is presented along either an illustrated example. The logic is based on adding a material management module to the CPM analysis, evaluating the feasibility of the CPM schedule, and rescheduling the project in case long-lead items make the schedule generated by CPM infeasible. An attempt to integrate CPM and material management in a large-scale construction project is reported and possible extensions of this research are suggested.
