- Abstract:
Many projects, such as the construction of roadways, pipelines, and high‐rise buildings, involve repetitive activities. A method for scheduling such work, the Linear Scheduling Method (LSM) is presented. In an LSM schedule, the repetitive activities are plotted as lines of constant or varying slopes on two axes, distance versus time. Discrete activities may be shown at their appropriate times and locations and then referenced to a network schedule for additional detail. The Linear Scheduling Method is illustrated by applying it to an actual roadway construction project. The simplicity of the system and advantages for certain types of projects are revealed. A sample schedule is used to derive information that is comparable to what may be obtained from an equivalent CPM network.
