  • Abstract:
    This study attempts to develop a construction scheduling model using a conceptual approach to improve the efficiency of construction resources for a multiple, repetitive construction process (MRCP). It is important for a project manager to arrange the number of horizontal repetitive work areas by each crew group to reduce the work interruption period in MRCP. This study suggests some equations for estimating the optimal number of horizontal repetitive work areas for a crew group and pursued a conceptual model for MRCP, which can reduce the loss in manpower and use of construction equipment that is caused by work interruption periods. A computer program developed for the analysis of MRCP shows an appropriate performance through the application to a case study based on the proposed procedure model in this study. Supposing that there is time to spare in the project completion date, the result of the study shows that cost loss could be greatly reduced by the proposed methodology.
