CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 1.1 Allocation of Resources • In the time analysis of networks made so far it was assumed that al1 resources required to carry out the job are available when required. Consideration must be given now to the utilization of resources in planning a project. 1.2 Scheduling Procedure • The process of review of the plan is demonstrated in Figure 1.1. If the determined early start completion time of the project (the completion time assuming that every activity is to start as soon as it is possible to do so) is not acceptable, it can be shortened by revising the overlap between the activities and by allocating more resources to individual activities in order to reduce their durations. Having accepted the earliest completion time of the project, the demand for resources is checked in order not to exceed the planned availability of resources or to produce a fluctuating pattern for their use. 3

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING When smoothing the demand for the resources, the float available on non-critical activities is utilized to adjust the timing of all activities requiring a common resource, so that the best possible pattern of use is achieved for that particular resource within the previously calculated earliest completion time of the project. Resource smoothing is therefore a process of smoothing the peaks and troughs in the total-demand histogram. It gives the answer of the question: how much of the resource will be needed to accomplish the project within the stated time interval. Resource scheduling is needed when there are real 1imits on the resources. Float is here used to adjust the timing of activities so that the imposed resource limits are not exceeded. In some cases, it wi11 not be possible to satisfy these constraints together with the previously calculated ear1iest completion time; then the duration of the project is extended. If the resulting completion time is not acceptable, the plan should be revised the process of refinement of the plan can involve adjustments of a number of variables: logic, overlaps, demand for resources, and output of resources and the level of resources provided. 4

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING When resource smoothing or resource scheduling has produced a satisfactory solution, the start and finish times for each activity are said to be their "scheduled" values. It is probable that few scheduled activities will still offer float. 5

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 6 Figure 1.1: Flow Chart of the Scheduling Procedure

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 1.3Types of Construction Resources • The following classification of resources is usually used in the construction industry: Key resources: These are resources which will be considered in the resource scheduling or resource smoothing process. Secondary resources: Where there is no constraints on the availabi1ity of a resource, it is considered as a secondary resource. It wi11 not be included in the resource smoothing or resource scheduling process. General resources: These resources can be used by al1 or most of the activities of the contract such as site overheads. Each of the general resources is provided as a single unit. It will not be included in the resource smoothing or resource scheduling process.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 1.3.1 Unconstrained Resource Allocation C Resource smoothing objectives: To avoid the period-to-period fluctuations in key resource demands because the hiring and releasing of workers on a short-term basis is inefficient and costly. New employees need time to learn their tasks and even previously employed persons need time to readjust the working conditions of a particular job. To maintain an even flow of application for the resource because the emphasis must be the continuous application of a high-cost resource once itis assigned to the work.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 1.3.2Procedure for Smoothing a Single Resource Prepare a complete activity schedule. Draw a bar chart of the project using early start timing of the activities. Each activity is represented by an open bar. Above each bar put the name of the activity together with the resource rate. Critical activities are to be drawn first so that noncritical activities may be shifted quickly. Beside each bar draw the activity free float as a dashed line adjacent to the upper side of the bar and the activity total float as a dashed 1ine adjacent to the lower side of the bar. Beneath the bar chart show the adjusting steps taken during the smoothing process. Determine resource sum in each time period and calculate the average of resource usage. Obviously there may be one or more activities which have resource rate bigger than this average level. However, any schedule for which peak usage is close to this level will be a nearly optimum schedule.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING Test the demand for the resource allover project period. Shift noncritical activities within their free floats in order to optimize the use of the resource, i.e. to lower peak demand and to raise trough demand. Having shifted a noncritical activity, revise free float of its immediately preceding activity(ies), and show this on the bar chart. Obviously, an activity may be shifted a maximum number of periods equals its total float. Therefore, an activity shifted within its free float may be re-shifted once its free float has been adjusted. The shifting of an activity is shown by the subtraction of its resource rate from resource sum on old positions and the addition of the rate to resource sum on the new positions of the activity. The final position for an activity after smoothing of the resource has been accomplished is shown by the crosshatched bars.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING Example 1.1 A certain contract consists of the activities given in Table 1.1. The key resources Rl and R2 will be used during the course of the contract. For the purpose of this example assume that only resource Rl will be used by the activities. Determine minimum level of the resource required to complete the contract in its early start timing.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING Solution: The contract early start completion time is calculated using the precedence diagram. Figure 1.2. Timings and floats of the activities are given in Table 1.2. These timings and floats are use a to draw the bar chart shown in Figure 1.3 a. Beneath the bar chart are found resource sums on 1ine 0. The corresponding histogram of the resource is also shown in the same figure. Average usage of the resource = 90/18 = 5. Peak usage = 13. The schedule for which peak usage is close to 5 will be a nearly optimum schedule. On weeks 9, 10 and 11 the demand for the resource is high while on weeks 13 through 18 the demand is low. The shifting process will try to transfer the peak usage into the trough usage. This is demonstrated using Figure 1.3 b as follows.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING Activity M has a free float of 7 weeks. The shifting of M by 7 weeks will reduce peak usage on weeks 11 and 12 and give a chance for preceding activities to be shifted. New resource sums are given on line £ 1. Now free float of activity I is increased by 7 weeks. However, activity I will not be shifted-because it has zero resource rate. Activity J has a free float of 8 weeks. The shifting of J by 6 weeks will optimize the use of the resource. New resource sure as are given non line£ 2, Now free float of activity E is increased by 6 weeks and that of F by 3 weeks. Activity L has a free float of 6 weeks. The shifting of L by 2 weeks will optimize the use of the resource. New resource sums are given on lineƩ 3. Now activity H will have a free float of 2 weeks. Activity E has a free float of 10 weeks. Shifting E by 10 weeks will improve the use of the resource. New resource sums are given on line Ʃ. Note that there is no change in free float of activity B. Activity H has a free float of 2 weeks. The shifting of H by 2 weeks will improve resource sums on weeks 10 and 11. New resource sums are given on line = 5.

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING 1. Activity F can be shifted by two week. This wi11 improve the use of the resource. Now any other shifting wi11 not improve resource usage therefore we stop at this point. The final position of the activities is shown by the crosshatched bars. Draw resource histogram and compare it with that shown in Fig. 2.20 a

CHAPTER ONE: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING Solution The information given in Table 1.3 are used to extract total and free floats of the activities, which are listed in Table 1.4. The bar chart shown in Figure 1.6 is then drawn in the manner discussed before. The resource sums given in line Ʃ 0 are compared with the values of the histogram, Figure1.5, and the solution steps are chosen in order to make these resource stuns identical with the values of the preferred histogram. The scheduled timings of the activities are shown by the crosshatched bars in Figure 1.6 and are listed in Table 1.5. 23
