In projects where mufti-project management is required and processes for production activities are repeated and linked, it is very difficult to input processes for activity repeatedly or analyze loads by process in a method of managing processes step by step. In this paper, based on the definition of activity and project process, the connection process can be automatically created for activity, schedule and resource management for each process, schedule and resource plan can be established for each detailed process, and load analysis can be provided in real time. It presents a project management system that can significantly improve the time and cost of project progress management, predict various problems that may occur during the project, and effectively allocate the necessary amount of resources in the right place.

R'||'&'||'D project management is a process of decisions concerned with the achievement of goals of objectives. Especially, defense R'||'&'||'D project planning is the key in the successfull management of defense development. The defense project managers are constantly having to perform "what if\ulcorner" exercise, such as what if the project is extended out for an additional cost\ulcorner In this reserch, we developed a schedule-cost analysis model based upon Critical Path Method(CPM) and Venture Evaluation and Review Technique(VERT) for schedule-cost trade off analysis defense R'||'&'||'D projects. In the first step, a deterministic model is developed as a heuristic which deterministic model is developed as a heuristic which determines the schedule extension and reduction cost as a function desired schedule. In the second step, a stochastic network simulation model is developed to analyse the project risk (sucess and failure). The expected time and cost can be determined for desired schedule under the assumptions of stochastic arc data (time and cost) with a various precedence relationships. This model provides the defense R'||'&'||'D managers with an estimated and expected cost for curtailing or extending a project a given amount of time. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methods, a heuristic and stochastic networks simulations, have been demonstrated through examples.

Many efforts have been made and many tools have been developed in order to manage construction projects by a smart device such as a smart phone and smart pad. This research proposed a method to manage construction schedules via a smart device using Flash. The interactive and graphic property of Flash enables a field manager to manage schedules easily and efficiently. A prototype was implemented by Adobe Flex Builder, and it applied a sample network in a smart pad. Further studies would develop network diagrams such as CPM(Critical Path Method).

The reason why most scheduling softwares currently using at construction projects adopt PDM (Precedence Diagramming Method) is that it can express an overlapping relationship between activities. However, the overlapping relationships in PDM are represented only by combinations of four overlapping types that connect the start and finish points of two activities, therefore, PDM cannot express efficiently the relationships between any middle points of two activities if they should be represented. This research proposes the method of transforming the four overlapping types of PDM to the overlapping relationships of BDM(Beeline Diagramming Method), new networking technique, that can connect the inter-relationships at any middle points of two activities as well as express multiple overlapping relationships. The proposed method will help not only to improve an efficiency of scheduling but also to upgrade the scheduling technique because BDM technique has a lot of unique advantages in scheduling.

This paper presents a system called a Cash-flow based Construction Schedule Optimization system(CfSO). The existing CPM effectively handles schedule and cost management. However, funding strategy should be considered to obtain maximum profit and to progress a project favorably. One of measures is to coordinate the contract terms between owner and subcontractors (or suppliers). Contractor may decrease the interest cost attributed to project financing by adjusting the timing of cash-inflows and cash-outflows. It is an excellent method maximizing profits. This paper presents a method to estimate the amount of a cash-flow occurred periodically by integrating the terms of contract into scheduling. The proposed method is implemented as a system prototype in Microsoft Excel. This system provides a user an automated tool that identifies an optimal schedule that secures maximum profit by adjusting start and finish times of non-critical activities' free-floats without affecting on the project completion time. This system supports a project manager to establish an optimum project schedule and identifies profitable contractual conditions against to a construction owner.

Critical Path-based project management has been applied to the construction projects with a goal of delivering projects within original costs and time estimates. These current project management methods, rarely make early finishes of construction Projects. In addition, current practices on time management seems not to take advantages of early finishes concepts due to student syndrome and Parkinson's Law, This research study applied the Theory of Constraints(n) in the estimation of construction project duration. While the TOC includes variety of management techniques, in this study, it refers to critical chain that has been used to develop the specific management technique in scheduling. The concept of critical chain is applied to this study to solve the problems associated with the current scheduling method. The efforts focus to solve the p개blems associated with current construction project scheduling methods by adopting both stochastic estimation technique and the concept of schedule buffer,

Recently the technical advances and complexities have generated much of the difficulties in managing the project resources, for both scheduling and costing to accomplish the project in the most efficient manner. The project manager is frequently required to render judgments concerning the schedule and resource adjustments. This research develops an analytical model for a schedule-cost and risk analysis based on visual PERT/CPM. We used a three-step approach: 1) in the first step, a deterministic PERT/CPM model for the critical path and estimating the project time schedule and related resource planning and we developed a heuristic model for crash and stretch out analysis based upon a time-cost trade-off associated with the crash and stretch out of the project. 2) In second step, we developed web-based risk evaluation model for project analysis. Major technologies used for this step are AHP (analytic hierarchy process, fuzzy-AHP, multi-attribute analysis, stochastic network simulation, and web based decision support system. Also we have developed computer programs and have shown the results of sample runs for an R&D project risk analysis. 3) We developed an optimization model for project resource allocation. We used AHP weighted values and optimization methods. Computer implementation for this model is provided based on GUI-Type objective-oriented programming for the users and provided displays of all the inputs and outputs in the form of GUI-Type. The results of this research will provide the project managers with efficient management tools.

In the construction process, there are many change orders differing to the initial contracts came from the social needs and environmental changes. Most of them will impact to the construction process so that its effects occur project delays. Time extension and liquidated damage in the construction process come from schedule delay whether it is excusable or not non-excusable by the owner. However, those become the delay claims if the owner and the contractor are not agreed on this situation. One of the most important thing on the delay claims is the calculation of delay. The purpose of this study is to present the method of the time delay calculation by comparison of As-Planned schedule, As-Built schedule including all delay and As-Built schedule absent owner delay.

Linear scheduling method limits to present works of work breakdown structure as a form of lines and was often developed manually. In other words, linear schedule could not utilize activity, work breakdown structure, and etc. information of network schedule such as CPM(Critical Path Method) and has been used only for reporting or confirming construction master plan. Therefore, it is necessary to develop system which can automatically generating the linear schedule based on the network schedule having many accumulated and useful construction schedule information. Thus, this research has an effort to establish data process model, data flow diagram, and data model in order to make linear schedule. In addition, this research addresses the system solution structure, user interface class diagram and logic diagram, and data type schema. The results of this paper can be used as a preliminary research for developing linear schedule generating system prototype by utilizing the network schedule information.

Today, most construction projects have been higher, bigger, and more complicated gradually. So the domestic construction companies have been trying to understand overall construction process and relationships between activities, and adopted various management techniques and tools in order to perform a systematic and effective scheduling. However numerous problems have been occurred on the practical applications because most existing scheduling softwares adapt ADM and PDM techniques. One of them, PDM, is so uneffective because it represents the overlapping relationships between two consecutive activities only by the combinations of start and finish points between two activities. In order to supplement the demerit of PDM, Beeline Diagramming Method(BDM) is proposed as a new networking technique, it can represent two-way multiple overlapping relationships between two activities directly. However there are occurring a loop phenomenon on applying two-way multiple overlapping relationships. This research proposes and verifies the schedule computation method of two-way multiple overlapping relationships on the BDM network.
