  2. The Four Types Relationships • Activities represented by nodes and links that allow the use of four relationships: 1) Finish to Start – FS 2) Start to Finish – SF 3) Finish to Finish – FF 4) Start to Start – SS

  3. Finish to Start (FS) Relationship . The traditional relationship between activities. . Implies that the preceding activity must finish before the succeeding activities can start. . Example: the plaster must be finished before the tile can start. Plaster Tile

  4. Star to Finish (SF) Relationship . Appear illogical or irrational. . Typically used with delay time OR LAG. . The following examples proofs that its logical: if I start ordering concrete I can finish pouring. Can I finish pouring without ordering? Erect formwork steel reinforcement Pour concrete 5 SF Order concrete

  5. Finish to Finish (FF) Relationship • Both activities must finish at the same time. • Can be used where activities can overlap to a certain limit. Erect scaffolding Remove Old paint FF/1 sanding FF/2 Dismantle scaffolding painting inspect

  6. Start to Start (SS) Relationship • This method is uncommon and rarely exists in project construction . Clean surface Spread grout SS Set tile Clean floor area

  7. Advantages of using Precedence Diagram • No dummy activities are required. • A single number can be assigned to identify each activity. • 3. Analytical solution is simpler.

  8. Calculation • forward calculations • EF = ES + D • Calculate the Lag • LAGAB = ESB – EFA • Calculate the Free Float • FF = Min. (LAG)

  9. 2) Backward calculations For the last task LF=EF , if no information deny that. LS=LF-D Calculate Total Float TF = LS – ES OR LF – EF TFi = Min (lag ij + TFj ) Determine the Critical Path

  12. Resource Allocation and Resource Leveling 6

  13. CATEGORIES OF RESOURCES • Labor • Materials • Equipment’s.

  14. Labor 1. Salaried staff: like-project engineer, secretary. 2. Hourly workers: like-carpenters. Equipment and Materials 1. Construction equipment and materials 2. Installed equipment and materials

  15. What is resource allocation? Resource allocation(resource loading) : Is the assignment of the required resources to each activity, in the required amount and timing. What Is Resource Leveling? Is minimizing the fluctuations in day-to-day resource use throughout the project. It is usually done by shifting noncritical activities within their available float. It attempts to make the daily use of a certain resource as uniform as possible.

  16. Why level Resources? 1. When the contractor adds the daily total demand for a specific resource for all activities he must provide the required amount, or work will be delayed. 2. Leveling may also be necessary for an expensive piece of equipment. 3. The main idea of resource leveling is to improvework efficiencyand minimize costduring the life of the project. Note: In general, materials do not need to be leveled

  17. Leveling Resources in a Project • Resource leveling is a mathematically complex process. • The resource-leveling method is called the minimum moment algorithm. • discussed by Robert B. Harris (1978) in his classic textbook, Precedence and Arrow Networking Techniques for Construction

  18. Resource Profiles Resource need Actual, not leveled Leveled, realistic Ideal Time

  19. Sort Sort : the process of arranging activities in a list to certain specific order.

  20. Priorities & Sorts • The activities making up the network must be listed in order of their priority of resources allocation. • The network shows the logical sequence of activities. (predecessor and successor). • The listing of activities must therefore reflects the dependency of some activities .

  21. Activities Sort Activity sort reflects the logic sequence of the network.

  22. Major Sort Activity sort with ES time as Major sort

  23. Major & Minor Sorts Activity sort with ES time as Major sort & TF as Minor Sort

  26. Resource Aggregation Resources aggregation: is a summation of the resources that are used to carry out the program on a time period basis. For example, day to day , or week to week.

  28. Late start • Another histogram can be obtained if Late start considered. Shows different resources demand. • And many histograms can be obtained considering a different time in the network. • Each histogram shows different resources demand.
