ABSTRACT
The proposed methodology involves setting up a
“model-based” schedule by using Advanced Line
of Balance (ALoB) and using historical company-
specific data to adjust it.
Themodel-basedmaster schedule is built first by
dividing the project into different sections such as
building 1, building 2 and building 3, and then into
different phases such as earthwork/foundation,
superstructure/roof, and interior works if this
is a building project. The next step is to create a
list of activities for each phase. The durations of
these activities are estimated using historical data
obtained from company archives. Some of the
activities are then combined into sets of “combined
activities” that are easier to manage and control.
Combined activities are balanced (synchronized)
in such a way as to achieve a reliable, risk free
