Construction Scheduling Of Afcs Facilities Skill Report PDF Download

The report presents the results of the first phase of a research project to develop two scheduling programs: one for the Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE) and the other for engineer units. The first phase of the study aims to establish procedural frameworks for the two programs. Several existing computer programs were analyzed to see if their scheduling features can be adapted to the proposed programs. Based on this analysis and guidance received from representatives of the Army Facilities Components System (AFCS) and the Army Engineer School, the study developed a procedural framework for the scheduling programs, specifically a Critical Path Method (CPM) based scheduling technique for the program to be used at OCE and a priority-based resource scheduling method for the one to be used by engineer battalions, groups, brigades, or commands.
