Application of Line Of Balance Scheduling

Technique (LOBST) for a Real estate sector

ABSTRACT:

This paper reports one aspect of a Repetitive Scheduling Method (RSM) or Line Of Balance

Scheduling Technique(LOBST) applied for a housing project having project activities repetitive in

nature. Linear scheduling methods are planning and scheduling techniques mostly used in

construction and manufacturing industries where repetitive operations are abundant. The Line-OfBalance Scheduling Technique (LOBST) is a linear scheduling method that allows the balancing

of the operations such that each activity is continuously and efficiently performed in each

consecutive unit. Some construction projects that involve sets of tasks organized in repeating

sequences are similar to continuous manufacturing processes in their structure. The basic concepts

of LOBST have been applied in the construction industry as a planning and scheduling method

Examples of such projects include pavement construction, multihousing projects, and high rise

building construction....
