Abstract:

The Pre-Construction Management System is a system to aid managers in planning and controlling schedules and manpower requirements for the Design phase of highway projects. The major objectives of this development include the following: (1) to provide projections of the month-by-month demand for design personnel needed to complete a Letting Program, and to gauge how that demand is altered by changes in the Schedule of Lettings; (2) to efficiently schedule projects in parallel, such that each project can be completed as early as possible, with a given limited number of personnel; and (3) to provide up-to-date information on the status of projects, manpower needs, and scheduled milestone dates, for management decision making. The basis for the System includes the following: (1) Critical Path Method, which breaks a project into a set of manageable tasks, and links them in a logical sequence (networks); (2) fourteen networks of design activities, one for each class of project, with activity durations and manpower values defaulted to the average case; (3) modification of default activity durations and manpower requirements; and (4) modification of planning values by an experienced manager as a project becomes better defined and more information becomes available.
