dc.description.abstract ABSTRACT: Time Management is a process of planning, scheduling and control over the amount of time spent in specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, or productivity. Planning of construction projects differ in size, type, and nature. Bar charts are generally popular, easy and good for small projects; network diagrams like Critical Path Method (CPM) are used for medium to large size projects, while the line of balance technique is used for big linear projects and repetitive actions. Location based scheduling is a deviation of line of balance technique, which is graphical line showing the movement of crew’s productivity and continuity of two dimensional coordinate system using the location and time. A modified method have been evolved with the use of computer software called Vico office which uses Location Based Scheduling (LBS) in the form of flow line scheduling, which is a combination of CPM and Linear Scheduling Method(LSM) with which, one can deal with small, medium and big projects in planning and scheduling. Every type of planning has advantages and disadvantages.CPM algorithm is designed for optimizing project duration rather than dealing the balancing of resource constraints to ensure easy productivity of crews from unit to unit as the LSM does. This study will use the modified LBS method for a case study of 3 floor villa which represents as a small project. Both scheduling tools, CPM/Bar chart and LBS, will be used to schedule the villa and a comparison between the two methods with their limitations and advantages will be discussed. The results of the LBS scheduling through the case study showed that the LBS scheduling can work on small projects, can be easily planned, and it gave some advantageous results than the traditional CPM/Barchart scheduling method. Keywords: Time Management, Line of Balance, Location Based Scheduling, Critical Path Method, Bar Charts. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Time management belirli aktivitelerde planlama, zamanlama ve harcanılan zaman miktarını kontrol eden bir asamadır, özellikle geçerliligi, verimi veya üretkenligi artırır. Bnsaat projelerinin planlanması boyutuna, çesidine ve yapısına göre farklıdır. Genelde Bar chart’lar popülerdir, küçük projeler için kullanımı kolay ve daha iyidir; Network diagram’larda Critical Path Method (CPM)‘dun orta ve büyük boyutlu projelerde kulanıldıgı gibi, aynı zamanda Line of Balance tekniklerinin büyük çizgisel projelerde ve tekrarlı çalısmalarda kullanılmasıdır. Location based scheduling line of balancei teknik çizgisinin bir sapmasıdır, grafiksel çizgi crew’s productivity ‘nin hareketini ve iki boyutlu koordinat sisteminin sürekliligini ve zaman’ı kullanarak göstermektedir. Vico Office olarak adlandırılan bilgisayar programı kullanarak modifiye edilmis bir method gelistirildi. Bu method esas konum çizelgesini (LBS) akıs hat çizelgesi formunda kullanmakta, bu da Critical Path Method ve Linear scheduling method (LSM) ile hangi küçük, orta veya büyük projelerin ele alına bileceginin planlamada ve çizelgede birlesimidir. Her çesit planlamanın avantajları ve dezavantajları vardır. CPM algorithm proje süresini iyilestirmeden ziyade sınırlı kaynakların dengelenmede ve crews’ in kolay üretkenligini LSM’ de oldugu gibi birimden birime saglamakla iliskilidir. Bu çalısmada modifiye edilmis LBS method ile küçük bir projeyi temsil eden 3 katlı bir villa örnek olarak kullanılacaktır. Her iki çizelge aletleri, CPM/Bar chart ve LBS, villa’nın programlanmasında kullanılcak ve aynı zamanda iki method’un limitleri ve avantajları karsılastırılıp tartısılacaktır. LBS çizelgesinin sonuçları örnek villa ile küçük projelerde çalısılabilecegini gösterdi, kolayca planlana bilmektedir, ve traditional CPM/Bar chart çizelgesi method’undan daha fazla avantaj saglamaktadır.
