Application of the CCPM in Construction Project

Abstract

In today's competitive market, completing a job in the shortest amount of time is critical. Current project management approaches are unrealistic and inadequate in terms of scheduling, monitoring, and failure to manage uncertainty, resulting in a lack of project control and failure to meet deadlines. Non-availability of resources at the appropriate moment, multi-tasking by workers, uncertainty, and ineffective project planning are all key contributors to delays. Constraints have an impact on project success and complicate project management. These can escalate into disagreements and disputes, resulting in direct and indirect costs for clients and contractors. It is critical to identify potential constraints in the building project, as this will aid in reducing excessive waste and loss of both money and time due to poor planning. Critical Path Strategy (CPM) is a conventional method utilised around the world that results in poor scheduling. Task estimations in CPM are based on guessing, which results in a longer project completion time. In addition, the scheduler does not take resource availability into account while creating optimal schedules. Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), a new project management methodology, was created to address the drawbacks of CPM. The ideal scheduling strategy for a construction project is determined in this research by scheduling a real-time project using both standard CPM and developing CCPM methods. The purpose of this inquiry is to present a more accurate picture of critical chain project management (CCPM) framework for the successful implementation of construction projects. Obstructions such project difficulty, resource scarcity, and duration unpredictability are overcome using the construction scheduling technique (CCPM). To ensure good schedule management, buffer sizing and multiple resource levelling are essential. By incorporating the numerous uncertainties that affect construction scheduling, the suggested framework enhances buffer sizing. According to the outcomes of a real-time case study of a construction project in India, the suggested strategy surpassed existing buffer design approaches by producing buffers with realistic sizes and adequate robustness.
