This is a practitioner's guide to a production system for construction management using flowline scheduling. Covering the entire process of presenting a management system - from design, through measurement, scheduling, and visualisation and control - its emphasis is on reducing cost and increasing quality. With extensive case studies for illustration, this is a practitioner's guide to an entirely new production system for construction managementusing flowline scheduling. Covering the entire process of presenting a comprehensive management system- from design, through measurement, scheduling, and visualization and control-its emphasis is on reducing cost and increasing quality. Drawingits components together into a management system, the authors not only include theory and explanations of how and why it works, but also examine and presenta suite of methods for successful project implementation. Perfect as a how-to guide for researchers and advanced construction students to discover the simple application of the new techniques, and invaluable for acquiring the practical tools for planning and controlling projects.
