| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 營建管理研究所 === 107 === As the complexity and scale of construction projects are increased, to manage them with good performances is not an easy work gradually. Most schedulers perform scheduling works by critical path method. However, in Taiwan, they rarely update schedule continuely during construction stage to obtain updated schedule information. In such a way, it is impossible to identify whether the critical path(s) is changed and activity’s floats is comsumed, as well as lacking of the function of a schedule for schedule control and early warning. When the performance of project schedule management is bad, it usually results in completing a project later than contract due date and furthermore having disputes between contract paties. Although there are many schedule delay analysis and liability allocation methods, they common require intensive resources and time to complete analysis works manually. Even several project management software (PMS) provide many functions for planning and controlling schedules, they cannot help scheduler solving the problems in schedule management and schedule delay analysis in practice. Therefore, this study develops two automated calculation functions embedded in PMS for the floats and delay analysis. For achieving above research objective, this study first reviews floats definition and delay analysis methods in the literature and PMSs, clarifies the correct float calculation approaches and then develops two independent programs. This study has verified the correctness of developed programs that can be used to help schedulers doing their works without tedious manual calculations and errors, but with shortened calculation time and improved performance. The outcomes by the developed programs offers schedulers to control their schedules more effective and to allocate the responsibility of schedule delays easier. Hopefully, the research outcomes provide a tool for schedulers to make better use of schedules, and further improve the performance of schedule management and delay resolution in Taiwan.
