The Review of Project Management Based on the Theory of Constraints and Critical Chain

Abstract

Abstract. The relationship between precedence and successor activities is the only factor that determined the project scheduling in the traditional project scheduling management. The critical chain-an elegant solution, on the other hand, takes resource limitations into account and is composed of sections that are dependent on successor relationships and other sections that are dependent on resource constraint. By integrating the existing research findings, it is the objective of this paper to highlight the merits and pitfalls of the CCPM scheduling method, such as the principle for project delays, the critical chain identification; the time buffer setting and project scheduling with limited capacity of a resource. Furthermore, it also presidents the difficulties when implementing the critical chain approach and conclude with a description of our ongoing research direction.

Standardization of the Results and Achievement Evaluation of Government Supervision Organizations for Construction Quality

“…Supervision and inspection forms should be formulated unified form respectively to standardize form contents, standardize forms signed formalities, promote the supervision work continuously and perfect the supervision files according to the beforehand supervision content, matter supervision content and after monitoring that standardized supervision procedure demands. The concrete supervision form contents during the supervision before the project starts include 12 kinds of form such as records of supervision to view drawings, the told book of supervision of construction quality, the selective examination table of the personnel that participates construction and supervision schemes, supervision and inspection table of engineering contract and so on; there are 44 kinds of forms such as selective examination tables of quality management system implementation of all the participating units, selective examination tables about engineering contract execution, selective examination tables of supervision for construction quality and so on in the engineering construction process [5] ; 14 kinds of form such as supervision and inspection records of the foundation project quality, comprehensive supervision and evaluation tables of foundation engineering quality, quality acceptance supervision records of unit engineering and so on are included during project acceptance and supervision, and the detailed are shown in the standardization work manual.…”
