Construction Planning and Manageability Prediction

The Construction Planning and Manageability Prediction (CM) System builds a master plan and schedule that explicitly represents planned construction methods and resource utilization. The system simulates the schedule and identifies potential risks causing difficulties during construction. An automated diagnosis procedure analyzes the simulation results to identify potential risk factors in the plan and schedule in order to help a project manager assess project manageability. This paper also discusses the knowledge structure for construction planning and manageability design in the knowledge-based computer tool.
