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.
