An application of Time-Cost Trade-off for Construction Projects
Existing methods dealing with the time-cost tradeoff problem, which is encountered in project planning, have focused on the solution of a basic problem that does not adequately represent actual engineering projects.Time-cost situations focus on reducing the critical path that determines the project completion date. This paper analyzes the relationship between time and cost,, and then deduces duration optimization condition on the basis of critical path and the optimization condition considering uncritical path. At last, it applies the conclusions into an engineering case, and the result shows that obtained conclusions are convenient and feasible, it provides scientific basis for management decision and supports the project manager powerfully.
