Infrastructure

The critical path method is widely used but often falls short for scheduling linear tasks in projects such as road construction, tunnels, pipelines and high-rise buildings, where activities repeat at various sections. CPM struggles with arbitrarily dividing these repetitive tasks and maintaining resource continuity. It also requires many activities to depict linear projects, fails to show progress rates and does not accurately reflect real-time project conditions or indicate where work is currently taking place on site. This makes CPM less effective for managing linear construction projects.

Tactplan provides a solution to address the challenges encountered in CPM scheduling. Using Tactplan Schedule, you can transform your Gantt chart into a line of balance (LOB) (Flowline). When implementing Tactplan, there is no need to disrupt continuous or repetitive activities arbitrarily. It ensures the seamless continuity of resources, allowing for the easy determination of the work-in-progress location on any given day based on the schedule.
