  2. Linear scheduling method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scheduling_method

    LSM is used mainly in the construction industry to schedule resources in repetitive activities commonly found in highway, pipeline, high-rise building and rail construction projects. These projects are called repetitive or linear projects.

  3. Fast-track construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-track_construction

    The CM would advise the architect and owner on cost and construction technology during the design phase and would estimate the total cost. The architect would complete the construction drawings and specifications in phases and the CM would take open, competitive bids for those phases of the work, overlapping the design and construction activities.

  4. Bottleneck (production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottleneck_(production)

    Step 1) Re-evaluate the maximum load of every machine, process or work center when accepting a new order. Step 2) Find the bottleneck in the system and identify its surplus capacity. Step 3) Fill the bottlenecks surplus capacity. Step 4) Find out the release time of the material as a result of the new bottlenecks scheduling.

  5. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    Buffer capacity falls to 33% of the maximum value at pH = pK a ± 1, to 10% at pH = pK a ± 1.5 and to 1% at pH = pK a ± 2. For this reason the most useful range is approximately p K a ± 1. When choosing a buffer for use at a specific pH, it should have a p K a value as close as possible to that pH.

  6. Material requirements planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_requirements_planning

    Output 1 is the "Recommended Production Schedule." This lays out a detailed schedule of the required minimum start and completion dates, with quantities, for each step of the Routing and Bill Of Material required to satisfy the demand from the master production schedule (MPS). Output 2 is the "Recommended Purchasing Schedule."

  7. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time–distance_diagram

    A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

  8. Acid neutralizing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_neutralizing_capacity

    Acid-neutralizing capacity or ANC in short is a measure for the overall buffering capacity against acidification of a solution, e.g. surface water or soil water.. ANC is defined as the difference between cations of strong bases and anions of strong acids (see below), or dynamically as the amount of acid needed to change the pH value from the sample's value to a chosen different value. [1]

  9. Schedule (project management) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedule_(project_management)

    In many industries, such as engineering and construction, the development and maintenance of the project schedule is the responsibility of a full-time scheduler or team of schedulers, depending on the size and the scope of the project. The techniques of scheduling are well developed [1] but inconsistently applied throughout industry.
