A Systems Analysis And Design Model To Initiate Scheduling Of Construction Activities In Renovation Of A Major Building

A Systems Analysis and Design (SA&D) model is presented in this paper that is important for engineering management (EMGT) educators to help their students to solve complex project management and scheduling problems. The SA&D model discussed here was developed to provide a scheduling process for a large construction project in a major city in the United States. The paper will attempt to answer such critical issues as sequencing, timeline analysis, seasonal factors, and lead/lag time of the project. A scheduling model that makes use of SA&D is described. The model was required to incorporate sequencing, timeline analysis, seasonal factors, and lead/log time for the project. Also, this paper discusses the relevance of the SA&D in the EMGT education, and how students will benefit from this model.
