Abstract

Abstract: In this article the method of minimization of downtime in scheduling construction works is presented. Essentially, the method is based on the assumption of brigade multitasking. This phenomenon is currently being noticed at Polish construction sites. The goal of the author was to develop a method based on mathematic removal of downtime which would let take advantage of the brigade multitasking at the stage of processing the scheduling of construction works. In this article the description of the method is presented, as well as an example of its application.
