Linear Scheduling Method, LSM, has been known for a long time with several variations and several names. It is basically a graphical scheduling method where the project can be displayed as a few simple lines, with slope reflecting production. Although it started in the manufacturing industry, many experts argue that it is a good and suitable method for certain types of construction projects, mainly “linear” projects such as roads and utility works. It can also apply to projects with repetitive activities such as high-rise buildings. This seminar takes a quick glimpse on this method which is trying to assert its place in the construction industry.

Who Should Attend
This Webinar is important for planners, schedulers, cost estimators, project controls engineers and managers, project managers, and the entire project management team.
Why Should You Attend
This Webinar covers an important method for scheduling certain types of construction projects, particularly horizontal projects such as roads, bridges, tunnels, and utility works. It gives planners and schedulers for construction projects an alternative to the critical path method. Both methods are important but each works best for different types of projects.
Topic Background
Linear Scheduling Method, LSM, is another method for scheduling construction projects. It is fit for certain types of projects. It is simple to understand and apply.
