Scheduling Logistic Support
Herbert M. Priluck · Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction · 1997
When scheduling logistic support for a project in conjunction with the project's critical path method (CPM) schedule, logistic support items should not be included as activities on the project CPM schedule. Logistics support should be scheduled using an algorithm that facilitates the early start of the CPM schedule activities. This approach avoids the unnecessary costs of procuring resources before they can be effectively utilized. A field-proven algorithm, Priluck's logistic algorithm (PLA), is demonstrated.
