Sustainable Project Schedule Management Using Pinch Analysis

Project schedule management involves the proper allocation of resources, such as manpower. Human resource allocation practices generally lack a systematic method that will allow project managers to provide simple and sustainable planning solutions. A new scheduling methodology is proposed in this wo...
