Importance of WBS Project Management
The work breakdown structure is used to display the overall project work and
deliverables which is represented in Hierarchy in a project. It has various benefits such as
(Heerkens, 2015),
 It is helps to prevent the work from the slipping through the cracks.
 It is provide the impact of the work indications.
 It creates the process of scope management and its plan.
 It defines the project scope and collects the requirement of the project - It is one of
the key functions of the project management. It is make sure that everything within
the project scope is completed without carrying out the any extra work.
 It provides the basic estimation of the project time and cost.
 It is fulfilling the intended purposes - It is major criterion for project success that it
fulfils its intended purpose. It is implements the overall function of the project.
 The WBS is used to define the scope by listing the separate task that will be making
up the projects.
 One of the main important parts of the project management is to assign the
responsibility for the project work. But, the WBS easily assigns the responsibility of
the each of the tasks in the project schedule.
 Main aim of WBS is to tracking the progress in the project schedule because it have
the clearly defined limits which can determine the how advanced project is by
checking which tasks are finished.
1.3 Identification of the Critical Path
Basically, Method of the critical path is a resource utilization algorithm which is used for
scheduling the set of project activities and it includes the following aspects such as,
 Task Dependencies
 Provide the task estimation tile for each task.
 List of all tasks required to complete the project.
In project schedule, the critical path is the longest sequence of the activities which is required
to be completed on the time to make the completion of the project is on time. The critical
path activities are not be initiated until their predecessors have been completed. It determines
the sequence of activities and specifies the individual activities. The Identification of critical
path is used to do four calculations such as
 Early Start time
11

 Early finish time
 Latest Finish time
 Latest Start time
The identified critical tasks are illustrated as
below.
The below figure is used to shows the
critical Path.

2.3 Process of Resource Levelling
The levelling of resource is a process which is performed when the availability of the
resources is less than their requirements. It is overlooks the resource allocation and resolves
the possible conflict arising from the over allocations on the project management task and its
resources. It faces the conflict which is used to deliver the project on time. It is one f the key
elements to resource management in the organization. The levelling of resource has two types
of issues are normally involved such as, first one is to minimize the project duration time
with a constraint on the total availability of the certain key resource and second one is to
levelling resource demands with constraint on the total project duration time. The techniques
of the resource levelling are closely related with critical path calculations. For that reason, the
logic of the network diagram, total float, activity sequences effects that are required the
quantities per time. The critical path is common type of the technique is used in the project
management when it comes to resource levelling and it is represented for both shortest and
longest time duration paths in the network diagram to project completions. In critical path
concept, the resource levelling techniques uses the two concepts such as crashing and fast
tracking. The crashing is used to assigning the resources in addition to use the existing
resources which is associated with the additional costs like equipment, labour and more. The
fast tracking is used to perform the critical path tasks.

PART 2 - 4D Planning
1. Synchro Pro Software
In this section, we are use the Synchro Pro software and link the building project
planning data with the given 3D CAD building model. To create the 3D CAD model in
Synchro Pro software by using the below steps such as,
1) Open the created project management file on Synchro Pro software
23

2) After open converted the project file which is XML file format.
3) Import the MS project file.
4) After, view the Project scheduling.
5) Then, reschedule the project plan.
6) After, click the Navigator to choose the Animation editor.
7) Click, the 3D objects, to click the first task and end task.
8) At last, the 3D Animation of the project plan is created.
9) These are illustrated as below (Pinto, 2019).
24

Use of the Synchro Pro software, It has one or more issues which is based on tasks
limit. While import the project management data file, it does not support the tasks because it
has task limits. So, reduce the tasks, after it supported to successfully import the project
management data file. At last, click the reschedule plan and the proposed plans and changes
are demonstrated as below.

2. 4D Planning
The 4D planning is used to provide the method of visualizing the project schedule which
is based on building information modelling (BIM). The BIM is process that came to
revolutionize the AEC industry workflow. The BIM 4D is basically focus on linking the 3D
models with the time and schedule. The 4D planning methods is used for schedule
visualization which is combine the other scheduling methods to facilitates the decision
making and communication throughout the planning and construction phase. It is used to
improve the procurement management scheduling, spatial constraints scheduling and location
based scheduling. It also combines the 3D CAD models with activities of construction and it
is quite common by using the traditional methods of planning such as critical path method,
Gantt chart and these are used to identify the difficulties synchronization either with the
design and real time construction. It is process to the intelligent the linking of a 3D digital
model with schedule and time related information. It is used to provide the useful and precise
construction project information for teams. It provide the visualization incorporates finish and
start date data for the installation and supply of the construction components and reveals the
importance them. It is removed the challenge associated with the traditional scheduling of the
construction sequences by lack of visualization.
The opportunities of the 4d planning is used to visualize the schedule using the 4D
methods if combines with other scheduling methods facilitates communications and decision
making throughout the construction and planning phase. It also improves the spatial
27

constraints and procurement management. It also improves the supplement the location based
scheduling. It gains the more and more ground is the linkage of 4D BIM. The intended of the
4D is create the simultaneously with the constraints and barriers which needs to addressed to
minimize the cost and time of the construction projects.
Advantages and Benefits
 Communication - It provides the efficient communication among all the project
stakeholders which is used to reduce the inconsistencies. It exploiting the possible of
the capturing the both spatial and temporal aspects of the contributes and schedule to
an insight understanding ot the time flow and minimizing the misunderstandings.
 Site Management - 4D planning is efficiently managing the site area. It easily
evaluates the model based schedule.
 Cost and Time - The 4D planning is used to prove to be valuable asset in terms of
cost and time. It is also reduce the time spend in rework.
 Procurement - it is used to tracking the material and services status using the
activities of the procurement in the planning and design.
 Safety Management - The human resources are play a major role in projects which is
allows 4D simulations to influence the spatial constraints for people and protect them
from the possible accidents.
 Quality of Schedule – It is used to enhance the overall the schedule quality and
consequently of the projects. It consists of the various activities that their relationship
and construction sequence is not always well planned. It verifies the reliability of the
schedule and minimizing the risk and uncertainties in the construction projects.
