A Network Adjustment Technique for the Analysis of Schedule Delay and Acceleration Claims.

Abstract

Contractors and owners generally agree that the handling of claims arising from delays to the schedule is a significant and growing problem. These claims are frequently difficult to negotiate. One large problem in resolving claims is the lack of documentation. An additional problem is the inability to determine the cause-effect relationship of delays. Critical Path Method (CPM) schedules have proven to be useful in determining delay effects. Adjusting a CPM schedule to reflect critical delays is a viable method of settling delay claims. The procedure for adjusting a CPM network has never been documented in detail. This report will present a methodology for using CPM network schedules to determine the impact of project delays. An additional procedure for evaluating acceleration claims using network schedules will also be presented.
