Abstract: In every construction project, there are two most important factors to be considered in the planning of project i.e. time and cost. Time deals with speed, quality of work and availability of tools and materials whereas cost deals with optimization and availability of resource. The aim of this project is to complete the project within a given time and a budget, and also to achieve the other objectives. The constraints that are observed in every project is time overrun and cost overrun. As we can say it’s a most difficult task for a project manager to practice it, which includes fixed measuring progress, executions as per plan and corrective actions should be taken whenever required. Due to proper planning and scheduling, it gives us a knowledge of proper time and the process of cost mostly remains the same. Basically, cost optimization and allocation of resource directly deals with availability of tools and materials. With a proper sequence of activities with assigned durations and resource, scheduled is prepared. In this project critical path and critical activities are studied with the use of MS-Project 2016, so that activities should be properly observed while execution, so that there will be no delay of time in the project, and also, stay focused on the wastage of materials thus lead to the proper optimization of materials and reduction of cost. Keywords: MS-Project, planning, Scheduling, Allocation of resource I. INTORDUCTION When introduced Critical path method was a great improvement in the field of project planning and management James E Kelley.Jr.and Morgan R. Walker officially introduced the CPM to the world by an article titled “Critical path planning and scheduling” published in March 1959. In Project Management, schedule is a listing of project's milestones and activities, usually deals with intended start date and finish dates. It involves keeping an eye and watching project work progress with respect to planned time, resources and scheduled performance during execution of the works and thus determining the activities which are require timely identification and correct action to fix it. Those items are oftenly estimated or calculated by other information included in the project schedule of resource allocation, budget, task duration, and linkages of activities depend on each other and scheduled events. With the help of “Project Monitoring” methods its easy for collecting, recording and reporting all the information regarding the project status and performance, which are needed by the concerned project managers and other personalities who wish to know about the status of project. A schedule is most commonly used in the project planning and project management. Elements on a schedule may be closely related to the work breakdown structure (WBS), the Statement of work, or a Contract Data Requirements List given by. A. Planning and Scheduling of a Project Project planning is a most common and general term in construction management which helps to carry on time expected task and activities. Planning is a key to bring expected projects into an existence. Generally, the project planning involves the breakdown of a project into a various identifiable, definable and quantifiable task or activities or work and then constitutes the logical interdependencies between them. Basically, planning process refers to three important and dominant questions: 1) Who does it? 2) What is to be done? 3) How to carry it? Scheduling of a project deals with the final project duration and project delivery dates. Typically, it also shows and verifies the sequential order or phasing various project activities in a systematic way to complete the project. The schedule is simple a tool or technique of a project management team which is used to predict the most probable project completion time and also enable resource conception and outflow which are required on the particular work. And thus, allocation of a resource shows who are responsible for completing who are responsible for completing each activity.

In order to develop a project schedule, the following needs to be completed: a) Scope of project b) Sequence of activities c) Work breakdown d) Task dependencies map e) Critical path analysis f) Project milestones B. Benefits of a well-planned Schedule A properly executed construction schedule can help to manage materials, labours and equipments. It also allows for an adjustments to accommodate the unexpected events in the projects. This allows construction management team to complete projects on-time and on-budget. A. B. C. D. E. F.

II. OBJECTIVES To propose and the importance and the need of planning, scheduling in construction project works. To showcase an ideal schedule for (G+18) Residential apartment building. WBS of a project. To calculate the proper duration required for the construction of a whole structure. To advice and suggest the procedures to contractors for scheduling of project. To showcase the feature project tracking, gnatt chart and the uses of MS-project in the construction industry. To show the critical path in the case study observe in the MSP.

III. LITERATURE REVIEW The scheduling of activities is the major requirement in project management activity. Activity scheduling is probably single most important tool for determining how project’s resources should be separated. The schedule serves as a master plan from which both customer and management have an up-to-date picture of operation. Certain guidelines to be followed while preparing schedule are: A. All major events and dates must be clearly defined and noted, if for an any reason the customer’s milestone dates cannot be met, the customer should be notified immediately with proper delay statement. B. The exact sequence of work should be defined clearly through a network in which an interrelationship between events can be identified. C. Schedules should be directly relatable to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). If the WBS is developed according to a given or specific sequence of work, then it becomes an easy task to identify work in working sequences in schedules using the same numbering system as in the given WBS. The minimum requirement should be to show when all tasks start and finish. D. All the schedules must identify the time and cost constraints, if possible, then should identify those resources required for each event to perform the execution. E. As the lead and lag plays a vital role in the project management. F. Follow up of the critical path is very important as it carries a major activity. G. Proper allocation of resource leads to cost optimization in the project. IV. METHODOLOGY Methodology of the topic includes following 3 main factors on which utiliisation of time and optimization of cost and is dependent on it: 1) Planning 2) Schedulinng 3) Allocation of resource

At first essential data are collected for construction problem through a source. CPM is used to find out the critical path and critical activities. The critical activities are shortened to reduce the duration in order to get their lowest cost slopes. The important objective to use of critical path method is to determine how best reduce time required to perform repetitive and that are needed to support an organisation. The project is crashed up to minimum cost on the point of total cost.

The Techniques Includes in Scheduling CPM BAR chart Networking scheduling techniques. WBS

C. Advantages When comparing bar charts with networks, three advantages over bar charts(Mubarak, 2003): 1) Network show logic, the relationships among the activities. Bar charts do not 2) Networks can better represent large and complicated projects. 3) Networks can estimate, or predict, the completion date of the project, or other dates, on the basis of mathematical calculations of the CPM. The essential technique for using CPM is to construct a model of the project that includes the following: a) A list of all activities required to complete the project (typically categorized within a work breakdown structure), b) The time (duration) that each activity will take to complete, c) The dependencies between the activities and, d) Logical end points such as milestones or deliverable items. The bar chart was originally developed by Henry L. Gantt in 1917 and is called a Gantt chart. A bar chart is ―a graphic representation of project activities which are shown in a time-scaled bar line with no links shown between activities (Popescu and Charoenngam, 1995). It quickly became popular in construction industry because of its ability to graphically represent a project‘s activities on a time scale. A bar chart has become a vehicle for representing many pieces of a project‘s information. A project must be broken into smaller, usually homogeneous components, each of which is called an activity or task. Bar charts basically use the xaxis to depict time, and the y-axis is used to represent individual activities

CONCLUSION After studying the results of case study, a CCPM approach was seen to be the most suitable approach than the existing CPM approach since it eliminates few drawbacks of CPM methods as stated above. Planning of whole project have been divided properly by WBS. The overall activity included in MSP are 681 activities. Planning has been done with the help of MS-Project 2016. A. Time Optimization The time calculated for the construction of Foresta-Oyester with the help of MS-Project 2016 is 684 days i.e. approximately 22months and 18 days. The given period of time by Real Estate Regulatory Authority was 780 days i.e. 25 months 12days. Time period given by Client is 720 days B. Result The time period consume in percentage is 83% , that means project have been completed earlier 17% of the given time (140 days). Start time of a project – 02-01-2019 Expected finish time of a project – 29-11-2020 Scheduling gives an proper approach for time consumption. That’s the importance of scheduling in a construction industry Now-adays. 1) A-B-C Analysis of a Material
