2. LINE OF BALANCE
 Line of balance is a management control process for
collecting,measuring and presenting facts relating to time
,cost and accomlishment all measured against as specific
plan.
 It is used to plan the construction of repetitive structural
units like commercial and residential construction and the
newer low rise housing estates.

3. HISTORY :
 The LOB scheduling Technique was originated by the
Goodyear Company in the early 1940’s and was developed
by the U.S Navy in the early 1950’s for the programming
and control of both repetitive projects.
 LOB has been applied to resource scheduling and co-
ordination of subcontractors,to a highway pavement
construction project, to modeling production activities for
multi facility projects and to trasportation projects.

4. SCHEDULING WITH LOB
 Prepare a logic diagram.
 To complete each operation, calculate the estimate of man
– hours required.
 Select a buffer time which will lookout against the risk of
interference between operations.
 Calculate the requision outputs targets so as to meet a
given project completion date.
 Complete the LOB shedule.
 In order to bring more balance schedule, inspect the
schedule and access possible attentive.

5. Advantages:
 It allows a clear understanding of the amount of work
taking place at a certain time in a specific place.
 It is relatively easier to modify, update and change the
schedule.
 It allows the better management of sub contractor and
resources.
 It allows problems areas to be identified in advance.

6. Disadvanges :
 LOB does not shows critical activities.
 A monitoring device; not as easy to use as a planning
device.
 Limited to production and assembly type processes.
 It could be divided only by location.
 It shows only where the problem is, it does not shows
what actual problem is.
