heal.abstract	In projects with repeating activities (such as multistory buildings, highways, or pipelines consisting of reiterating identical or similar units) and in which the activity unit production rates are characterized by uncertainty or imprecision, fuzzy set theory and the well-established repetitive scheduling method (RSM) can be combined to ensure uninterrupted usage of resources between similar activities in different units. The reason for this approach is that in practice the application of RSM may be hindered by several considerations, for example, repetitive units may be slightly different from each other, the performance of construction crews may vary, and there may be complex resource matching and sharing between activities and work sites. The proposed methodology is termed fuzzy repetitive scheduling method (F-RSM), and it requires a generalization of RSM in which schedules are represented by two- or three-dimensional graphs and whereby the concepts of a control segment and the controlling sequence area are introduced. The resulting methodology addressing the original RSM scheduling problem is presented in this paper. DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)CO.1943-7862.0000319. (C) 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.	en
