In this webinar, Aldo Mattos will present a deep, practical exploration of how Time-Location (or Linear) Schedules can transform the way complex, repetitive, or spatially distributed projects are planned, validated, monitored, and analysed.
Aldo will demonstrate why traditional CPM/Gantt approaches often fail to convey the true flow of work in linear or repetitive projects—and how the Linear Scheduling Method (LSM) offers a superior, intuitive, and more forensic way to understand production rates, work rhythms, and field realities.
Attendees will learn how linear schedules can:
- Consolidate complex information into a single, spatially-anchored visual that enhances understanding and communication across teams.
- Improve schedule validation, quickly revealing feasibility issues, production-rate assumptions, sequencing logic, weather-related risks, and stakeholder buy-in challenges.
- Enhance progress monitoring through clear comparison of planned vs. actual production, allowing deviations, recovery windows, and productivity patterns to be seen instantly.
- Support forensic schedule analysis, enabling clear demonstration of delays, disruptions, access issues, and productivity variance—especially valuable in dispute resolution or claims.
Aldo will walk through real examples from the paper, including high-rise buildings, pipelines, and tunnelling scenarios, showing how Time-Location charts reveal insights that CPM bars simply cannot.
Hosted by Helber Macedo, the session will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, offering participants a chance to engage directly with one of the field’s most respected practitioners.
Who should attend?
Project planners, schedulers, cost engineers, project managers, claims professionals, owners, contractors, and anyone seeking to improve clarity, communication, and analytical rigour in project controls.
Why this matters:
As linear and infrastructure projects grow in scale and complexity, the ability to visualise space-time relationships, production rates, and as-built behaviour is becoming essential. This webinar provides the tools and thinking to elevate scheduling maturity and analytical capability across the project lifecycle.
