'''Linear Schedulingscheduling Methodmethod''' (LSM) is a graphical scheduling method focusing on continuous resource utilization in repetitive activities.

==Application==

LSM is used mainly in the [[Construction|construction industry]] to schedule resources in repetitive activities commonly found in [[highway]], [[Pipeline transport|pipeline]], [[Skyscraper|high-rise building]] and rail construction projects. These projects are called repetitive or linear projects. The main advantages of LSM over [[Criticalcritical Pathpath Methodmethod]] (CPM) is its underlying idea of keeping resources continuously at work. In other words, it schedules activities in such a way that:

# resource utilization is maximized;
