Abstract: Abstract Project control consists of monitoring a project’s progress at so called control points, finding possible deviations from the baseline schedule and if necessary, making adjustments to the deviated schedule subject to the available control budget, the adjusting strategies and also other technical and environmental possibilities in order to bring the schedule back on the right track. In this study, we adapt for the first time the generalized maximum covering location model to determine the adjusting strategies such that the maximum control coverage is achieved, i.e. under the given constraints, a schedule that is globally as close to the baseline schedule as possible is obtained. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the intricacies of the proposed method and also to demonstrate its applicability.
