	The Flow-Line Diagram is the graphic representation tool in LBS. The different activities are illustrated as lines in a XY-coordinate system. The Y-axis in the Flow-Line Diagram is divided into the physical locations of the project. The X-axis indicates the timewise progress of the project.		The Flow-Line Diagram is the graphic representation tool in LBS. The different activities are illustrated as lines in a XY-coordinate system. The Y-axis in the Flow-Line Diagram is divided into the physical locations of the project. The X-axis indicates the timewise progress of the project.
	The activities are depicted as lines in the coordinate system. The combination of ~~axeis~~ displaying time and locations, gives an overview of ''where'' and ''when'' activities has to be carried out. The duration of each activity is seen at each location by the length of the flow-lines. The activities can be scheduled parallel to one another, so that there in this manner will be obtained an even flow and a stable rhythm of the construction. This results in, there being no days with numerous activities and other days with very few activities. The duration of each activity is estimated by the project manager in terms of man-hours needed to execute the task. The estimation is based on a combination of quantitative data in form of quantities from the tender list and qualitative experience. The actual time planned for the activity varies in proportion to the allocated resources; this is visualized by the slope of the Flow-Lines. A rapid and short activity has a steep line, while a slow and time-consuming activity has a rather flat line. In Figure 3, activity 1 and 3 have a duration of one day, and activity 2 a duration of eight days.		The activities are depicted as lines in the coordinate system.

	Today, Location Based Scheduling is carried out by more and more contractors. Advanced software is used to create the most effective and efficient schedules possible.
