Resource leveling aims to reduce the fluctuations of the resource distribution and peak resource demand during the construction. Obtaining the optimum solution is not a problem as the optimization tools can be accessed easily and large problems can be solved by ordinary desktop computers. However, the most important part of the problem is the selection of the proper metric, because all of the resource distribution metrics do not reduce the fluctuations or peak resource demand. In this study, drawbacks of resource idle day, release and rehire, and minimum moment metrics are discussed on case study problems in which the examined metrics cannot provide proper resource distributions. Resource idle day, and release and rehire metrics cannot penalize peak resource demand properly while they may excessively penalize unimportant fluctuations. Minimum moment metric cannot penalize resource fluctuations efficiently and systematically. Project managers may face with even worse resource distribution if the aforementioned metrics are utilized without any prior knowledge.
