Material delivery problems in construction projects: A possible solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emerging project management methods for construction projects generate new kinds of challenges for the delivery process of materials. The rationale of such methods is to create short-term schedules, based on a constraint analysis of resources, for project tasks. This approach has two requirements for material deliveries: transparency of material availability and short response times in the supply chain. We propose a potential solution for managing the material logistics of construction projects. The empirically validated solution proposes a shipment tracking-based approach to provide inventory transparency, and a pro-active delivery approach for efficient material deliveries. r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A Solution for the Material Delivery Problems in Construction Projects
The new project management methods emerging for construction projects generate new kinds of challenges for the delivery process of the project materials. The basic philosophy of the emerging methods is to create short-term schedules for project tasks based on a constraint analysis of project resources. This approach places two requirements for the material deliveries: Transparency to material a...
متن کاملA MULTI-OBJECTIVE DECENTRALIZED MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS SCHEDULING PROBLEM CONSIDERING PERIODIC SERVICES AND ORDERING POLICIES
In decentralized construction projects, costs are mostly related to investment, material, holding, logistics, and other minor costs for implementation. For this reason, simultaneous planning of these items and appropriate scheduling of activities can significantly reduce the total costs of the project undertaken. This paper investigates the decentralized multiple construction projects schedulin...
متن کاملA game theory approach for determining optimum strategy of claim resolution in construction projects
Claim is a big challenge for the contractors and the owners in construction projects. Claims are considered to be one of the most disruptive events of a project. A suitable claim resolution strategy can prevent the damages to the project and the involved parties. In this research, a mathematical model using game theory is presented to find the optimum strategy for resolving cost-related claims ...
متن کاملUsing Hybrid Fuzzy PROMETHEE II and Fuzzy Binary Goal Programming for Risk Ranking: A Case Study of Highway Construction Projects
Multi attribute decision making methods are considered as one of the most useful methods for solving ranking problems. In some decision making problems, while the alternatives for corresponding criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner, if the criteria are inherently fuzzy, debates will arise in ranking alternatives due to the closeness of the values of the criteria. In this researc...
متن کاملProjects performance evaluation model based on Choquet Integral
In most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (MCDA) problems in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of Choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. Actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. In these methods, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is used to constitute a possible solution space. ...
