Defect simulation during the building life cycle including initial phase

Abstract

The paper presents the model for the description of the dynamic system concerning the defect simulation. The system includes the initial part of the life cycle where same amount of the rework has to be considered because of the low quality work. The second subsystem considers a division of the maintenance as planned and unplanned activities. The model connects these subsystems in one complex model that allows us to perform the simulations for investigating different problems. The example of the calculation of the key system parameters is presented in the paper. The resultant values demonstrate the importance of the maintenance but also the impact of the initial phase of the life cycle that has substantial influence on the amount of the defects in the early period.
