Simulation model for resource-constrained construction project

Abstract

Repetition of the same processes on different objects or units of a construction project and their concurrent execution makes it necessary to use the same limited resources at the same time. Managers prefer simple heuristic priority rules to scheduling construction activities, but there is not one the best for all projects. In addition that the experience from deterministic scheduling problems and priority-rule methods cannot always be directly transferred to stochastic environment.
