Traditional construction planning, which depends on historical data and heuristic
modification, prevents the integration of managerial details such as productivity dynamics …

Objective The objective of this article was to conduct a systematic review of published
research on the use of discrete event simulation (DES) for resource modelling (RM) in health …

This paper presents a novel methodology which assists in automating the generation of time
schedules for bridge construction projects. The method is based on a simulation of …

In the last years simulation approaches are increasingly used to support construction
scheduling. For that purpose, different kinds of planning data have to be analyzed and …

In shipbuilding the transport processes are of major concern during the planning of
production facilities and processes. Due to the heavy weights of the shipbuilding interim …

Recently, many researchers pay more attention to the emission estimation during the
construction phase. They use simulation-based life cycle assessment (LCA) to analyze the …

Construction logistics comprises planning, coordination and supervision of material flow to,
within and from construction sites. Good construction logistics on construction sites saves …

Typically, in the shipbuilding industry, several vessels are built concurrently, and a
production plan is established through a hierarchical planning process. This process largely …

This paper presents an integrated process-based construction simulation toolkit (CST) and a
web-based collaboration platform named ProSIM to support planning of construction …

Data mining methods can invoke substantial optimization potential, as demonstrated in the
manufacturing industry. Looking at the construction industry and precisely the as-performed …
