Abstract: |
The paper
discusses the role of modelling and simulation
techniques in large scale construction projects focusing on the opportunities
and on the modelling challenges that are specific
to this context of application. The paper argues that a methodology based on
dynamic multi-process simulation models provides powerful decision support when assessing the performance implications of
changes in the design and/or in the technology, as well as the impact of alternative
courses of action during project execution. Dynamic multi-process simulation
provides quantitative grounds for the understanding, analysis, and discussion
among the project stakeholders, and creates the conditions for a concurrent
engineering approach throughout the project.s lifecycle,
starting from the early stages of conceptual design. A simulation-based
study, based on actual data from a construction project, is presented in the
paper to illustrate these benefits. |
