"Simulation-based multi-objective optimization model for machinery allo" by Kamal Jaafar and Laith Ishaq El-Halawani
Earthworks in construction projects are performed in the early stages in construction and in most construction projects, earthworks are considered very costly. Project managers find difficulties in finishing solutions to minimize the time & cost of earthworks in construction projects. To assist project managers in decision making, this paper will introduce a simulation-based model to optimize the earthworks machines based on their productivity rates. Previous attempts to solve this issue resulted in finding the optimal number of machines that needs to be allocated, without taking into cons...
