A Comprehensive Optimization Framework for Concrete Supply Chains in Large-Scale Construction Projects
Abstract
When taken as a whole, these issues cause construction businesses to lose a lot of money, delay projects, and become less competitive. Opportunities for cost savings and performance enhancement go untapped due to the absence of systematic optimisation techniques. Furthermore, ineffective supply chains increase traffic, material waste, and carbon emissions, all of which have an adverse effect on the environment. Large-scale building projects' concrete supply chains are beset by serious inefficiencies that raise prices, cause delays, and compromise quality. The construction industry's current supply chain management procedures are mostly based on antiquated methods that are not systematically optimised and do not make proper use of the technologies that are now available. The present condition of concrete supply chains in large-scale projects is characterised by a number of serious issues.
