Abstract

Major portion of projects’ cost is dedicated to construction equipment’s costs which signify the importance of employing optimal equipment’s schedules in projects. In this paper the problem of construction equipment scheduling for a company with several ongoing projects in different regions is studied. The goal is scheduling heavy construction equipment and their assignments to jobs so that the total cost for the company and disruptions in projects’ schedules is minimized while considering the priorities and critical paths of the projects. A robust predictive-reactive integer model with a hybrid dynamic approach is employed in modeling the problem. Case studies showed considerable savings in cost and minimizing disruption in schedules in real time.
