Design and Analysis of Construction Operations


Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of production management principles within the construction industry. Students will explore advanced techniques for modeling construction operations, designing highly efficient processes, and accurately measuring and improving on-site productivity. A primary focus is placed on the application of computer simulation techniques to model, analyze, and optimize complex construction workflows, enabling data-driven decision-making for modern engineering projects.

Learning Outcomes

- Design simulation models to abstract and represent construction processes.
- Use discrete event and continuous simulation concepts for modeling construction processes.
- Implement and run experiments on models using the Simphony simulation environment.
- Test, validate, and evaluate developed models using different techniques including statistical methods.
