Linear programming applications in construction sites

Abstract

More issues in construction management were found especially for decision making that related to the Arabian construction management office requirements. Operation research especially linear programming models considered one of the most important tool used in optimization applications at many fields of production engineering and mass production, also linear programming applications was developed to construction engineering field. This paper presents a linear programming technique to spotlight decision making application for optimizing competitive bidding strategy to select best tender as shown in real case study. Therefore, project manager or decision maker can use this concept for getting the best project cost. This paper give linear programming concepts that are reviewed to describe recent linear programming component which had large focus on related time-cost and time problems for studied project. Linear programming models are formulated to solve various cost and time problems by using LINDO software. The developed models had many limitations and restrictions for studied project. Construction managers can use it to explore more possible opportunities to predict influence of decision for construction to facilitate preferred different management objectives. Linear programming implementation shows the practice of wide variety for construction problems especially cost with time issues and it is more applicable to generate a shortest computational effort and time with low cost.
