“…This is due to determining the materials procurement plan throughout setting the fixed ordering period in the CLPC model, which minimizes the risk of project time delay due to the delay of delivery of the construction materials that may occur, which in turn lead to delay of ongoing activities that might cause delay of project duration and in return paying indirect costs and liquidated damages for that period, which was about an average of 50,000 EGP per day in the studied case [27,28].…”

List of Abbreviations AbstractThe effective and efficient management of construction resources is the core of success for any construction project. Traditionally, researchers and industry professionals identify the five main construction resources to include, time, capital, labor, equipment and material. Although, one of the important project resources that have been overlooked during the planning phases of most construction projects is site space. The contractors in Egypt impose serious challenges to plan for material procurement and site logistics due to the insufficiency of construction site space. The aim of this research is to optimize the construction logistics planning cost in Egypt. A literature review is performed on an adapted construction logistics planning model, whereas, implementing and verifying the automated construction logistics planning model using genetic algorithms, applying and validating a case study to the automated construction logistics planning model to the Egyptian industry which is expected to help contractors in Egypt to develop more optimized site layout plans and procurement plans to avoid material shortage and unorganized site layouts that could led to cost overruns.

“…Generally, the criteria of project performance are identified both from a positive and negative perspective effects. From positive effects, effective material management has a positive impact on time optimization, cost saving, quality maximization, productivity improvement and waste minimization, [1][2][3][32][33][34]. On the other hand, ineffective material management has negative effects on project performance such as time delay, cost overrun, poor quality, loss of productivity and excessive waste generation [2,8,11,14,[35][36][37].…”

Abstract. Material management is an important element in project management as materials contribute a major portion to total project cost. It also plays a key role because of the successes of every construction project rely on having proper resources. Thus, it gives implication on project performance. Despite the importance of material management to project performance, there are limited numbers of research available related to this topic. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to identify the effects factors of material management on project performance. Literature from books, journal articles and conferences papers related to this topic are reviewed. In conclusion, exploring the implication of material management towards project performance will benefit construction players in improving the efficiency of material management in order to minimize the impacts on construction projects performance.

“…The location of construction material on the site has a direct impact on the productivity and performance of projects (Thomas et al 2005). Laydown and staging areas should be selected carefully to avoid double handling and unnecessary movements (Mawdesley et al 2002), while avoiding underutilization of valuable prime space on the site.…”

Abstract:The efficient planning of site space through the course of a construction project is referred to as site layout planning. Due to its impact on safety, productivity and security on construction sites, several site layout planning models have been developed in the past decades. These models have the common aim of generating best layouts considering the defined constraints and conditions. However, the underlying assumptions that were made during the development of these models seem disparate and often implicit. This study provides an overview of the existing models and aims to draw a holistic view of variables that have been considered at different levels of detail and using different approaches in the site layout literature. Through close examination and comparative analysis of existing models, this study identifies the components that need to be considered for site layout modeling, referred to as constructs. Possible approaches that can be used to realize each construct are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed. It is hoped that this study contributes to a better understanding of site layout modeling, and provide an outline for the development of new site layout planning models.Key words: construction site planning, site layout modeling, modeling constructs, site management, optimization models.Résumé : La planification de l'agencement d'un espace défini dans le cadre d'un chantier de construction est appelée « plan d'aménagement de site ». En raison de l'impact de ce dernier sur la sécurité, la productivité et la sûreté des sites de construction, de nombreux modèles de plans d'aménagement de site ont été développés au cours des dernières décennies. Ces modèles ont pour objectif commun de concevoir des aménagements optimaux en tenant compte de contraintes et de conditions précises. Cependant, les hypothèses de base émises lors de l'élaboration de ces modèles semblent nombreuses et souvent implicites. La présente étude fournit un aperçu des modèles existants et a pour but d'offrir une vision globale des variables qui ont été étudiées à différents niveaux de détail et sous diverses approches dans la littérature traitant de l'aménagement de site. Grâce à un examen attentif et à une analyse comparative des modèles existants, le présent article identifie les composants, nommés « structures », à prendre en compte dans la modélisation de l'aménagement de site. L'article décrit également les différentes approches pouvant être adoptées pour créer chaque structure ainsi que les avantages et désavantages de ces approches. Il est à espérer que la présente étude contribuera à une meilleure compréhension de la modélisation de l'aménagement de site et constituera un point de départ à l'élaboration de nouveaux modèles de plans d'aménagement de site. [Traduit par le Rédaction] Mots-clés : plan de site de construction, modélisation d'aménagement de site, structures de modélisation, gestion de site, modèles d'optimisation.
