Discussion of “Modeling Operational Activities in Object‐Oriented Simulation” by Amr A. Oloufa (January 1993, Vol. 7, No. 1)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modeling and Analysis of Aggregate Production Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a special purpose simulation tool developed for the aggregate processing industry called CRUISER. Special purpose tools offer an alternative to general purpose simulators, which are generally difficult ...
Integrating Document Management with Project and Company Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Electronic document management (EDM) systems have revolutionized the construction document storage and retrieval process. An electronically managed document consists of a computer representation of the main document body, ...
Application Framework for Development of Simulation Tools
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Development of specialized construction simulation tools is a time-consuming and complex operation. This has hindered the effective and wide use of simulation in the construction industry. An object-oriented application ...
Computerized Tool for Hierarchical Simulation Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Advancements in computing have enabled the development of effective tools for the modeling and analysis of construction operations. In particular, recent developments in object-oriented and event-driven programming were ...
Virtual Shop Model for Experimental Planning of Steel Fabrication Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traditionally, project planning in industrial shops, such as in a steel fabrication shop, has employed the experience of production engineers as its primary source in decision making. A scientific technique for analyzing ...
Unified Modeling Methodology for Construction Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses a new approach that will facilitate the use of simulation in the construction industry. Previous attempts in this regard have been hampered by the gap between the user and the simulation software, the ...
Measuring and Modeling Labor Productivity Using Historical Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Labor productivity is a fundamental piece of information for estimating and scheduling a construction project. The current practice of labor productivity estimation relies primarily on either published productivity data ...
Quantifying Engineering Project Scope for Productivity Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A poor scope definition in an engineering design project disrupts project rhythm, causes rework, increases project time and cost, and lowers the productivity and morale of the workforce. A quantitative measurement of the ...
Probabilistic Simulation Studies for Repetitive Construction Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Before full adaptation of simulation techniques for the analysis and design of construction operations can be implemented, the appropriate statistical tools must be understood and applied as part of the simulation experiment. ...
