Overview 

Off-site construction operations can be subject to downstream construction site disruptions. These disruptions - such as high wind conditions limiting on-site crane movements for example -  delay on-site construction and impact on the effectiveness of the off-site production of construction modules. Brian researches how different disruption management strategies can be used to improve system performance in the face of disruptions.

Aim(s)

Develop novel disruption management strategies for off-site construction

Expected outcome: A novel disruption management strategy for off-site construction based on Mixed Integer Programming and Discrete Event Simulation.

Methodology
