The design of the supply chain in a construction project is currently very manual. The consequence of this fact is an inefficient organization, resulting in additional costs and overruns of significant deadlines, thus allowing the profitability of the projects. In addition, a lack of cooperation between the various actors in the supply chain causes additional difficulties that can slow down the project and generate activities.
The study of the methods of design and optimization of the supply chain in the manufacturing sector underlines a significant delay in the construction industry and underline the possibility to adapt the methods already existing in the manufacturing industry in the case of construction. After seeing the design and optimization models developed in the literature, we therefore built a new one, adapted to the specific problems of the sector studied.
A first version allows the optimization of the costs of a simple construction with several possibilities to be carried out. Planning is then carried out using the simulation data. A second version of the model integrates the storage issue and adds the possibility of influencing the grace period thanks to the introduction of a crash cost. The different options thus generated through these versions make it possible to serve as decision support when designing the supply chain, and therefore to increase integration within it to reduce incidents.
