Abstract

Although the construction industry, especially because of its relationship with other economic sectors, is one of the most important sectors that plays a key role in a country's economic growth, the construction supply chain has been considered less attention. Therefore, construction supply chain network design is of great importance for not only the companies but also governments. Thus, presenting an original mixed integer linear programming model, this paper introduces an optimal framework for a multi-project multi-resource multi-supplier construction supply chain network design for large construction companies with a decentralized procurement strategy. The main objective is to design a reliable supply chain model based on the quality of projects under the certain predefined budget, considering the entire supply chain as a single entity. Using a bi-objective approach to formulate the chain and the Lp-metric approach to solve the problem, make it possible to obtain a single-objective structural framework to reliability-quality trade-off consideration. To solve the problem in small and medium scales, GAMS software is employed, and a hybrid algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is developed to solve the large-scaled problem. The results show the capability of the model to attain optimal size of the chain as well as the quality-reliability trade-off considering a pre-specified budget. And, to the best of authors knowledge this is the first to obtain such a structured integrated framework in the construction supply chain.
