Logistics sensitivity of construction processes

Influence parameters on construction processes and logistics are very diverse. Using a simulation model, many parameter variations can be created by taking different input data. Still it is impossible for all process parameters to be taken into account, as their many interrelations form a highly complex system. The lack of time, personnel, and computing capacities hinder the analysis of the whole and complex system. The close relation between construction processes and logistics results in several key parameters being taken into consideration. Identifying which parameters have a smaller and which have a greater impact is relevant in order to develop well performing simulation models and to reduce simulation effort. According to the performed simulation studies, it can be shown, which parameters have to be taken into account, while other parameters can be neglected. The presented research focuses on the sensitivity analysis on the impact of logistics parameters on the simulation results.
