Decision models and expert systems in construction management
Abstract The construction process in an interaction of projects to be constructed, and management which determines the schedules and regulates the flow of resources necessary for their realization. Three types of decision tools are examined. The first are analog models (graphs, charts, diagrams, networks, flowlines, etc.) which represent, in a graphical manner, the main attributes of the project and their effect on schedule and budget. The second group are mathematical models which, through manipulation of relationships between project attributes, indicate optimal allocation solutions in terms of cost or profit. Such models can be used for location, bidding, pricing, investment, valuation and other types of managerial decisions. The most advanced group of decision tools—the expert systems-can manipulate normative data (prices, productivity figures, equipment dimension and capacity, etc.), use mathematical algorithms for solution, and also employ unstructured decision rules based on experts' opinions.
