Evaluating logistic systems of building materials supply

Abstract

There are many logistical tasks in the field of supplying construction materials, as well as financial and information flows in construction projects. All logistical processes related to the flow of resources, physical, informational, and financial, occurring between the different elements of the company's structure make up its logistical system. One of the many decisions made during the planning of a construction project is the choice of how to control the logistics system of supply. It is impossible to indicate a universal system that will optimally meet the needs of many construction projects due to the individual nature of each project. Properly selected type of logistic service and structure of logistic system allow one to reduce risk in supply chain management. This paper proposes a multi-criteria analysis to evaluate the models of the logistic system of supply in the execution of a construction project. The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP was used for the comparative evaluation, allowing multi-criteria pairwise comparisons of the various systems. The proposed approach allows to indicate the structure of the logistic system, ensuring continuity of construction output and also reduction of logistic costs.
