Abstract

Construction quality is one of the primary management objectives relating to duration and cost for construction projects. Project managers struggle with minimizing duration and cost while maximizing quality for construction projects. In construction projects, duration and cost have management priorities. On the other hand, quality is considered a matter of achievement only when it reaches a certain level. Although the importance of quality control in construction management has been constantly discussed, it has still been sacrificed under the goal of shortening construction duration and reducing costs. This study presents a method for estimating the quantitative quality performance of construction operations in which the level of detail is breaking into the work task level for intuitive quality performance evaluation. For this purpose, quality weights of resources that have a proportional quality importance weight and quality performance indexes of resources are utilized for estimating the quantitative quality performance of construction operations. Quality performance estimation and the resource allocation optimization system is presented and validated using a construction simulation model.

Highlights

  • In the construction industry, quality is one of the most significant management targets with duration and cost in delivering projects, determining the success or failure of a project [1]

  • 12 of types of alternatives stored in each resource category, the sensitivity analysis module was performed by selecting the resources presented above in this study

  • The method presents predicting the quality performance with duration and cost of a specific construction operation when establishing a plan for the production

Summary

Introduction

Quality is one of the most significant management targets with duration and cost in delivering projects, determining the success or failure of a project [1]. In terms of construction management, shortening duration or reducing costs is considered a successful management case, but the quality is managed by satisfying only a certain level of performance. This quality control behavior is undermining project managers’ efforts to improve quality performance. The importance of quality control in construction management is constantly being discussed, it is still being sacrificed under the goal of shortening durations and reducing costs [5]. Construction quality management should apply the same techniques to manage project duration and cost
