Abstract:
The construction industry has many underlying
causes and factors of uncertainty that impact on project
completion schedule and time management. Uncertainties in
design, procurement, operation and environmental issues are
the major sources in construction project that should be
managed. Most of researchers proposed a modelling and
simulation techniques to solve these uncertainties problem
nevertheless not for environmental issues. However, the
environmental issues were also leading in significant deviations
for project schedule as well in time management. The aims of
this paper is to develop an initial model of uncertainty
modelling to manage the underlying causes and factors that
impact in environmental issue (EI) for construction industry
(CI). The uncertainty structure is also presented to show the
flows of uncertainty process which will be implemented in this
case study as well. The simulation modelling and experimental
study will base on a real case study and will verify and validate
this suggestion. The validated model might be used as guidance
to construction planners and managers to plan their project
schedule. Further, the decision support system model-based
will be developed for enhancement to integrate all
uncertainty’s sources to become as a powerful system in the
direction of managing the uncertainty.
