Contract Modifications Processing Procedures: A Generalized Stochastic Model II.

Abstract

This thesis demonstrates the use of computer simulation to model the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's construction change order processing procedures. A generalized stochastic network based on the SIMSCRIPT II.5 discrete event simulation programming language is presented. Use of the Ramberg - Schmeiser percentile probability distribution and regression analysis to model network activities as well as a sensitivity analysis of the simulation model is featured. The principle conclusion of the research is that computer simulation can effectively be utilized to solve construction management problems provided adequate expert supervision is available. A simulation model building methodology is also discussed.
