Abstract

Resource management is essential in a construction project. In particular, resource leveling, which reduces resource fluctuations among resource management methods, prevents resource stagnation and shortage, thereby maintaining a balance between limited construction cost and construction period. In this study, the effect of resource leveling through the queueing model on the construction cost and construction period was quantitatively analyzed based on the data of the case project. First, in this study, the resource-related problems of the case project are described and the state of the queue system is analyzed using the queueing model. Second, the queue system status is analyzed after resource leveling by objective criteria. Third, quantitatively analyze the effect of resource leveling using the queueing model on construction cost and construction period. Through this, the method proposed in this study is verified. This result helps objective decision making in the process planning stage or resource input decision stage, taking into account waiting costs and service costs.
