摘要: Current research focuses on assessing productivity, cost, and delays for concrete batch plant (CBP) operations using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methodology. Data were collected to assess cycle time, delays, cost of delivery, price/m3 the CBP. Two ANN models designated represent CBP process considering many variables. Input variables include delivery distance, type, truck mixer's load. Output assessment price/m3. The outputs have been validated show ANN's robustness in output average validity percent is 96.25%. A Time‐Quantity (TQ) chart developed time required both mixers produce a specified quantity concrete. Charts predict time/truck, delays/truck, delivery/m3,
