Risk-averse supply chain for modular construction projects

摘要: Abstract The traditional in-situ construction method is currently being replaced by modular building systems, that take advantage of modern manufacturing, transportation, and assembly methods. This transformation poses a challenge to supply chains, which have, thus far, been concentrated on raw material transportation only. A mathematical model conceived in this study for the design optimisation risk-averse logistics configurations projects under operational uncertainty. considers storage, stages, along with selection optimal warehouse locations.
