Process Plan Optimization using a Genetic Algorithm
In this paper we present our ongoing research project GAPO (Genetic Algorithm Process Optimization) that focuses on the development of an optimization module for process plans. GAPO is part of a 4D-Toolbox that conflates different modules for the 4D planning of construction projects. Among other modules, the 4D-Toolbox consists of a DES (Discrete Event Simulator) that automatically sequences activities into a network plan 3 taking structural and process constraints into account. Thereafter, GAPO is used to optimize the generated network plan in terms of time, cost and resource management forming a multiple criteria optimized process plan 4 This process plan can then be joined with the 3D-Model of the construction project - forming a 4D Model - and visualized through the 4D-Player, another module of our 4D-Toolbox.
