IP12 Advanced logistics for end-to-end collaboration and coordination

Mahdjoubi, Lamine

Abstract

Infrastructure and construction projects are increasingly adopting off-site construction, and are becoming more competitive and collaborative, making well-timed delivery of off-site components/volumes essential. Logistics for off-site construction and infrastructure is a complex activity, requiring careful planning and organisation to ensure that prefabricated and preassembled components arrive on time at construction sites. Improved logistics will help the industry to improve its performance and reputation, as well as increase its profit margins. The TIES Living Lab Programme is promoting the use of modern methods of construction (MMC) particularly the off-site manufacture of constructed assets – and a key challenge of that approach is to ensure delivery to site of the manufactured components. Under the Programme, University of the West of England (UWE) Bristol was tasked with building and testing a suitable cloud-based advanced logistics platform for off-site construction projects. This paper presents an overview of the Advanced Logistics Demonstrator Project and the state-of-the-art integrated asset management platform developed under the project on Advanced Logistics.
