Reliability-based decision analysis for ready mixed concrete supply chain using stochastic method

The process of delivering ready-mix concrete (RMC) to construction projects is a critical supply chain activity. This study models decision aiding method to assess RMC unloading type involving multiple stakeholders and evaluation criteria. The uncertainty of criteria weights set by expert judgment can be simulated in random ways within a prioritization matrix. The ranking is performed by grey relational grade systems based on individual preference. Using the illustrative example from an engineering corporation, the case study demonstrates the practicability of the proposed method.
