Description
Summary:Industrial Building System (IBS) is the construction method that organized as industrial construction process. This system save construction time and workers, provide better quality control, and enhance the productivity. In other hand, the construction method that offers economization of design will provide protection against any change in the cost factors. The aim of this study is to determine the process flow of assembly of components in construction that was (IBS) components for main structural system of the building. For this purpose a study was conducted to analyze ways to improve the implementation of IBS in terms for assembly of components for 80 workshops construction distributed within 6 zones in Dubai Maritime City. The thesis describes the simulation modeling approach by using assembly components simulation process in construction using Arena10 simulator software. An analysis of the research results indicate that there is a way of improving the system process of construction project operations. The result of using simulated (BTA) Model with the existing resources has achieved of completion period of 2 days earlier than actual construction site completion. While (FCFS) model strategy has achieved less completion time compare to (BTA) by 4 days, However by using more number of resources (BTA) could be better than (FCFS) to achieve less completion time.
