This course aims to provide sound and comprehensive coverage of the concepts of quantitative methods for construction decision making. Major topics include: (1) analytic hierarchy process (AHP), (2) decision tree analysis, (3) inventory analysis, (4) simulation techniques, (5) linear, mixed-integer and goal programming, (6) dynamic programming.

CILO-1: Describe the concept of analytic hierarch process (AHP). CILO-2: Outline the major analysis methods for decision theory and inventory control. CILO-3: Apply linear, mixed integer and goal programming in construction. CILO-4: Describe the concept of dynamic programming and its applications. CILO-5: Apply simulation techniques to construction processes.
