Monte-carlo simulation for construction schedule of Thac Chuoi reservoir in Quang Binh province

Abstract

In Vietnam at present, construction schedule is mainly done using horizontal diagram method (GANTT). This method does not show the correlation between jobs and construction time is determined based on the experience and subjectivity of the founder. PERT was born to overcome the disadvantages of this
method, but PERT is usually only interested in a critical path, not the possible paths that are the critical path in the calculation process, moreover, the determination of minimum time, maximum time, and expected time values are often difficult. Therefore, using Monte-Carlo simulation will help overcome
the above problems. The article is based on the previous researches of the author to simulate the construction schedule of Thac Chuoi reservoir in Quang Binh province following Monte-Carlo simulation. Thereby helping the relevant parties have an additional method to set up and manage the construction schedule
