Abstract

The inventory of many materials requires a large storage space, and the longer the storage period, the higher the potential maintenance cost. When materials are stored on a construction site, there are also concerns about safety due to the reduction of room for movement and working. On the other hand, construction sites that do not store materials have insufficient inventory, making it difficult to respond to demands such as sudden design changes. Ordering materials is then subject to delays and extra costs. Although securing an appropriate amount of inventory is important, in many cases, material management on a construction site depends on the experience of the site manager, so a reasonable material inventory management plan that reflects the construction conditions of a site is required. This study proposes an economical material management method by reflecting variables such as the status of the preceding and following activities, site size, material delivery cost, timing of an order, and quantity of orders. To this end, we set the appropriate inventory amount while adjusting related activities in the activity network, using float time for each activity, the size of the yard, and the order quantity as the main variables, and applied a genetic algorithm to this process to suggest the optimal order timing and order quantity. The material delivery cost derived from the results is set as a fitness index and the efficiency of inventory management was verified through a case application.

많은 자재의 재고를 위해서는 넓은 야적공간이 요구되며, 보관기간이 길어짐에 따라 유지비용이 증가하고, 자재를 건설 현장에 적치할 경우 이동 불편과 작업공간 부족으로 안전사고가 우려된다. 반면 자재를 확보하지 못한 건설 현장은 재고가 부족하여 설계변동 등의 예상치 못한 수요 발생 시 대응이 어렵고 공기 지연 발생과 잦은 주문으로 인해 주문 비용이 증가할 수 있다. 이렇듯 적정재고량의 확보는 중요한 요소임에도 불구하고 건설 현장의 자재관리는 많은 경우에 현장관리자의 경험에 의존해 운영되는 사례가 많으므로 현장의 공정 조건이 반영된 합리적인 자재 재고관리 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구는 선후행 공정 현황, 야적장 크기, 자재 운반비, 주문 시기, 주문량 등과 같은 현장 조건을 반영하여 경제성 있는 자재관리 방법론을 제안한다. 이를 위해 공정별 여유시간, 야적장의 크기, 주문량을 주요 변수로 하여 공정표에서 부속공정을 조정하면서 적정재고량을 설정하고, 이 과정에 유전알고리즘을 적용하여 최적화된 주문 시점 및 주문량을 제시한다. 결과를 통해 도출된 운반비는 적합도 지표로 설정하고 사례적용을 통한 재고관리의 효율성을 검증한다.
