Popis: Process of ready mixed concrete (RMC) delivery is an example of multi-objective optimization due to the conflicting objectives of the parties involved. In order to face this problem, discrete event simulation model of the delivery process is created with input parameters based on the surveyed data of real processes. The model is simulated with different vehicle dispatching policies and the results are analysed focusing on performance indicators. The research results compared in terms of Pareto optimality indicate that employing effective dispatching strategies can reduce both site idle time and waiting time of vehicles. © 2020 M.
