The application of a quantitative approach to determine optimum crane position is highly desirable for construction site planning.

Zusammenfassung:The application of a quantitative approach to determine optimum crane position is highly desirable for construction site planning. This paper describes a stochastic (random number generation to simulate real-world event sequences) simulation model to optimize the location of a single tower crane. Readers will wish to know that this model has been expanded to deal with the location of multiple cranes.
