Abstract

Production and Distribution of Ready Mixed Concrete in a Large Project: The Waltz of the Truck Mixers

Author(s): Marouane Arroub

This paper was realized in the framework of a partnership and constitutes an innovation in the organization of work and a first breakthrough in the resolution of problems in truck mixers with the synchronization of resources in the context of large Moroccan construction projects. We will go through this theme while keeping other themes (for example the synchronization of earthworks, reception of excavations, concreting by truck mixers ...) identified, interesting, and rich in lessons, exchanges on practices, and good practices and which can be the subject of future publications. It involves managing large material flows and synchronizing the work of several teams assigned to the project. The particularity of our study is that all the concrete pouring sites belong to the same project, are spread over several locations and the pouring sites have a demand higher than the capacity of the truck mixers.
