Gray Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model for Optimization of Cost for Sustainable Design and Construction Using Value Engineering
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
摘要
This research aims to optimize of sustainable design and construction cost using gray multi-criteria decision-making through value engineering approach by reducing unnecessary costs while maintaining essential functionality. Despite its advantages, this approach has not been widely explored in sustainable design and construction due to several constraints such as an excessive focus on cost, inability to meet varied criteria, reliance on team votes for solution ranking, disregard for inherent uncertainties, and disputes among team members. These limitations have hindered its effectiveness. To tackle these challenges, this research endeavors to create a comprehensive model that combines value engineering with sustainable design and construction cost management, utilizing gray multi-criteria decision-making. The model comprises two phases. The first phase involves identifying an initial set of improvement solutions and localizing criteria extracted from the literature through the perspectives of the value engineering team. These criteria are then weighted using the gray stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis technique. Subsequently, the team assigns scores to each solution based on the criteria list using gray numbers. The scores are amalgamated using the gray evaluation based on distance from average solution method, and the solutions are prioritized accordingly. By employing this method, the study aims to overcome the limitations of conventional value engineering and establish a more efficient framework for sustainable design and construction cost management.
