Decision-Making Approaches for Deconstruction Operations Optimization: A Literature Review
摘要
The construction industry needs to rethink its current waste management practices. One solution path is applying circular economy (CE) principles to building demolition such as deconstruction practice. Considered as a more-resource-friendly alternative compared to standard demolition, deconstruction involves dismantling a building with the aim of maintaining the highest possible value for its materials and maximizes their recovery potential. This chapter reviews the literature to identify and analyze recent research studies reporting on decision-making approaches developed for deconstruction operations planning (e.g., project scheduling, material transportation planning, and logistics network design). Specifically, the decision-making approaches are presented through the description of the supply chain operations, the planning level, the decisions to be made, as well as the objectives considered in the optimization models proposed. The application of some of these approaches on case studies is also discussed. Finally, this chapter identifies the limitations of current research in the field and suggests future research perspectives.
