However, the ultimate cost consequences to the project are often difficult to estimate. This schedule compression strategy may adversely impact project cost performance because the overstaffing of critical activities may result in wasted or idle time in these activities. Trade-offs between elapsed time and the associated cost of crew is required to determine the best crew configurations [1]. This is not a trivial issue because of the complex relationships between elapsed time, crew configurations, and their associated costs.
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) has been used widely to solve probabilistic uncertainty in range estimating for projects [2]. It has been extensively used for generating many scenarios by considering the random sampling of each probability distribution. In practice, the probability of an event can be estimated according to the frequency of that event occurring in a number of experiments [3]. However, if the number of experiments is not large enough to be significant, and more experiments cannot be performed, it is not possible to accurately estimate the event’s probability. In these circumstances, we can engage human experts who are usually good at supplying the required information. Some researchers try to convert experts’ knowledge into probabilistic distributions. However, this can lead to pointless and unreliable results since the results are obtained based on experts’ subjective judgments and assumptions [4]. Fuzzy Logic has been used successfully for representing such uncertainties in experts’ judgments [5].
This research proposes a fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation (FMCS) model that provides the capability of considering fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainty simultaneously to help improve decisions regarding crew configurations.
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), or probability simulation, is a technique used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty cost, time, and other forecasting models [4]. MCS estimates the expected value based on historical data, or expertise in the field, or experience. While this estimate is useful for creating a model, it contains some intrinsic uncertainties, because it is an estimate of unknown values [4].
In project management, you could use expert knowledge to estimate the time it will take to complete a particular job, you can also estimate the maximum time it might take, in the worst possible case, and the minimum time, in the best possible case. The same could be done for project costs. The Monte Carlo simulation method is used for estimating the output Y of a function (M) with random input variables (R1, R2, …, Rn) (Figure 1).
The output Y of a function M with random inputs can be calculated using Monte Carlo simulation.
In a Monte Carlo simulation, an arbitrary value is selected for each of the activities, based on the range of estimates. The model is calculated based on this arbitrary value. The result of the model is recorded, and the process is repeated [6]. A traditional Monte Carlo simulation calculates the model hundreds/thousands of times, each time using different randomly selected values. When the simulation is complete, we have a large number of outcomes, each based on random input values. These outcomes are used to describe the likelihood, or probability, of reaching various results in the model [6] (Figure 2).
A probability density function (PDF) developed based on historical data.
Fuzzy logic is a technique that offers a clear conclusion from unclear and inaccurate data. The Fuzzy Set concept was first introduced by Zadeh in 1965 [7]. He was inspired by witnessing that human thinking could utilize ideas that do not have precise borders [8]. Fuzzy logic and fuzzy hybrid methods have been used to capture and model risk, thereby improving workforce and project management [8]. Fuzzy logic can effectively capture expert knowledge and engineering judgment and combine these subjective elements with project data to improve construction decision making, performance, and productivity [9]. The triangular fuzzy number (TFN) is a common shape of fuzzy logic (Figure 3). The α-cut method is a common technique to do arithmetic operations on a Triangular Membership Function [10]. The α-cut signifies the degree of risk that the project managers are ready to take (i.e., no risk to full risk). Because the value of α could significantly affect the solution, it should be wisely chosen by project managers [11].
Triangular fuzzy set developed based on experts’ judgment.
The proposed FMCS is a joint propagation method based on both the probability theory of MCS and the possibility theory of fuzzy arithmetic. A generalized problem in which we have both types of uncertainty, fuzzy and probabilistic. Here, we need to determine the output Y of a function (M) that has R1, R2, …, Rn being random variables and represented by probabilistic distributions and F1 (triangular values), F2 (triangular values), …, Fm being fuzzy sets (Figure 4).
Converting fuzzy sets to PDF before performing Monte Carlo simulation.
The first stage of the model is to defuzzify the fuzzy variables to get crisp values. The centroid method is one of the most common methods for defuzzification, in which the defuzzified value is calculated by finding the center of the area under the membership function.
The second stage of the model is to transfer the crisp sets of numbers that we got in step one to random variables. To that, the confidence level of the intervals is estimated using the probability of that interval. This probability is equal to the area under the PDF that is bounded within that interval. Among different intervals of the same confidence level, the most informative interval is the one with minimal length [8].
The third stage of the model is to use an optimization algorithm for finding a set of optimal values minimizing or maximizing the given object function [MIN F(X) or MAX F(X)] subjected to minimum-maximum intervals. Then, the uncertainty quantifications propagated using the obtained optimal values are represented as a plausibility distribution and a belief distribution. Figure 5 shows Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation (FMCS) process.
Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation (FMCS) process.
To illustrate an implementation of the FMCS model, the researcher analyzes the behavior of FMCS framework in comparison with traditional Monte Carlo simulation using a time range estimating example. Consider a sample application by [12] of a time range estimating problem for an excavation project. The time and cost needed for the project equipment are shown in Table 1, and probabilistic distributions are used to express the uncertainty regarding those variables.
Activity | Triangular duration (min) | Triangular cost ($/min) |
---|---|---|
20 cu yd hauler: haul, unload, return | (18,33,48) | 2.39 |
15 cu yd hauler: haul, unload, return | (15,28,41) | 2.29 |
Activity time and cost data.
These uncertainties may result from uncertainty regarding different scenarios that may happen in the field during construction. For example, uncertainty in the activity duration may be a result of uncertainty associated with the productivity of workers or variability in weather conditions.
The case study evaluated seven alternatives using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), to compare the presented FMCS model with the traditional MCS that is used by [12], we will evaluate the same alternatives to see if the outcomes of the new FMCS model will be different. The seven equipment configurations alternatives are shown in Table 2.
Alternatives | Configurations |
---|---|
Alt 1 | 4 of 20-cu yd haulers |
2 of 15-cu yd haulers | |
Alt 2 | 5 of 20-cu yd haulers |

Alternatives of equipment configurations.
Using Fuzzy logic toolbox in MATLAB the FMCS generates the results shown in Table 3.
Alternatives | Shift duration (days) | Shift cost ($) |
---|---|---|
Alt 1 | 26 | 77,438 |
Alt 2 | 26 | 86,667 |

Alt 4 | 31 | 67,549 |
Alt 5 | 33 | 61,170 |
Alt 6 | 17 | 98,014 |
FMCS results.
From Table 3, we can conclude that the best alternative is number seven with shift duration of 17 days and shift cost of $79,050. By comparing this result with the result published by [12], we find out that [12] concluded that the best alternative is also alternative seven with shift duration of 18 days and shift cost of $82,665.
This chapter proposes a new FMCS model. This model can consider both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainty in the resource planning problem. The model provides decision-makers with the ability to reduce risk in the output in the form of fuzziness and probabilistic uncertainty, and he/she can use subjective judgment and experience to make the final decision. A case study has been analyzed to evaluate the robustness of the FMCS model. The outcomes show that the proposed FMCS model could help reduce the duration and cost of a certain task, which will help reduce the cost and duration of the project.

\\n"}]'},components:[{type:"htmlEditorComponent",content:'Copyright is the term used to describe the rights related to the publication and distribution of original Works. Most importantly from a publisher's perspective, copyright governs how Authors, publishers and the general public can use, publish, and distribute publications.
\n\nIntechOpen only publishes manuscripts for which it has publishing rights. This is governed by a publication agreement between the Author and IntechOpen. This agreement is accepted by the Author when the manuscript is submitted and deals with both the rights of the publisher and Author, as well as any obligations concerning a particular manuscript. However, in accepting this agreement, Authors continue to retain significant rights to use and share their publications.
\n\nHOW COPYRIGHT WORKS WITH OPEN ACCESS LICENSES?
\n\nAgreement samples are listed here for the convenience of prospective Authors:
\n\nDEFINITIONS
\n\nThe following definitions apply in this Copyright Policy:

\n\nWork - a Chapter, including Conference Papers, a Scientific Article and any and all text, graphics, images and/or other materials forming part of or accompanying the Chapter/Conference Paper.
\n\nMonograph/Compacts - a full manuscript usually written by a single Author, including any and all text, graphics, images and/or other materials.
\n\nCompilation - a collection of Works distributed in a Book that IntechOpen has selected, and for which the coordination of the preparation, arrangement and publication has been the responsibility of IntechOpen. Any Work included is accepted in its entirety in unmodified form and is published with one or more other contributions, each constituting a separate and independent Work, but which together are assembled into a collective whole.
\n\nScientific Journal – Periodical publication intended to further the progress of science.
\n\nJournal Article/Scientific Article – Publication based on empirical evidence. It can support a hypothesis with original research, describe existing research or comment on current trends in a specific field.
