In the past decades, several simulation models have been developed to analyze the performance of construction projects and site operations that are fraught with uncertainty. Due the lack of successful practical examples being report, however, the construction industry still has a doubt in using simulation techniques. For this reason, this paper presents a simulation-based example of the site-level structural steel erection operations for a building project located in Taiwan. The example has shown the benefits of using simulation to plan the number of work zones, analyze the resource production rate, and identify critical tasks.
