As a simulation methodology, CYCLONE has been widely used in the design and analysis of construction operation for over the last 20 years. MicroCYCLONE, as the implementation computer program of CYCLONE, had a great contribution in the promotion of CYCLONE. However, MicroCYCLONE is a DOS-based program and has not been improved since the existence of Windows-based computer operation system. This paper aims to introduce a new simulation program named as Construction Operation Simulation Tool (COST). It was developed using Visual Basic programming language based on CYCLONE methodology. COST not only updates the MicroCYCLONE program, but provides fuzzy data simulation function that facilitates the modeling uncertainty
