About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) industry is continuously growing all over the world and India is not an exception to it. The pace of mechanization in the past was very slow due to the availability of cheap and abundant labor, lack of capital investment and the highly fragmented nature of the construction sector. The present approach lacks scientific methodology and does not consider multi-criteria in decision making. There is a need of scientific Ready Mixed Concrete selection approach. Such approach will provide the best selection of Ready Mixed Concrete considering all aspects of the process. Hence this research study is planned to develop a mathematical approach to Ready Mixed Concrete selection with the help of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method which will help the decision maker to understand the problem systematically.
