Abstract

Partner selection is an important problem in supply chain management. The renewable resources suppliers are the most immediate partners for contractor in construction supply chain and their capacity will form constraints to project scheduling. The mathematical model for selecting these suppliers in construction projects is proposed and the principle to reduce the solution space is discussed. Following that, a schema with a hybrid genetic algorithm(GA) to solve the problems is designed wherein chromosome is composed of two parts: one represents partner selection, the other is an activities chain with precedence relationship, and different genetic operators are set on them respectively. Finally, an example is given to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
