Abstract : The delivery process of ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a critical component in construction projects, influencing the quality, efficiency, and timeliness of concrete placement. This abstract explores the various factors that impact the RMC delivery process, ranging from logistical considerations to concrete properties and customer requirements. Key factors affecting RMC delivery include the distance to the construction site, traffic conditions, weather, regulatory constraints, batching plant operations, order volume, customer specifications, concrete mix design, truck capacity, and communication channels among stakeholders. Each of these factors can significantly influence the success of RMC delivery, posing challenges and opportunities for optimization.
