The construction of many buildings requires ready mixed concrete (RMC) delivery from concrete plants. It is common to supply multiple construction sites, simultaneously, from one or more concrete plants. In such cases, a crucial task is planning the appropriate delivery schedule to each construction site in order to minimize or avoid machinery idli...
