Samenvatting

from the article: "Abstract
The way in which construction logistics is organised has considerable impact on production flow, transportation efficiency,
greenhouse gas emissions and congestion, particularly in urban areas such as city centres. In cities such as London and
Amsterdam municipalities have issued new legislation and stricter conditions for vehicles to be able to access cities and city
centres in particular. Considerate clients, public as well private, have started developing tender policies to encourage contractors
to reduce the environmental impact of construction projects. This paper reports on an ongoing research project applying and
assessing developments in the field of construction logistics in the Netherlands. The cases include contractors and third party
logistics providers applying consolidation centres and dedicated software solutions to increase transportation efficiency. The case
show various results of JIT logistics management applied to urban construction projects leading to higher transportation
efficiencies, and reduced environmental impact and increased production efficiency on site. The data collections included to-site
en on-site observations, measurement and interviews. The research has shown considerable reductions of vehicles to deliver
goods and to transport workers to site. In addition the research has shown increased production flow and less waste such as
inventory, waiting and unnecessary motion on site."
