This article presents the main results of using a simulation tool to predict time and optimize the resource utilization for the transportion of materials processes in the construction project on Phu Quy island. A simulation model, which includes activities of material transfer processes, has been established and developed based on the EZStrobe simulation program. Various simulation scenarios with different resource usage options have been analyzed. The simulation results are also compared and evaluated with real-world project data. It indicates that for both productivity, time and cost, the option of using two 50-ton cranes at the dock; two 25-ton cranes at the storage yard and four trucks will be the best solution. The results of the study demonstrated the effectiveness of the simulation program, which may help managers choose the resource allocation plan and apply necessary changes to obtain the optimum results in terms of production and cost efficiency for the transportion of contruction materials on the island.
