Abstract: Nowadays, the precast concrete (PC) method is increasingly being adopted worldwide as a construction method offered with the primary process as the precast concrete supply chain (PCSC). The main challenge of the PCSC is inventory reduction and on-time delivery with critical performance time and cost relations. This research applied Just-In-Time (JIT) strategies in PCSC with offsite inventory levels (the day buffer) and batch delivery decisions to solve this challenge. Using discreteevent simulation (DES), this study developed the DES model to find the optimal decision of JIT strategies to reduce manufacturer penalties and improve construction performance. Through a precast project experiment in Vietnam, the model’s results obtained 52% manufacturer penalties saving and 77% construction idle work reduction. Moreover, an optimal combinatorial decision is suggested to decision maker (manufacturer/contractor) for the whole process, such as a 1day-4batch decision with maximum benefit and a 2day-2batch decision for risk ensuring under uncertain performance consideration in the PC wall panel case. This study has contributed to a model developed to support the manufacturer/contractor's makingdecision and provide the scholar with understanding and encouragement for using the JIT application/strategies in the PCSC process.
