Abstract
Production and supply of construction materials plays a significant role in the delivery of constructed facilities, especially for concrete and asphalt batch plants. The construction material (e.g., concrete) supply chain presents unique challenges, but is a key factor in successfully delivering facilities. This paper presents the development and application of a simulation-based aggregate planning approach that facilitates modeling and coordination of a batch plant’s supply chain. The tool is applied to a real case of asphalt production operations, where fluctuating demand affects the service level of the production plant and makes the planning of production and inventory processes a challenging task. The model quantifies the effects of different parameters of the asphalt production plant on its level of service and assists in finding the best configurations for the plant’s production, inventory, and distribution processes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
