AB  - All construction projects require well-organized logistics processes to ensure progress within budget and time. However, these processes are often decentralized and inefficient, leading to waste, high costs and delays. Business games have proven effective in raising awareness of the importance of construction logistics and disseminating optimization concepts.
Based on a systematic literature review of digital tools in construction logistics and a user-oriented approach, a serious game was developed in an iterative process to highlight the benefits of these tools and the relevance of logistics. Designed for 10–17 participants over 2.5 hours, the game introduces principles like Pull, Kanban, Just-in-Time, and the Supermarket concept for pre-positioned storage near construction sites. The game also incorporates a digital delivery bill, enabling continuous tracking via QR codes and partially automated evaluations of delivery times and progress. To evaluate the developed serious game, feedback was collected from the participants through questionnaires and expert interviews.
This interactive approach demonstrates the value of digital tools and fosters understanding of efficient construction logistics practices. The target group consists of students and professionals, who should understand the effects of the use of lean construction and digital tools in the field of construction logistics.
