本研究的目的是支持承包商從多個選擇中決定選擇哪個項目。在選擇新項目時，必須考慮影響公司現金流的幾個因素。承包商大多有多個項目，需要對一個項目與另一個項目進行良好的財務管理，同時還需要公司運營費用。 SIMUL8 程序將用於執行本研究中提出的模型的仿真。首先，SIMUL8 將對施工過程進行現金流模擬。之後，使用層次分析法（AHP）方法檢查影響現金流量的優先級最高的因素。專家判斷的結果用於提供 AHP 權重或對這些因素的評估。此外，一旦滿足現金流量因素的 AHP 權重的一致性，則繼續使用多標準決策 (MCDM) 進行計算，以找出最佳項目順序。最後，這項研究可以為承包商在選擇新項目時提供建議。

The aim of this study is to support the contractor's decision on which project to take from several choices. When selecting a new project, several factors that affect the company's cash flow must be considered. The contractor mostly has multiple projects, good financial management for one project with another project, while also company operations expenses, is required. The SIMUL8 program will be used to execute the simulation of the model proposed in this study. First, SIMUL8 will give a cash flow simulation for the construction process. After that, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used to examine the factors that have the highest priority in influencing the cash flow. The results of expert judgment are used to provide an AHP weight or an evaluation of these factors. Furthermore, once the consistency of the AHP weight for the cash flow factors is met, the calculation was continued with Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to find out the best project sequence. Finally, this research can provide recommendations for contractors when selecting new projects.
