Abstract: Construction projects are highly varied. Next to some small buildings of general use, there are large construction projects in civil engineering or industrial construction, road construction projects underway including all accompanying infrastructure. In order to complete construction projects, it is necessary to supply required materials from which the constructions are raised. Proper planning of the supplies enables contractors to carry out work according to previously approved deadlines. When roads are built, the distance between suppliers and a site where given materials will be used change as the work progresses. It is not an uncommon development that the supplier used at the beginning turns to be located too far away as the work continues. In order to plan the supplies well, it is advisable to use mathematical methods which support the decision-making process. This article suggests using linear programming, especially the transport problem, which enable one to find a solution easily.
Keywords: management in the construction industry, managing a construction project, supporting
