“…The transport organization is interested in the reduction of unproductive expensesand obtaining an economic effect from the implementation of the event, improving business reputation, as well as complying with the principles of corporate social responsibility (Kyriacou et al, 2019). These components must be taken into account when planning costs in the formation of organizational and technical measures (Barrientos et al, 2016). Thus, the block diagram of information support for planning to improve the quality and efficiency of transport organizations is shown in Figure 01.…”

The authors of the paper considered a block diagram of planning organizational and technical measures, on the basis of which an indicator and a criterion for the estimation of the economic effect and efficiency are presented. All indicators and variables included in them are formalized. They are described and presented in the form of a system that clearly shows how one indicator can be formed from another. Each indicator is a function of many variables. All indicators for the estimation of the planned organizational and technical measures described in the paper are adjusted for uncertainty and risk calculated using the Delphi method. They are also brought to the initial planning period by applying the appropriate coefficients. According to the presented system of indicators, the authors, using a morphological model of quality and efficiency planning, show in what sequence the described indicators and criteria can be applied when planning organizational and technical measures of transport organizations to improve the quality and efficiency of their production activities in the aspect of corporate social responsibility. The results of the study can be applied both to develop an automated management system for enterprises in the transport industry and to conduct technical and economic calculations and develop plans for various levels in transport organizations.

“…This indicates a continuing violation of society's rights to a safe environment. On the basis of works that are written by a number of researchers (Barrientos et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2011;Malekpour et al, 2017), we can infer that the economy and society demand management approaches which include an assessment of possible losses due to the implementation of the system risks, as well as an assessment of the impact of indirect environmental effects. It is in line with the paradigm of corporate social responsibility increase and allows reducing enterprises' unproductive costs.…”

This article reviews the accomplishments of studies in which optimization tools were used to develop energy-efficient and sustainable construction schedules. With the increase in global awareness of environmental issues, the construction industry has been forced to explore innovative techniques to make the building process more energy-efficient and sustainable. Project managers can use optimization tools in their scheduling procedures to address these issues in the early stages of the project. Therefore, this paper examines different optimization-based construction scheduling methods and their impact on schedule energy efficiency and the three key sustainability goals: economic viability, social equity, and environmental protection. Such a review has not yet been conducted to the best of our knowledge. This research aims to fill the gap and contribute to understanding advanced optimization tools that can pave the way to energy-efficient and sustainable scheduling practices. After a brief introduction, the background of optimization-based construction scheduling techniques that aim to improve construction management and incorporate these aspects into the decision-making process is explained. Then, these approaches are addressed in detail. It is determined for each study whether it adopted energy efficiency goals and which sustainability dimensions it considered within the proposed optimization model. The results of this study indicate a wide heuristic algorithms application for complex scheduling problems. Meanwhile, mathematical programming is still quite unexplored, especially methods that utilize algebraic modeling languages. This study provides a foundation for further research by addressing the current reach in development and possible knowledge gaps that could be researched in future studies. The paper also discusses the advantages and limitations of different approaches and illustrates the potential for utilizing these methods. Supported by the main review findings, conclusions and recommendations for further research are provided.
