Problem Area

  • Problem
  • Houses are expensive to build – the price becomes high
  • Customers like low prices
  • Customers like low costs of living
  • Solution
  • Lower cost house production
  • Modularized concepts and prefabrication to lower production costs
  • Trend
  • Higher degree of modularization and prefabrication in house

production

  • Purpose
  • Describe the shift from construction site to prefabrication

Industrial House Building

  • Product and Process Matrix
  • Hayes and Wheelwright, 1979
  • Supply Chain
  • Fisher, 1997
  • Customer Order Decupling Point
  • Wikner and Rudberg, 2005
  • Planning System
  • Berry and Hill, 1992 and Olhager et al., 2001
  • Manufacturing Strategy
  • Hill, 2000 and Hayes and Wheelwright, 1984

Product and Process Matrix

  • I. Low volume,

low standardisation,

  • ne of a kind
  • II. Multiple

products, low volume

  • III. Few major

products, higher volume

  • IV. High

volume, high standardisation, commodities

  • I. Firm position
  • II. Jumbled flow

(job shop)

  • III. Disconnected

line flow (batch)

  • IV. Connected

line flow (assembly line)

  • V. Continuous

flow

The Planning System

Product Characteristics: Type of product Standard → Special Range of products Narrow → Broad Production volume per period High → Low Levels of planning: Sales and operations planning (a) Level Chase Master production scheduling MTS ATO MTO Materials planning Rate based Time phased Production activity control Pull / JIT Push / MRP

Source: Berry and Hill, 1992 and Olhager et al., 2001

Implications: Utilize Lean production initiatives to reduce cost

Order Winner Order Qualifier Acceptable Level Better Characteristics Perceived Customer Value

Price Felxibility

Implications: New ways to compete on the market are necessary

Conclusions and Outlook

  • Traditional House Building
  • Construction Company: Peab
  • On site, time phased, responsive
  • High cost, long lead time
  • Modularized / Prefabricated House Building
  • Construction Company: SBE
  • In factory, rate based, efficient, postponement
  • Low cost, short lead time
  • Outlook
  • Supply Chain Structures (Sourcing)
  • Drivers for Industrial House Building (Production and Distribution)
  • Case Studies (Inwall)
