Construction Industry in Sweden
- Construction Industry (2007)
- 68.000 companies
- € 50.000 million turnover
- 450.000 employees
- Construction Companies (2007)
- 24.000 companies
- € 24.000 million turnover
- 270.000 employees
- Peab and SBE (Skandinaviska Byggelement)
- € 3.500 million turnover
- 12.000 employees
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
The Product
Traditional house building Modularized / Prefabricated house building On-site Built from raw materials On-site Built from modules In factory Built from raw materials

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

Implications: Postponement of customer allocations
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

Implications: Utilize Lean production initiatives to reduce cost
Manufacturing Strategy

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)
