On-site factories to support lean principles and industrialized construction

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the use on-site factories that combine strengths both prefabrication techniques and a traditional work environment support lean principles promote industrialized construction for operations. Design/methodology/approach Based on design manufacturing assembly (DfMA), discrete-event simulation used evaluate different arrangements configurations an factory structural insulated panels (SIPs). Findings proposed provided feasible way principles. Also, these types are particularly relevant projects in remote areas do not have sufficient infrastructure. Further, it also good solution strengthening local economy by using labor suppliers, hence assisting creation socially responsible framework. Originality/value This presents SIPs. type supports only but promotes social responsibility capitalizing labor. approach could be interesting companies developing countries or working project with limited
