Optimizing Manufacturing Efficiency of Prefab Modular Housing Using LEAN Principles
FY 2023-24 · 2023-09-25
Summary
In recent years, modular construction has increasingly become recognized as an environmentally sustainable technology that is able to provide quality homes to meets the needs of Canada’s housing affordability and supply crisis. In order to fully take advantage of the potential of modular homes, companies must take off their “construction hat” and put on their “manufacturing hat”. Efficiencies in the way that buildings are built must be derived from industries that been successful in “customized standardization”, such as car manufacturing. ROC Modular is currently running an assembly line process for module manufacturing and is looking to incorporate Design for Manufacturing Assembly (DFMA), Lean/Kaizen principles and levels of autom

Description (French)
Ces dernières années, la construction modulaire a été de plus en plus reconnue comme une technologie durable sur le plan environnemental, capable de fournir des maisons de qualité répondant aux besoins de la crise de l’accessibilité et de l’offre de logements au Canada. Pour tirer pleinement parti du potentiel des maisons modulaires, les entreprises doivent retirer leur «chapeau de construction» et mettre leur «chapeau de fabrication». Les gains d’efficacité dans la manière dont les bâtiments sont construits doivent être dérivés des industries qui ont réussi la «normalisation personnalisée», comme la construction automobile. ROC Modular utilise actuellement une chaîne de montage pour la fabrication des modules et cherche à intégrer la conception de la fabrication (DFMA), les principes Lean/Kaizen et les niveaux d’automatisation.
