Analysis of Non-Value-Adding Activities in Prefabricated Building Construction Project: Case Study
Prefabricated building is gradually becoming a significant direction of the construction industry; however, its construction process is still experiencing waste of time, cost, and resources due to complex activities and the weak of professional workers. Non-value-adding (NVA) activities is critique to be an important lean construction theory. Through analysis of the NVA activities, the waste of workflow can be removed. This study applied the micro-level analysis method in prefabricated building project, to analyze the NVA activities in the construction process. Then the optimized of the construction process were suggested based on the requirements of the construction standard and the depth interviews with the participants in the workflow. The study found that many activities proved to be NVA activities, like poor communication. It is also proposed the improvement methods as online communication. Eventually, the efficiency of prefabricated building construction process can be improved by eliminating the NVA activities.
