Integrated BIM/Lean Base Production Line Schedule Model for Modular Construction Manufacturing
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and lean are two distinct concepts used in the construction industry which are independently applied to the construction process and provide profound impacts. Evidence shows potential gain if both BIM and lean are integrated. This research proposes an integrated model that applies both BIM and lean on a modular construction manufacturing (MCM) process and gains the benefits of both concepts. A computer tool for drafting the modular construction process called MCMPro was expanded to generate the building components' schedule. The Value Stream Map (VSM) of the factory is generated based on the components' schedule through a proposed Integrated Process Improvement (IPI) method using a set of mix lean principles to reduce waste over a broad range of factory activities. A simulation model using Simphony.NET 3.5 is developed to run the generated VSM and produces the results. The proposed methodology is validated by a case study, which is a modular building located in Edmonton, AB, and illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
