Lean Supply Chain Concepts for Concrete Modular Manufacturing
Executive Summary:
Researchers completed a research study exploring potential supply chain innovations for a producer of all-concrete modular homes. The producer is developing a new high-volume modular plant in South Florida. Recommended innovations include a kanban-based lean procurement and replenishment strategy that will slash inventory levels and facilitate reordering, automated equipment to efficiently in-source rebar and poly foam processing operations, and a lean, high density warehouse design that improves storage capacity and smoothes material flow to the production lines.
