Abstract
Takt production has been of great interest in construction during the last few years. In this research, a case study was carried out to demonstrate how the scheduling of an apartment building renovation project that utilizes takt production can be done. Furthermore, the study defines what clarifications should be made into the existing takt production models in the context of apartment building renovation projects, and it also explains why. Based on the study, adhering to a uniform production rate is challenging in apartment renovation projects. Therefore, a total of five clarifications to existing takt production methods are suggested. (1) Production with short takt requires a highly detailed definition of tasks in order to avoid ambiguousness. (2) Some tasks carried out in takt areas may have to be excluded from takt production. (3) The sensitivity of a created takt schedule should be evaluated, and buffers should be added accordingly. (4) Emphasis must be put on coordinating takted and non-takted tasks. (5) Takt plan modification during production requires effective procedures, since there is little time to react.
Highlights
Practices familiar from the manufacturing industry are utilized in construction more and more.One of these methods is takt production, which several construction projects have sought to take advantage of during the last decade or so, e.g., [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
Renovation differs from new construction in several different factors, merely because the existing building and its constraints must be taken into account in both building design and production planning
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the scheduling of an apartment building renovation project that utilizes takt production can be done, as well as what factors affect the scheduling
Summary
Practices familiar from the manufacturing industry are utilized in construction more and more.One of these methods is takt production, which several construction projects have sought to take advantage of during the last decade or so, e.g., [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. The adoption of takt production especially in apartment building renovation projects may be fruitful, as apartment buildings have often been mass produced. Such mass produced buildings are suitable for the application of a takt production, which is effective for utilizing repetition [4,13]. Renovation differs from new construction in several different factors, merely because the existing building and its constraints must be taken into account in both building design and production planning. Since renovation differs from new construction in several different factors, utilizing takt production in the context of renovation projects must be addressed
