Improving organizational–technological and logistics solutions in prefabricated construction through the alignment of information processes

Abstract

The article considers the applied scientific problem of improving organizational, technological and logistical solutions in prefabricated construction by coordinating information processes between participants in construction production. The relevance of the study is due to the increasing complexity of modern construction projects, the widespread use of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, the development of flow methods of labor organization and the need to ensure a high level of rhythm and continuity of material and labor flows. Practical experience in the construction of industrial and low-rise buildings shows that a significant part of the loss of efficiency occurs due to inconsistencies between design, production and installation solutions, which leads to disruptions in delivery schedules, equipment downtime, rework and increased construction times.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate an approach to increasing the efficiency of the configuration of prefabricated elements, organizing logistics processes in flow construction and improving the technology of erecting low-rise buildings by creating a coordinated information environment. Construction production is perceived as a complex organizational and technological system, in which information flows are a key factor in the synchronization of material, resource and technological processes.

The study uses a systems approach, structural and functional analysis, comparative assessment and generalization of practical experience in organizing prefabricated construction. It is shown that the coordination of information between designers, manufacturers of prefabricated elements, logistics services and collection bodies allows developing rational organizational and technological solutions for the configuration of components, maintains the rhythm of production flows and reduces logistics costs.

It is shown that in the conditions of flow construction, logistics processes are the physical embodiment of information flows, and their optimization is impossible without synchronization of production, transportation and assembly schedules. For low-rise buildings using prefabricated structures, a coordinated information environment ensures consistency between design solutions, supply and installation technology, which allows reducing project implementation times and improving the quality of work.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in considering information interaction as a system-forming factor of organizational, technological and logistical solutions in prefabricated construction. The results obtained can be used in the development of construction organization plans, the design of logistical schemes and the implementation of industrial methods of construction of industrial and low-rise buildings.
