Method of implementing just in time concept in construction

Abstract

The article focuses on implementing Just in Time concept in the construction industry when engineering buildings using "just-in-sequence" method. The essence of the concepts and method, their positive aspects are considered in the broadest expression. The study describes the logic of interaction between three subsystems of the construction production system: installation sites, vehicles, and warehouses of finished products supplier plants. An algorithm and a method for formulating an operational daily plan for “just in time” supplying construction sites with precast concrete structures, taking into account the technological sequence and deadlines set at the stage of developing the calendar plan for facility construction, are proposed. The method comprises the temporal settings of the beginning and end of sets installation, scheduling vehicles to load in loading points at supplier plants, and the calculation of the required number of vehicles. The elaborated method makes it possible to implement Just in Time concept in buildings construction based on operational daily working plans of construction companies, supplier plants, and transport companies.
