An industrial study of just in time (JIT) management in precast construction projects

Abstract

Precast construction is an industrialized way to build, meaning transfer of work from factory to site. This increases the quality and productivity of construction and reduces the construction time of a building significantly. The Precast technology is extremely technically challenging, which needs lot of pre engineering and fast decision making from all the professionals involved, like client, architect, service consultants and structural design teams. The JIT philosophy is a vital activity in supervising the transportation of precast concrete elements and the handling of it within the site. This project work is carried out to know about the adaption rate of JIT management in precast construction sites confined to Indian scenario. The different methods used to find the significance of JIT in precast construction are Conversational interviewing, Survey and Journal study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software Version 21.0 is used to analyzing the data. From this project work, we found that there is significant variations among the professionals with different educational qualifications on a few factors like attitude, designing and workplace management.
