- Abstract:
Variation in production is a major cause of producing waste in onsite construction operations, resulting in a workflow that is full of delays and interruptions. To reduce the negative impact of waste in construction, production managers need to address the causes of the variation that results in such waste. This paper explains the way to reduce the effects of variation in construction by changing the task sequence arrangement. The study analyzed the effect of some different task sequence arrangements on the production gap, crew waiting time, and production delay by simulating a group of work tasks and changing the task sequence arrangement from linear to parallel. Accordingly, 100 work activities were simulated in 98 different sequence designs, using a stochastic discrete-event simulation model, during which the number of parallel activities was systematically increased. The main finding from the studied configuration is that arranging tasks in parallel increases waste, whereas it reduces project duration. Moreover, waste resulting from variation was found to be an additional cause of waste when accelerating the production. Finally, it was revealed that the impact of variation on the task sequence highly depends on how often the schedule is updated. This study helps production managers to better understand of how the task sequence arrangement affects production performance in onsite construction operations.
