Lean-Mod: An Approach to Modular Construction Manufacturing Production Efficiency Improvement
DownloadSpring 2014
Modular construction manufacturing (MCM) is superior to the current on-site construction system which is hampered by inefficiency and material and process waste. Modular buildings are potentially built through a more efficient and cost-effective method, but in the current manufacturing-based...
