However, moving equipment and material with the excavator is not adding value to the product per se, but we argue that it is not waste either and therefore an indirect value. Thus the process carried out re- quires both an excavator and ground work- ers. A challenge is that they can not work in the same space at the same time. When the excavator is finished with its task, ground workers starts their and the excavator have to wait until the ground workers are fin- ished.

The non-value adding work is when one worker was waiting for the other worker to complete the work. In that case one worker waits when the other is still working. Resting time is when both workers do not do anything. As for excavator 1, one challenge is that the two workers can not work in the same space at the same time. FREE OBSERVATIONS The construction site was divided into ground works and construction of houses and the two Skanska teams did not collide since they worked in different places on the site. There- fore they could perform their tasks without disturbing each other. The size of the site enabled the actors to use all the space they needed, therefore material and equipment could be placed where found appropriate. BOM 025 Construction, Processes and Management - Group Assignment - Group 8 - Annie Hallman, Jonas Landin, Erik Olsson, Jan Vatter, Charlet Sandra Chinnaparaj SUMMARIZING REFLECTIONS Reducing non added value in ground work is problematic in the sense that it is difficult to say what is in the ground even though investi- gations are performed in advance. Another challenge is that several actors work at the same location and are interdependent. The environment on the construction site can change rapidly and an area used for material storage could a few days later be the area of a house. This could lead to delays that effects the project which requires good planning of surfaces and logistics. We define indirect value as when the driver of the excavator performed tasks such as moving material, set out heights, reading and communicating drawings to the others, set outs of locations of wells and placement of cellular plastic. The non added value was when nothing was done, neither added value nor indirect value. UNNECESSARY TRANSPORT The workers had to walk from the working area to the material storage to pick up cellular plastic, which included walking across the foundation of house 11. This resulted in time loss for trans- porting material and it can also lead to damages on the foundation they had to cross. To dispose of unusable material the workers had to walk to the contain- er for rubbish which mostly is a tiring work but also a time loss because of the long way of transportation. Maybe the workers walked to the container only because they had nothing else to do. In this case, the added value was when the excavator was running, indirect added val- ue when moving material. The non added value was when no work were performed but the driver was inside the excavator. During the observation, both the excava- tor and the loader stood still most of the time and were only used to lift heavy con- crete elements. Machines standing still is costly, but the task could not have been performed without the two machines. In this case, we think that there is a big op- portunity to improve. 18% 10% 4% 68% Green small excavator Added value Indirect added value Non added value Unmanned

DESCRIPTION

Constrcution Process- Technical ProjectCommissioning of construction site was performed during the construction of Brottkarr heights. Resource intake, usage and wastage on site were studied and lean implication procedure on construction site was suggested. Efficiency of machines and labour on site were numerically studied to increase performance.Skills gained- Productivity, Performance Measurement and Lean in Construction
