This paper analyses the current operations and labour utilization rates for a project team engaged in the prefabrication of exterior wall panels, in an existing manufacturing facility in Tempe, Arizona. A current state process is defined for the BIM-to-install process of each exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) wall panel. Through analysis of the current state, it is found that only 17% of time was spent directly modelling components meant for prefabrication. The remaining 83% of time engaged in modelling is subject to optimization. Based on these findings, a discussion is presented regarding in place scheduling procedures, model and data management protocols, and field to shop verification/validation measures impacting modelling activities. Finally, a presentation of a series of future workflow interventions intended to improve labour utilization rates for modelling and shop personnel while enabling the internal shop ideal for “mass customization through prefabrication” is provided.

Siden 2008 har deltagere på Aarhus Universitets (AU) vejledningskurser udarbejdet individuelle vejlederbreve, som de kan anvende i vejledningsprocessen. I artiklen præsenteres en kvantitativ undersøgelse af hvor mange, der anvender vejlederbrevet. Endvidere diskuteres vejlederbrevets potentiale til at fremme relationen i vejledningsprocessen, herunder om vejlederbrevet kan tydeliggøre sammenhænge mellem læringsmål, vurderingskriterier og studerendes læringsaktiviteter.

Summer is here. Not only have you noticed that the dogwood and irises are in bloom, but you've also tracked the barrage of garden and lawn‐related questions of the past few months:
