Abstract
The use of prefabricated interior panels is increasing in the construction industry because of their proven quality on projects and ability to shorten project time. However, stacking and installation sequences of the panels often do not match because stacking and installation planners generate sequences based on different criteria (e.g., transportation safety and cost, installation time-efficiency) in a separate manner. Thus, reshuffling the panels delivered on site is required to comply with the installation sequences. To develop optimal stacking and installation sequences with respect to multiple objectives (e.g., cost, duration, safety), it is fundamental to be able to evaluate reshuffling efforts for multiple sequences of stacking and installation in a timely and quantitative manner. However, current practitioners have difficulty rapidly and quantitatively evaluating those efforts because existing methods focus on minimizing the number of bunks and material handling distances. To overcome this challenge, the authors defined any additional movements as reshuffling efforts and formalized procedures to count the number of movements required to install each panel from bunks delivered on site. Using this method, the authors evaluated the reshuffling efforts for 83 bunk reports and five installation plans. The results showed that, on average, 34% additional movements were required for installation crews to complete the installation work following the installation sequence. This proposed method will enable practitioners to evaluate reshuffling efforts in a rapid and quantitative manner and help them identify the optimal stacking and installation sequences in advance. Future research will account for planners' rationales of generating stacking and installation sequences and formalize an integrated method to assess multiple performance metrics of transportation and installation, such as costs, time, and safety.
