Kartläggning av materialflödet i Peabs försörjningskedja till byggarbetsplats med SCOR
The construction industry has not undergone the same logistical development as the manufacturing industry; this, in combination with increased material price, leads to the fact that the construction industry must be improved. This master thesis is a part of the research cooperation Brains & Bricks goal of reducing production costs for the construction sector by 25 percent. Brains & Bricks is a cooperation between Linköping University, Peab and Katrineholms municipality. The master thesis aims to identify improvements in the flow of material, the Supply chain operation reference, SCOR, model has been used and the work has been carried out on one of Peab?s construction sites. At present the business is characterized by bad communication both between the construction site and the office as well as between the construction site and suppliers. Material obtained from local suppliers contributes to unnecessarily long flows of material. The absence of quantitative data is palpable and makes an evaluation of the situation hard to achieve. The result of the work shows that there exists a great potential of cost savings in a reduction of the material flow. A quantitative analysis of the metric "perfect order fulfillment" shows that no examined supplier meets the expectations. With the help of quantitative evaluations which is served to the supplier the possibility to overcome the problems is increased. In order to improve communication internally it is suggested that any major construction site dedicates a person to manage the logistics and act as a link between the construction site and the office. Establishment of a terminal where products could be gathered allows Peab to use its size to obtain volume discounts. The terminal also allows more frequent deliveries of specific products at the same time as the total number of deliveries can be reduced. Moreover, the terminal serves as a natural consolidation point for gypsum waste, which allows for a profitable recycling of it.
