Logistik i byggbranschen
Fo?r fo?rba?ttrad arbetsmiljo? och effektivitet
Logistics and supply chain management in the construction sector is an area with great potential for improvements. Today, a lot of the workers time is spent on non-value adding activities. Research has shown that waste is a large proportion of the total production cost in building projects today.The purpose of this report is to analyze problems concerning logistics in the construction sector. Two of Skanska?s construction projects in Uppsala have been analyzed to identify problems. The goal of the thesis is to suggest solutions regarding logistics that will improve the work environment and efficiency.The result shows that companies would benefit from using smart logistic services like just in time deliveries and third party logistics. Services like this should be used even if the circumstances of the project don?t require it, as they are conducive to a better working environment and heightened effectivity.Recommendations include having well defined routines and selecting a person responsible for receiving deliveries. Communication and cooperation with other parties in the supply chain is also important. Planning and any subsequent follow-ups have to be carried out effectively and efficiently.
