This research effort consisted of two parts. First, a benchmarking survey was conducted of home manufacturers across the country. Benchmarking current performance is a necessary first step in implementing lean production improvements as it provides a series of metrics to gauge future progress. The results of the benchmarking study also help guide future implementation efforts. Second, an in-depth assessment was conducted at one case study plant. This case study was used to test the process of developing lean techniques for a homebuilding plant. Lean production has been successful in transforming other industries, notably automotive manufacturing. With a focused research program and the commitment of leading manufacturers, similar results may be achievable in the factory homebuilding industry. The successful transformation of factory homebuilding into a lean industry will provide substantial benefits to consumers of affordable housing, as well as improve the health of the industry for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibliogov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47597849215127,"sku":"9781288917853","price":1573.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781288917853.webp?v=1774998766","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/getting-lean-assessing-the-benefits-of-lean-production-in-factory-built-housing-9781288917853","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
