Abstract
Industrialised house-building suppliers must learn to see how the lack of resource management disrupt the

synchronisation of their production processes both upstream (e.g. capability to forecast material consumption) and

downstream (e.g. order delivery Just-in-Time). In contrast to focus on workflow as is more common in construction,

Systematic Production Analysis (SPA) is a tool capable of providing a more robust production process in terms of better

resource characterisation and predictability. A roadmap model, composed of six steps, has been developed for simple

introduction of SPA. The model is a straightforward way of classifying the production system in terms of impacting

resource and parameters attributing to production loss (scrap or downtime). The applicability of SPA is analysed through

a pilot case study at a patio door manufacturer. Two main response parameters emerged related to scrap; surface and

dimension errors of the work piece material (wood). An objective function was formulated to reduce the scrap without

increasing the total cost of the work piece material. It was suggested that the case company evaluates Engineering Wood

Products (EWP) leading to a more robust production process (less scrap), but in turn increasing the initial cost of the

work piece material. Other potential measures are purchasing new processing tools, investing in new machinery or

educating workers which all, directly or indirectly, lead to reduced scrap. Consequently, proper management of

production resources will improve their predictability and in turn improve production control.
