Flow process analysis in construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is argued that the flow process analysis essentially provides two new options for improvement of production: elimination or reduction of non value adding activities (also called waste) in flow processes and increase of output value from the customer point of view. The typical categories of waste and value loss in a construction project are analyzed in this framework, and the corresponding improvement or redesign prescriptions for construction flow processes are determined.

A large part of Iran is considered a semi-arid regions and water is a limiting factor for human activities in these areas. One of the ways to eliminate seasonal shortages of water is using groundwater. Underground dams can be used for storing and using underground water, which can be used to improve the management of existing water resources and increase the productivity of these resources.1 . ...
متن کاملTwo Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model
Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...

The construction project is a business full of risk in every process due to its complexity, changes, and involvement from various stakeholders. One of the critical risks in the construction project is in the supply chain. Identifying and assessing the risk with the right tools and methods in that area will inevitably affect the success of the project. Unfortunately, the research for the tools a...
متن کاملFE-Based Analysis of Hot Forming Process Using the Flow Stress Prediction Model
In hot forming process, the workpiece undergoes plastic deformation at high temperature and the microstructure of the workpiece changes according to the plastic deformation. These changes affect the mechanical properties of workpiece. In order to optimize this process, both the plastic deformation of workpiece and its microstructural changes should be taken into consideration. Since material be...
