“…Precast concrete companies are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) [9]. While LM tools such as VSM, Kanban/pull, and TPM are mostly utilized, literature reviews from past journals show that JIT production is rarely implemented in SMEs [10].…”

Although fully automated production systems have been developed and used in some industry leaders, most of the precast factories have yet to be developed to that stage. Semi-automated production lines are still popularly used. As production productivity can be maximally improved within the physical constraints by applying a sound production plan, this paper tends to propose a production planning method for the semi-automated precast production line using genetic algorithm (GA). The production planning problem is formulated into a flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSSP) model and solved using an integrated approach. Thanks to the development of new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) platform and radio frequency identification (RFID), implementation of a just-in-time (JIT) schedule in the semi-automated precast production line becomes practicable on the grounds of risk mitigation and enhanced demand forecast capability. In this regard, the optimization objectives are minimum makespan, station idle time, and earliness and tardiness penalty. An example was applied to validate the integrated GA approach. The experimental results show that the developed GA approach is a useful and effective method for solving the problem that it can return high-quality solutions. This paper thus contributes to the body of knowledge new precast production planning method for practical usage.

“… Investigation done by Phang et al (2019) has shown that majority of the PC manufacturers are at BIM maturity level 0 or level 1. It can also imply the extent of IT usage is low in most construction projects.…”

“…According to the study by Phang et al (2019), to realise the full potential of IT, the whole ecosystem needs to embrace it, and not just merely the responsibility of a single party. In other words, there should be appropriate technologies, processes and collaborative behaviours between and within organisations, along the supply chain.…”

“…Due to the fragmented nature of the construction industry, the current practice with most supply chain stakeholders would be to implement different system to manage their internal processes. Such standalone systems inevitably leads to information inconsistency which may negatively impact productivity in any construction projects (Ko et al, 2016;Phang et al, 2019;Xiong et al, 2018). According to Nath and Standing (2010), productivity in the supply chain will not improve unless its workflows are optimised and well connected.…”

“…Furthermore, to realise the full potential of BIM, the ecosystem needs to embrace it, and not just merely the responsibility of the PC manufacturers. BIM must be utilised in key workflows, so that the whole ecosystem can benefit from it (Arunkumar et al, 2018;Liao et al, 2017;Phang et al, 2019).…”
