OVERPRODUCTION IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Introduction

The construction problem getting addressed is issues of over production and its detrimental effects on the

overall building construction process. Involvement of problems is common due to overproduction where the

contractors involved lack a proper understanding of the areas where the building would operate in high quality

(Denerolle, 2018). Lean waste management is effective management of promoting high-quality building

construction as it removes waste from the internal components (Skhmot, 2017). Overproduction is a component of

lean waste management that results in problems when attempting to generate reliable buildings by contractors. All

building areas require outsourcing the best material to generate proper quality and a connection to stakeholders’

goals. In the building industry, the main stakeholders, are contractors, building owners, engineers, architects, and

the occupants. It is imperative to ensure each party receives the best quality depending on unique requirements.

Overproduction causes a major issue for the buildings since problems develop that later lead to inventory waste.

This paper shall assess the issues related to overproduction and how it affects major overproduction problems in the

construction industry.

Problems related to overproduction result in the buildings’ construction processes taking longer than expected. This is a

detrimental action that prevents the submission of effective outcomes based on a lack of clear direction for all building

types. It is detrimental for construction procedures to progress even after the expected timeline had lapsed. There is the

occurrence of issues related to the inability to access the required budget and timeline since all stakeholders involved

during construction get mismanaged. Extra raw materials can get purchased since there is a problem wit h the timeline of

the entire construction process. The issue progresses as it becomes difficult to handle the building construction’s timeline

based on the issues involved in generating materials at the expected time. The existence of excess in materials later results

in problems when attempting to operate as expected during all building construction scenarios.

Impact of Building Problems

Overproduction leads to extra inventory costs, time, connection to the external environment, productivity, and problems related to the social impact of the construction problems. It gets difficult to handle

required building improvements due to the inability to perform waste management during an entire building procedure. Waste is highly detrimental to construction processes since it results in a lack of collaboration for

all professionals involved during building construction. Problems develop during the design and construction phases whereby lack of proper expertise affects the possibility of implementing reliable building

constructions. Overproduction creates a negative environment for the building process as it gets difficult to handle the interconnection of all building departments. The planning, estimation, and construction stages are

all interconnected and require to get managed to solve any issues. Assessment of all stages is imperative to ensure the final building serves expected needs.

Waste occurrence is related to overproduction that creates more dangers for parties that attempt to connect to proper building quality (Kansas, n.d.). Design issues create a basis of wastage as it gets difficult for

the parties involved to assess how to promote service improvements in all building departments. Materials are often sourced in excess that does not all get used to cover building areas. Issues related to ineffective

building constructions thus make it difficult to handle all construction management procedures. In this regard, it gets hard for all professionals to submit unique expertise which generates required building standards.

Revenue loss is expected since the purchase of extra building materials results in a limited possibility of building completion in the expected timeline. Whenever building areas get exposed to extra materials and waste,

landfills must get developed to the issues. Increase in building wastes

(Bosnich, 2019).

Overproduction can create inventory issues when the parties involved request too many materials than required. It then

gets difficult to facilitate efficient building constructions since all development problems affect the required building

standards. Overproduction leads to improper excavation, renovations, demolitions, and extra roadwork to cover areas that

had been exposed to too many materials (Luangcharoenrat et al., 2019). Inventory management then becomes a confusing

action that makes it difficult to handle the entire construction environment. Construction issues would result in extra

demolition when contractors built sections that were not required at the beginning of the construction. Physical waste

becomes a lot in the construction area whereby it gets hard to continue building without assessing methods of managing

the extra building material. It then becomes necessary to create landfills that would cover construction waste material. This

is a wasteful practice that makes it hard to provide effective building improvements.

Possible Solutions

Since overproduction creates problems with materials management, time, effort, and money, it is

imperative to handle all areas involved in the building construction environment (Besklubova & Zhang,

2019). It is possible to solve overproduction by handling employee activities during the entire building

process. This would be the best action to guarantee construction improvement since all workers would be

aware of the method required to handle cost-saving during the entire building procedure. Issues related to

construction workers and their activities during building scenarios often get affected by the strong will of

the employees to produce high-quality buildings. It gets difficult to handle the construction improvement

methods without posing a challenge for the entire construction environment (Demirkesen, 2021; Prayuda et

al., 2020). Employees should perform proper research to determine areas in the construction zone that

require extra material and only request materials when there is proof of the materials’ needs. Improper

organizational culture affects the construction process. In this regard, proper performance is required by

implementing employee improvement sessions.

The overproduction issue can get solved further by creating

training and education sessions whereby employees would

receive proper guidance on how to transform their work output

(Haller, 2020). This is the best process to guarantee effective

development and cost-saving since there would be an

understanding of how the entire construction industry would

receive improvements. Using an authoritative supervisor is the

best method to ensure the entire work environment performs

ethically and does not impede on expected changes (Singh &

Kumar, 2021). It would be possible to handle the wastage of

resources that occur due to overproduction. Ensuring only one

person gets involved in the supervisory position is an effective

process to handle any overproduction issues. It would be

possible to implement solutions in the entire construction

environment. Using professional persons would be the best

option for handling construction improvement procedures since

there would be an effective need to generate major performance

management activities.

Communication improvement is the best process to ensure the entire construction environment performs to a high standard (Bajjou & Chafi, 2019). It would be possible to handle any

issues related to construction without posing a challenge or attempting to generate service improvements in all areas. It is important to ensure frequent communication for all departments

in the construction environment. In this way, there would be a dependable method of handling construction activities without causing problems for the expected outcome of the

construction industry. Involving proper planning is imperative to facilitate effective service improvements in the entire building process.

Analysis of Visual Illustration of the Problem

The fishbone diagram below indicates the main issues related to building defects.

Fishbone Diagram of overproduction problems

Assessment of the fishbone diagram provides proper direction related to service improvements for all overproduction outcomes. It would be possible to handle proper service management in the entire construction

environment by working with persons who possess sufficient expertise (Veaudor et al., 2018). The diagram provides an effective summary of issues related to a construction whereby the existence of overproduction

causes a challenge for interrelated components to acquire suitable changes. The main overproduction issues are related to structural problems, materials mismanagement, process improvements, equipment problems,

management, and environmental factors. It is thus the duty of all parties involved to find proper methods of performing service improvements that would not incur overproduction issues. Visual Representation of

The suggested solution would contain interrelation of all the components in the figure below.

The mind map above offers an effective direction for solving issues related

to overproduction. It would be possible to handle any internal problems

without causing a challenge for the interrelated activities. The application

of research and development thus gets implemented to provide all

construction stakeholders with suitable improvements. In this way, it

would be possible to handle waste issues that are common during

overproduction. Using dependable communication sessions is the best

option to guarantee changes since all the parties involved would be aware

of the best technique of handling unique building defect issues. There

would be a dependable method of solving building issues in this way since

all stakeholders would understand their unique requirements.

Conclusion

The overproduction within the development industry is an issue that required extraordinary concern. This overproduction leads all the partners within the

development to prepare antagonistically. Be that as it may, the Development is way better situated to guarantee that this shape of the overproduction annihilation

handle. They can make earlier plans for the development forms the fabric can be requested at right time and be property carried to the desired.
