Business Process Reingineering in the Construction of Precast Timber Frame Buildings

This study deals with the issue of optimising the work processes of a company building precast timber frame structures, primarily intended for the long-term stay of people, such as: family houses, kindergartens, hotels etc. The issue is considered within the framework of the business process reengineering of the company. At the end a proposal is given for the optimal organizational structure of the company. The basis of the study is found in the importance of precast building in the contemporary way of life. The increasing demands of energy and ecology, the need to reduce the stress of those involved in the construction process, the pace of building etc., are only some of the reasons which favour the construction of precast, timber frame buildings. In this context, we are referring exclusively to construction using precast elements (panel construction) with the maximum degree of readiness, which at the same time enables quick and good quality construction. However, the high level of readiness of the panels is also linked to an increase in the risks of production (the occurrence of faults and their consequences) which necessarily requires detailed analysis of the organizational system of the company. This study attempts to direct consideration towards the optimal organizational structure of a company dealing with constructing precast timber frame buildings, which on the one hand ensures production of the quality required, and on the other finds an optimal solution to the question of the organization of production, social relationships within the company, worker satisfaction etc. In the end this should result in optimization (increase) of profits.
