Prefabrication Standardization


Prefabrication Standardization:

It is the use of guidelines for production of uniform interchangeable components especially in mass production.
It refers to adoption and establishment of guidelines for global marketing
It is used for simplification of procurement and production to achieve economy

Advantages of standardization:

1.       Easier in design in accordance to guidelines so that complexity is reduced
2.       Easier to manufacture since the number of variants are limited
3.       It uses specialized and precise equipments for erection and completion
4.       Speed and easier construction

Factors affecting standardization:

1.       To select the member for each element from the point of productivity, assembly, serviceability and economy
2.       To limit number of types of elements and use them in large quantities
3.       To use large size of panels so that the number of joints is reduced
4.       To limit the size and weight of prefabricate so that it can be handled easily
5.       To use the prefabricate weight almost same as lifting capacity of the equipment
