CONSTRUCTION SERVICES UNDER CONSTRUCTION: ENABLING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS OF LOGISTICS SERVICES IN A PROJECT-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
This study investigates how continuous improvement of logistics services in a project-based context such as construction can be enhanced by a “priority matrix for service improvements”. Construction services in general, and logistic services in specific, have great impact on efficiency and sustainability (environmental as well as social). However, there is a great potential for improvements in the complex coordination, inefficient processes, and waste of materials.

Tactical resource allocation for efficient capacity Utilization
Aerospace
industry is expected to grow, but the competition is strong, resulting
in shrinking margins and an increasing demand for flexibility. The
ability to efficiently use the company’s production system - while
volumes and product mix changes - will be crucial to reach high resource
utilization without sacrificing service levels and turnover
rates. Hence, there is a need for theory development regarding the
design and use of models and methods for this type of capacity planning,
which is the purpose of the project.
