Recently, modular construction method has been widely applied to projects with repetitive processes including dormitory, the residential facility, and the hotel construction due to reduced labor input and shortened construction schedule. Generally, about 40% of total on-site construction cost excluding unit installation cost, is put on exterior finishing work, and thus management of finishing work is deemed important in maintaining the targeted schedule and cost. Since limited equipment is shared so that subsequent activities are not affected while carrying out on-site installation and finishing work, lifting plan becomes more important for modular projects with greater portion of finishing work load. In this regard, tower crane operation plan may take the form of a single cycle or multiple cycles in which equipment efficiency can be affected. However, difficulties exist in evaluating alternatives to tower crane operation plans supporting unit installation and finishing work. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the alternative of tower crane operation method according to the cyclic period setting in modular building site to determine the effect on T/C uptime and process by parameterizing lifting time for unit and exterior finishing material, lift cycle for unit and exterior finishing material and time required for finishing work. Accordingly, this study develops a simulation model that can increase the tower crane efficiency by controlling the work speed. An academic contribution of this study is to suggest a resource leveling method applying the concept of lifting cycle, and further is expected to be managerially used as a basis for an alternative evaluation of equipment plan.

The purpose of this study is to present an improvement of the form work process. The current slab form work has waste factor by unnecessary process and not complete integration with the finishing process. Therefore the study used value stream analysis methodology for effective improvement of slab form work process. The main contents of the study are as follows; 1) Understanding of non-value adding activities in existing slab form work process 2) Process integration by value stream mapping 3) Effect analysis of time-cost reduction. The study recommends that, as a future research, development of tool and technique for the non-value adding activities are eliminated in building construction.

Nowadays, High-rise building becomes higher and bigger than ever. As a result, lots of construction materials are needed at the same times. Because of divided diverse process of construction, several different Processes concur simultaneously with complexity of procurement. So, effective construction material supply and lift-up are essential part of the spot. Especially, when ending part of construction, there are much conflict between finishing and equipment materials also problems of folding lift-up. The Purpose of this paper is suggesting better effective lift-up system through analysis of loading factors.

One pulp manufacture facility was selected as surveying facility to examine the discharged amount and generation mechanism of dioxins excepts for bleaching stage wastewater. In recovery and finishing process, 2,3,7,8-TCDF, OCDD and OCDF were mainly detected, and the ratio of PCDDs and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD as the concentration of 2,3,7,8-substitute isomer were discharged which is known as the typical emission pattern of pulp and paper manufacture facility, and the 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and 1,2,3,4,7,8-HxCDD were discharged more than 90% in toxic equivalent concentration. Also, the OCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF for 2,3,7,8-isomer concentration, and 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD and 2,3,7,8-TCDF as toxic equivalent concentration were discharged in effluent. The detected PCDDs/PCDFs concentration were surveyed 0.2266 ng-TEQ/L for influent and 0.0377 ng-TEQ/L for effluent.

In this study, the concept of Just-In-Time, Lean Construction and Supply Chain Management have been applied to furniture works of high-rise residental building. For the purpose of systematic furniture work planning, it should be established to analyse furniture-work process from design phase through contract, and procurement to construction phase. The analysis of process and data for furniture-work provides the roles of conducting subjects and presents management items at each phase. This proposal will provide the systematic furniture-work managements and reduce construction time and cost, and also raise the quality of furniture works.

The purpose of this study is to present an improvement building construction process by using prefabricated materials. The current slab form work has waste factor by unnecessary process and not complete integration with the finishing process. Therefore the study used value stream analysis methodology for effective improvement of slab form work process. The main contents of the study are as follows; 1) Non-value adding activities were found at existing slab form work process by current state mapping(CSM) 2) Future state mapping(FSM) suggest process Integration to slab form work. 3) Slab form work is analyzed reduction time-cost by prefabricated material. The study recommends that, as a future research, development of tool and technique for the non-value adding activities are eliminated in building construction and application of prefabricated material should be increased.

The development of building must be accompanied with construction technology and performance of materials. In particular, wet processes have a high level of dependence on manpower and a low level of diversification of materials used. This study aimed to determine the applicability of various materials for wet process, mechanized construction and eco-friendly building materials through a comparison with dry premixed mortar. As a result, it was found that resin plaster and gypsum plaster's strength is lower than that of dry cement mortar, but their mechanization application, construction simplification, smoothness and bond strength are higher than that of dry cement mortar. And estimate that is valid as workability, bonding strength, eco-friendly building material in occasion of gypsum plaster.

The ultimate goal of construction is to complete the given work in the most economical and safest way within the required construction period while meeting the quality standards specified in the design drawing. There are a few characteristics of finish work. First, executed in subdivided processes, finish work involves a very diverse and complex structure. Second, there are no criteria for each segmented process with regard to the appropriate time of input. Third, it is not very necessary to set priorities for lead and lag works. This study intends to provide information on the completion of a project in accordance with the required duration by setting priorities in the delay of each detailed process of finish work to minimize delay in finish work. In this study, finish work is divided into wet work and other types of finish work, and the importance of each process is classified based on the given details of each process. In addition, the study employs a survey to analyze delay factors of a designer, a constructor, and a supplier. Using the survey results, the study sets priorities in delay of final work to provide information on the completion of an apartment project within the planned construction period.
