USA: The Technology and Management of Mobile Home Production

Mobile home production represents a consistent system approach to housing production. Management and technology of the production process have been designed to achieve the process objective—that is, the end product as defined by regulatory constraints, performance criteria, and market preferences—with the most efficient utilization possible of the basic resources of labor, materials and money. The efficiency of labor is optimized by developing the most efficient method of performing a specific operation (as opposed to improving traditional building operations), and by applying basic principles of mass production, including division and specialization of labor, standardization and continuous repetition of operations, simultaneity and continuity of operations, mechanization and automation of operations (about 90% of heavy labor operations are automated), standardization of operation sequence and workflow, mechanization of material handling, provision of a controlled environment, and high-volume production yielding scale economies.
