One of the main challenges that Essence Cabinets in particular and the offsite construction domain in generalare facing is a production capacity problem. This includes gaining knowledge of the number of product typesthat can be produced in a given time span and the number of resources available in a given production system.A better understanding of the production capacity available, as well as the capacity required for each producttype, will empower the industry partner to optimize resource allocation, leading to improved time efficiencydue to higher resource utilization, and to satisfy due dates for each job. This research will be carried out in sixstages in order to analyze and streamline the production line, identify production bottlenecks, and determine aproduction capacity model: (1) study historical data to establish cabinetry system of systems; (2) benchmark theexisting production process; (3) develop a comprehensive simulation model of the production line; (4)determine the available production capacity; (5) develop KPIs for measuring the man-hour requirements perproduct type; and (6) establish a strategy for future research and development. Opportunities for developing adrafting and design tool for kitchen cabinets will be explored, aiming to help the industry partner to maximizeits resources. The highly qualified personnel working on this project will gain both direct industry experienceand theoretical expertise in the areas of lean, data analysis, construction planning, simulation, and projectmanagement techniques in the course of this project. In terms of benefits to Canada, one of the most commonchallenges that construction manufacturers face is capacity planning, which includes gaining better insight intothe maximum number of product types that can be produced in a specific mix, in a given time span, andconsidering available resources. The Canadian modular manufacturing industry thus stands to benefit fromresearch that applies automated modelling tools and construction management principles to the planning,scheduling, and monitoring of the production process.

Essence Cabinet和非现场施工领域面临的主要挑战之一是生产能力问题。这包括了解在给定的时间跨度内可以生产的产品类型的数量以及给定的生产系统中可用的资源数量。更好地了解可用的生产能力以及每种产品类型所需的能力，将使行业合作伙伴能够优化资源分配，从而提高时间效率，因为更高的资源利用率，并满足每项工作的截止日期。本研究将分六个阶段进行，以分析和简化生产线，识别生产瓶颈，并确定生产能力模型：（1）研究历史数据，建立系统的橱柜系统;（2）对现有的生产过程进行基准测试;（3）开发生产线的综合仿真模型;（4）确定可用的生产能力;（5）制定衡量每个产品类型工时要求的关键绩效指标;（6）制定未来研发战略。我们将探索开发厨柜设计工具的机会，旨在帮助行业合作伙伴最大限度地利用其资源。从事该项目的高素质人员将在该项目的过程中获得精益、数据分析、施工规划、模拟和项目管理技术领域的直接行业经验和理论专业知识。就加拿大的利益而言，建筑制造商面临的最常见的挑战之一是产能规划，其中包括更好地了解在给定的时间跨度内可以在特定组合中生产的最大产品类型数量，并考虑可用资源。因此，加拿大模块化制造业将受益于将自动化建模工具和施工管理原则应用于生产过程的规划，调度和监控的研究。
