Although not discussed in great detail, a number of key points were made about recruitment.
Finally, I changed the conversion costs for each scale based upon rules of thumb factors.. M. ore batches.more operator interventions, more laboratory tests.
, thus multiplying the variable cost component of conversion cost.. Having set up the fundamentals of the model I needed to run a simulation which allowed each scale to be applied to each of the demand trajectories; setting when.investment decisions would need to be made to ensure product supply did not fall behind the demand..This gave an investment profile for each scenario.
To do this I needed help from an exper.Stamatiadis at Bryden Wood.. Before I reveal the results, which.
have probably already looked at.
make a few comments.Unless modules are fabricated on a just-in time basis they also have to be stored which costs money, especially if that storage needs to be sheltered from the elements.
3D modules also occupy large amounts of factory floor space and therefore absorb a high proportion of factory overheads..If these additional modular construction costs can be offset by large improvements in construction site efficiency, for example by relocating wet trades or complex specialist trades away from the site, a 3D module might make sense.
But, with modular construction, it’s often the case that prefabricating comparatively simple parts of a building as 3D modules adds cost and complexity, especially if the required trades need to be present on-site anyway..The problems found in modular construction are only compounded by inefficient factory working.
