  • Abstract:

    This paper reports an initial stage of a research project in the management of precast concrete production in the United Kingdom. It describes a survey of current practices in 18 precast concrete manufacturing firms, comparing their actual practices to a theoretical model derived from published literature. It concludes that the theoretical model was too complicated, and formulates a more simple and practical model. The survey also identified the need for a good computerized system which can assist middle management in forecasting and production planning.
