Planning of Production Capacities of Precast Construction Plants under Conditions of Changes in Demand for Products

The main criterion for a feasibility study of the production efficiency of precast construction plants, analysis of internal production reserves and optimal production volume is the production capacity indicator. Thus, the study of various Factors influencing the production capacity indicators is an important task. The results of research of the influence of the number of storeys and the set of block sections in the configuration of industrial residential buildings on changes in the ratio of product types in the range of the production programme of plants are presented in the paper. Fluctuations in the ratio of product types during the construction of different types of houses have been established. Based on the obtained results, the dependence of the production capacity plants on fluctuations in the ratio of product types has been constructed. It has been determined that the main reason for the revealed facts of a decrease in production capacity is the uneven loading of production lines with fluctuations in the ratio of product types in the range of production programs of precast construction plants. Taking into account the known facts of the dependence of production capacity on the concrete capacity of block sections of houses, the results of a comparison of the degree of influence of concrete capacity on the production capacity and the ratio of the main types of products in the range of production programs of plants are presented in the paper. It has been established that a key influence on the indicators of production capacity is exerted by changes in the ratio of product types. On the basis of the conducted research, optimal reserves of production capacity have been determined with a high share of different types of houses in the production programs of the plants. Taking into account the established indicators of production capacity reduction, their optimal reservation is within 20-25 % of the design capacity of the plants, which should serve as a reference point when planning the functioning of the production management system under the conditions of changes in demand for products.
