Abstract
Stimulated by the success of management innovation in the manufacturing industry - culminating in lean production, many homebuilders attempt to model the construction process on manufacturing. Currently, much of the focus has been on the use of factory-built structural components, which reflects the inherent characteristics of the residential construction industry that medium and large homebuilders construct high volumes of houses with a similar structure. However, many such attempts failed due to operation management problems. This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines process flowcharting and simulation for helping prefabricators analyze and improve their production process. In the research, the process flowchart and process activity chart are used to identify opportunities for process improvement, and simulation models are built in Simphony, a special purpose simulation (SPS) tool, to do what-if analysis and to predict productivity. The results of this study indicate that process flowcharting coupled with simulation is an effective way to plan process improvement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
