Analysis of Factors Affecting Prefabricated Building Quality Based on ISM-BN

Abstract

In recent years, the rise of the domestic industry has boosted the use and popularity of prefabricated buildings. Prefabricated buildings differ significantly from traditional design, construction, and production models. However, due to the short development period of prefabricated buildings in China, the quality management of these new structures is still not mature, resulting in frequent project delays and failure. To improve quality management, this paper aims to establish an evaluation model of factors affecting prefabricated building quality. The 4M1E framework was used to categorize and generalize related quality factors. Then, GeNIe software was used to establish a visual Bayesian network quality factor evaluation model. The factors that need to be managed and given attention to in the prefabricated construction project were discovered using reverse reasoning, sensitivity, and critical factor analysis. The results indicated that among the multiple stages of prefabricated buildings, the construction stage has the greatest impact on the quality of buildings. C2(Insufficient sense of responsibility of construction personnel) is the most significant factor that needs to be controlled. In addition, this paper combined the ISM-BN model with actual engineering projects to identify key factors affecting the project’s quality, demonstrating the model’s applicability. The evaluation model of quality factors in prefabricated buildings was established. It can identify the underlying causes of quality issues in prefabricated buildings and control engineering quality at the source, acting as an effective guide for practitioners and enterprises.

Research on the Improvement Path of Prefabricated Buildings’ Supply Chain Resilience Based on Structural Equation Modeling: A Case Study of Shenyang and Hangzhou, China

“…Mao, Y. and Tuo, X. suggested that The risk awareness of personnel, the application level of information technology, the way the interests of supply chain stakeholders are distributed, the level of government support, and the regulatory ability of enterprises will affect PBSCR according to the analysis of the critical path. This is similar to the 4M1E theory [55,56]. "4M1E" refers to man, machine, material, method, and environment.…”

Quality Risk Assessment of Prefabricated Steel Structural Components during Production Using Fuzzy Bayesian Networks

“…Currently, the entire lifecycle of quality control of steel prefabricated components is essential to ensuring the success of the construction project. The process comprises three primary phases: production, transportation and storage, and on-site construction, each of which employs specific control measures to guarantee the quality and performance of the components [5]. During the production stage, starting with the selection and inspection of raw materials, every phase of the process must be executed precisely, including cutting, forming, welding, and surface treatment, to ensure that the size, shape, and quality of the components meet the design requirements.…”

Quality Evaluation Approach for Prefabricated Buildings Using Ant Colony Algorithm and Simulated Annealing Algorithm to Optimize the Projection Pursuit Model

“…Using SEM-SDM, Li et al assessed the safety risk of prefabricated building construction [3]. In an effort to enhance the management of quality for prefabricated buildings, Zhang et al used ISM-BN to establish an evaluation model of the factors influencing the quality of as-assembled structures [4]. Zhang et al used ISM-MICMAC to investigate the relationships between 23 components of prefabricated structures quality management [5].…”
