“…In 2005, the author defined industrialization as "catering a large market, by investing in technologies that simplify production and also reduce cost" [10]. Other authors refine the definition by saying manufacture takes place in a specialized and controlled facility [11][12][13][14]; site work is minimized [12,13,15]; mechanical equipment is used [12,14,15]; and a systematic approach is involved [12].…”

“…The reasons to turn to industrialized construction are manifold. Most frequently, the potential of increased productivity, production speed, and the control on quality and lead-times is mentioned [10,11,13,14,16]. In a European society that is characterized by a lack of skilled-labor and a pressing need for new construction on urbanized and spatially limited locations, industrialized construction can offer a solution that is less dependent on labor and offer construction workers a healthier and safer working environment [11][12][13][14]16].…”

Although significant capital investments to facilitate an industrial factory environment are made with a long-term perspective [14], reduced production cost can be a direct result that leads to more affordable buildings [12,13,16].…”

The circular economy is a widely accepted concept that various governments have started to adopt. Still, a major consumer of resources, the construction industry, struggles to implement business models that answer to the opportunity and generate value beyond economical. At the same time, the industry is at a threshold of intensifying their production by industrialized manufacture. This type of construction offers practical benefits and should be developed whilst prioritizing a sustainably built environment. A circular economy business model (CBM) offers all stakeholders long term value and revenue whilst moving towards a sustainable environment. The business model canvas (BMC) is a tool to shed light on the essential characteristics of a CBM, its value, and alignment in a multi-life cycle perspective. It can contribute to accelerating circular innovation in construction. This study aims to provide an overview of archetypical CBMs in construction based on a literature review and a systematic coding exercise using the BMC. The archetypes found are used to describe the characteristics of industrialized manufacture in the various circular economy construction scenarios.

“…On the other hand, dimensional control and identification are required for exploiting automation [22] and BIM can efficiently provide the required information and accurate data to be used for model simulation and machine control in construction automation and robotic construction. Therefore, BIM's importance and effects on the future usage of automation and robotics in the industry not only appear strong but also, in the long run, they are inevitable for the firms who are seeking to increase their competitiveness [20], productivity [23] and even their existence in the future era of the building industry.…”

Building Information Modeling is the process and the technology transition from a traditional single sequential form to a modern multiple parallel form of data integration. BIM is the process of data sharing and distribution with the ability to employ the data via numerous applications for managing several multidimensional tasks and activities of AEC/OM (Architecture, Engineering, Construction/ Operation and Maintenance) throughout the building lifecycle. Indeed, employing BIM technology not only seems vital for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are active in the construction sector of the building industry but also it is unavoidable for the firms who are seeking to increase their competitiveness and even their existence in the future era of the industry. The era of automation, robotics and 3D printing is coming faster due to the extraordinary developments and innovations in the digitalization and automation sectors, absence of desire productivity and efficiency in the building industry where BIM can efficiently provide the required information and accurate data to be used for model simulation and machine control in robotic construction.However, most of the active SME contractors are not aware of building information modeling, nor are they familiar with the BIM implementation framework and its key factors. Therefore, the main aim of this article is to provide realistic key factors for an initial BIM implementation framework that can help the SMEs, who are working in the construction sector of the building industry such as contractors, to understand BIM as modeling and employ it with less costs and more efficiency.

“…Esto, quizá sea un reflejo del arribo de empresas transnacionales a la región, ya que en este momento representan localmente el liderazgo industrial, al emplear metodologías como justo a tiempo, manufactura esbelta, seis sigma, entre otras; por lo tanto los empresarios locales se ven obligados a implementar estas formas de trabajo, ya que como proveedores deben mejorar constantemente en estos temas (Kamaruddin et al 2016). …”

Actualmente, es vital para la empresa manufacturera contar con determinadas características, las cuales, logren establecer claramente la diferencia entre éstas y sus similares, por lo tanto es necesario avanzar en el desarrollo de las ventajas competitivas; y así, demostrar cuales son las fortalezas con las que cuenta la empresa, para competir con sus similares y salir adelante sobre éstas, aunque se trate de épocas adversas. Es por ello que la presente investigación, tiene como objetivo, determinar si el desarrollo de ventajas competitivas, tiene alguna relación con la situación en la que se encuentran los sistemas de producción, así como la innovación en las empresas manufactureras en Aguascalientes, México. Finalmente el estudio hace notar que en Aguascalientes, en este momento, el desarrollo de ventajas competitivas, se ve influenciado por lo que acontece en los sistemas de producción y la innovación con que cuentan las empresas manufactureras
