Opportunity and Value: Supply Chains and SMEs in Modular Construction webinar – Summary of the Day\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We held our webinar, Opportunity and Value: Supply Chains and SMEs in Modular Construction<\/em> last Wednesday 4 November 2020. The event was very successful. Thank you to the speakers and attendees for making such an engaging conversation possible. We had a very varied and international audience with attendees coming from industry, academia, and policy-making bodies. We were extremely fortunate to have a very distinguished group of speakers who explored the challenges SMEs in supply chains face at this juncture, and what is needed to engender new possibilities to create opportunity and value.

Opportunity and Value: Supply Chains and SMEs in Modular Construction\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you an SME? Do you work in construction? Would you like to hear about opportunities to create value? Then, our event is for you! As part of the project’s multi-pronged approach to tailoring effective tools for SMEs, we are holding a highly relevant webinar on 4 November 2020, from 16:00 to 17:30. The webinar will tackle topics such as supply chains, opportunities, skills, and how large companies work with, and integrate, SMEs in their supply network. Through a mix of academic reflection, industry and policy insights, we will look at how we think about supply chains, particularly in relation to immediate challenges facing regional SMEs, with a focus on improving their capabilities for modular building. The webinar is co-sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering, Laing O’Rourke, the AMRC, and the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce. For more details and to register click here<\/a>.

Systems Engineering for Prototyping Modular Construction Systems Checklists<\/strong><\/p>\n

These checklists are part of a more comprehensive Toolkit developed by the Centre for Systems Engineering and Innovation<\/a> (CSEI)\u00a0at Imperial College London as part of the Impact award<\/a> associated\u00a0with the Royal Academy of Engineering and Laing O\u2019Rourke Chair in Systems Integration. The Toolkit is work in progress and aims to provide Systems Engineering principles, tools and pointers for developing configurable product\u00a0platforms for Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) in infrastructure. In particular, we focus on teams who are working across projects prototyping components for DfMA.<\/p>\n
