Offsite and industrialized building methods are becoming more widely used due to the reduced environmental impact, speed of construction, waste reduction, and cost-competitive prices. Panelized construction is an offsite manufacturing method that encourages a more sustainable and efficient construction process. This research targets the development of productive and safe working environments and construction processes in a panelized construction manufacturing facility. It develops and implements a method to continuously improve the productivity of the production line through time study, production process assessment, and reduction of process waste with the support of a discrete-event simulation (DES) optimization model. When pursuing higher productivity in the manufacturing plant, the consideration of ergonomics is also important, since workers can perform with higher productivity when working in a healthy and safe environment. Thus ergonomic and biomechanical analysis is also included in this scope of work as a means to improve return-to-work programs and reduce potential work-related disorders and corresponding workers' compensation costs. A systematic physical demand analysis will be conducted for the purpose of ergonomic risk identification, risk assessment, and risk mitigation in the production line, thereby enabling the industry to be proactive in preventing injury rather than reactive. A biomechanical human body simulation model will be created and experimental kinematic analysis will also be conducted to provide the construction industry with more comprehensive understanding of the tasks that expose workers to high risks; will limit the maximum load of workers and recommend proper motions for workers, will assist in providing modified work, and will help to stagger tasks among workers in a manner which minimizes ergonomic risk and improves productivity.

由于环境影响降低，施工速度，减少和成本竞争力的价格，异地和工业化建筑物方法正在越来越广泛地使用。镶板构造是一种异地制造方法，可鼓励更具可持续性和高效的建筑过程。这项研究针对镶板建筑制造工厂中生产和安全的工作环境和建筑过程的开发。它开发并实现了一种通过时间研究，生产过程评估以及在支持离散事实模拟（DES）优化模型的支持，通过时间研究，生产过程评估和减少过程浪费的生产线的生产率的不断提高生产率的方法。当在制造厂追求更高的生产率时，对人体工程学的考虑也很重要，因为在健康安全的环境中工作时，工人可以提高生产率。因此，符合人体工程学和生物力学分析也包括在这项工作范围中，作为改善重返工作计划并减少潜在工作有关的疾病以及相应工人的薪酬成本的一种手段。将进行系统的物理需求分析，目的是为了符合人体工程学的风险识别，风险评估和生产线的风险降低，从而使该行业能够积极地预防伤害而不是反应性。将创建生物力学人体模拟模型，并还将进行实验运动分析，以使建筑行业对使工人面临高风险的任务有更全面的了解；将限制工人的最大负担，并向工人推荐适当的动议，将有助于提供修改后的工作，并以最小化人体工程学风险并提高生产率的方式帮助工人之间的任务交错。
