Improving the cost efficiency in the supply chain of the Heijmans Woon Concept projects

Heijmans Housing (HH) is responsible for the Heijmans Woon Concept (HWC) house-building projects that follow a concept-based approach. The ambition is set by the HWC team to save 10% on the total cost of ownership (TCO) for a HWC house. To achieve its ambition, one of the areas to look for relevant cost savings is the optimisation of the supply chain. The goal of the research is to improve the first-tier physical distribution streams in the supply chain of HWC house-building projects and to reduce the TCO of the HWC houses. This resulted into a significant logistic cost reduction with several other scientific and practical recommendations.
