This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction productivity-how well, how quickly, and at what cost buildings and infrastructure can be constructed-directly affects prices for homes and consumer goods and the robustness of the national economy. Industry analysts differ on whether construction industry productivity is improving or declining. Still, advances in available and emerging technologies offer significant opportunities to improve construction efficiency substantially in the 21st century and to help meet other national challenges, such as environmental sustainability. Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry identifies five interrelated activities that could significantly improve the quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of construction projects. These activities include widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications; improved job-site efficiency through more effective interfacing of people, processes, materials, equipment, and information; greater use of prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and off-site fabrication techniques and processes; innovative, widespread use of demonstration installations; and effective performance measurement to drive efficiency and support innovation.

Download or read book Corporate Productivity Program written by Cameron Patrick Gaddy and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity improvement within the construction industry is a critical aspect of successful project implementation. Specific productivity practices have demonstrated improvements at the activity, trade, and project levels. However, results have been inconsistent and have not created significant productivity gains at the corporate or industry levels. This research studies the productivity challenge from the corporate level that influences entire project portfolios. The objective was to characterize and assess Corporate Productivity Programs, which are comprised of the people, processes, and technologies that support an organization’s productivity improvement efforts. This study developed a framework to characterize Corporate Productivity Programs centered on their Elements and a method to evaluate programs based on the implementation of measurable Actions that lead to increased productivity practice utilization. Through improving the Corporate Productivity Program, a company should have increased utilization and consistency with implementation of productivity practices. These systemic productivity improvements have the potential to improve performance and predictability for portfolio management in the multi-trillion-dollar construction industry.
