- W2115520872 abstract "This work constitutes a study of the operations of localauthority building direct labour organisations (DLOs)during the 1980s,An overt aim of Part III of the 1980 Local Government,Planning and Land Act was to improve efficiency in theoperations of local authority building direct labourorganisations (DLOs). Whilst the Act did not specifyhow DLOs should be organised, the legislation onaccounting and accountability clearly had Importantorganisational implications.Even prior to 1981, some DLOs already obtained themajority of work via competitive tender, had controlover their functions and had systems for demonstratingtheir efficiency. Others were not operated in such waysand fundamental changes were needed to successfully meetthe challenge of the new legislation.By 1988, the Audit Commission admitted that DLO5 hadvery largely been successful in meeting the competitiverequirements of the 1980 Act, but expressed concern overthe varying levels of effectiveness and efficiency ofoperation that existed amongst organisations. An objective of the study is to look at the problemsassociated with efficiency and productivity measurementin the context of DLO performance. The Conservativegovernment of this period had a strong conniitment to theimprovement of efficiency of the public sector. Inother areas of public services, various forms ofperformance Indicator were being employed to monitorperformance, but for a DLO the sole measure ofefficiency was the ability to meet the 5a target rate ofreturn. The concern with efficiency produced newinterest in the application of quantitative techniquesto provide methods of efficiency measurement.This work undertakes a study of the problems associatedwith efficiency and performance measurement In thissector of the U.K. construction Industry.The availability of appropriate data at the Individualorganisation level from 1981 onwards, enabled, for thefirst time, viable lnter-DLO comparisons to beundertaken at the micro-level and sectoral comparisonsto be made at the macro-level.The data used In the study were obtained over a fiveyear period from a variety of sources of published andunpublished sources. A unique database of expenditureand revenue Information from over 150 DLOs has beendeveloped, which in many ways is even more comprehensive than the 'official' statistics collected by theChartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.Methods used for efficiency measurementWith the great emphasis placed on ensuring that thepublic sector of the construction industry acts in anefficient manner, the data are employed In variousmethods for the measurement of efficiency.1. At the sector level, total factor productivityneasurement is used to gauge the rate of growth of theDLO sector of the industry.2. At the organisation level, 'Farrell' measures ofefficiency are used.A model for measuring the efficiency of Individualorganisations is presented.Data Envelopment Analysis I used to considerinefficiency that raises Costs above their feasibleminimum." @default.
