- W829201296 abstract "The overall aim of this thesis is to develop reliable methods ofmeasuring output levels for construction plant and labour, with aview to establishing realistic output rates for concretingoperations.This thesis demonstrates that most of the variability inproduction rates can be quickly explained, leaving relativelyconstant levels of output f or individual construction operations(i.e. basic operation times). The primary factors in determiningoutput rates were found to be work rate, delays and waiting causedby poor management, and poor motivation.The latter two items accounted f or more than fifty per cent ofthe available working time on many sites, whereas work rate variedonly slightly. This last finding may be surprising, but the resultsindicated that when work was being done the effort applied appearedfairly constant to the observer. However, the time spent working waslargely dependent upon the level of motivation induced through thepayment system. Where a combination of good direct supervision andsatisfactory financial incentives were present, high levels ofmotivation were observed, conversely, low motivation occurred onsites where minimum day-work payments were present.Investigations into several construction trades indicate thatwork study techniques can be modified to meet the requirements ofmost construction operations, sites and companies, whether therequirements be a complex synthesis of basic operation times or themore simple determination of site efficiency. The key to thisportability lies in the isolation of basic operation times via theapplication of site efficiency factors. In this thesis, primary work study techniques are identifiedand discussed. The need for specific construction work studytechniques is shown to be of paramount importance.The results from over seventy concrete pours are combined andstatistically analysed to produce realistic output rates arid currentlevels of production.Site factors are combined and statistically analysed to producea relationship between efficiency and level of remuneration.A comparison is drawn between: the production rates achieved onseveral sites; and the output rates currently being used in theplanning and estimating processes." @default.
