Benchmarking production processes in civil engineering
Lee, S
Benchmarking production processes in civil engineering - 2000 - Civil Engineering 138(4), 167-173(7) .
Looks in some detail at the benchmarking method developed by the Agile Construction Initiative. The model is designed to enable different levels of the construction industry to monitor and improve their performance, and incorporates methods for planners and estimators, construction teams, construction managers and client bodies. Article considers the six stages of the Agile method and examines initial research findings, including how the system can be applied for 'standard road product'. Concludes that the Agile database presents contractors with an effective tool for analyzing site productivity and supporting its expansion into other sectors. Tables. Figures. References.
