Investigating the role of on-site learning in the optimisation of craft gang's productivity in the construction industryUgulu, Rex Asibuodu January 2017 (has links)
A Thesis Submitted to Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Johannesburg, August 2017 / This research investigates how on-site craft gangs adapt to the production environment on-site and how on-site learning is affected by prior learning in orders to optimise productivity. To achieve the aim of the study, previous experience of construction production process of craft gangs, site supervisors and the project managers working in Nigerian construction firms was evaluated.
The researcher employed a mixed method research approach utilising qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research strategies used in this investigation included interviews and observation method. A face-to-face semi-structured interviews of (15) participants comprising of craft gangs, site supervisors and the project managers was used in the qualitative method of the data collection to explore the project specific constraints and the response mechanism used to resolve the various constraints. A standard observation data form was used in all the observed seven (7) gang’s blockwork craft gangs on the construction site.
The interview transcript results collected were analysed using content analysis, an objective and systematic form of data analysis applicable to analysing interview data. In the application of the learning curve model to the blockwork craft gang’s, the straight-line model was used in the preliminary analysis of the application of learning curve theory to blockwork craft gang’s. In this study, the ordinary least squares technique, frequently referred to as linear regression was used for the data analysis. 0.05% significance level was used as a satisfactory degree of the inferences in the observation part of this study. Blockwork craft gang’s observed at the site shows approximately an overall average learning of 94.21%, resulting in 5.79% improvement in blockwork gang’s productivity. In addition, substantial impact on productivity of blockwork construction was achieved in wall construction.
This research work is fundamental in construction management by way of developing an understanding into the changing aspects of on-site blockwork craft gangs learning and its impact on productivity. The repetitive nature of blockwork activities has an important influence on the optimisation of productivity.
Construction craft gangs productivity constraints and response mechanism generated in this study provides a methodological instrument for addressing the major constraints influencing craft gangs productivity. This instrument will also permit future research on the project specific constraints and the response mechanisms used to resolve the constraints. / MT 2018

Alternative on-site resources and their use : a guidelines for landscape architectsCalvin, Samuel Riley January 1979 (has links)
This thesis deals with landscape architectural site-planning considerations of on-site alternative energy and material resources. On-site resources are those occurring on nearly every site. In, particular, the energies are solar, wind, water, and organic-waste; the materials are rock and earth. The thesis content includes basic information and guidelines necessary for making preliminary design decisions regarding these alternatives. Emphasis has been placed on analyzing site conditions, on measuring the available resource, on estimating the usable energy resource available, on storing the energy and on the use of the resource.In addition, there is a case study demonstrating the use of the information in the site-design process for a wind machine. The Appendix lists names and addresses of manufacturers concerned with alternative energy resources as well as containing examples of some of the literature for the wind energy industry. / Department of Landscape Architecture

The economic implications of using planning guidelines in the design of sites and services projects /Torres, Roberto Hernando January 1990 (has links)
Economic efficiency has traditionally been the major consideration while planning sites and services projects. But, in addition to economic considerations, equal stress needs to be given to social, cultural, and environmental factors. With these concerns in mind, the Centre for Minimum Cost Housing at McGill University has developed a set of planning guidelines for the design of sites and services projects in the Indian context. This thesis assesses the physical and economic implications of using this set of planning guidelines. Following these, four alternative layouts were prepared and evaluated through graphic and quantitative methods of analysis for their land-use and infrastructure efficiency. The study shows that the use of these planning guidelines can significantly improve land-use efficiency and the environmental quality of sites and services projects and still be at par with the economic performance of conventional planning.
