RMC-05-89 Using Statistical Productivity Improvement To Enhance Performance Of Construction Labor

Description:

In this workshop, participants will learn about the application of Statistical Productivity Improvement (SPI) in the construction/maintenance environment. SPI involves the observation and categorization of craft activity so that the efficiency of the processes responsible for the delivery of key resources to the craft can be measured. These resources include tools, materials, equipment, and information. By measuring with 95% statistical confidence how any process inefficiencies are manifesting themselves at the craft level, management is provided a proactive tool for making process and logistical changes that positively impact craft productivity. Included in the workshop will be a description of the SPI process followed by a case study of a real-life application. The case study will show how a company utilized the process in their fabrication operation to improve its performance to world-class efficiency.
