1. Odysseus Manoliadis:

Labour Productivity benchmarking in greek projects

Abstract:

New management thinking like that of lean construction has suggested principles and techniques that can result in better project performance. This paper aims to demonstrate the conceptual benchmarking principles for construction labour productivity and implement these in some projects in Greece, by the use of indices and measures of benchmarking in labour productivity. Indices such as the disruption index (DI), performance ratio (PR), project management index (PMI), and project waste index (PWI) are calculated. From the application of the above indices it was concluded that the benchmarks of labour productivity was found to be an important delineator between good and poorly performing projects.
