Critical Literature Review of Labor Multiskilling in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research in multiskilling experiences an incremental trend from academic, industrial, and governmental point of views. Different methodologies have been used in previous research to identify best practices in multiskilling. ...
Multiskilled Workforce Planning: A Case from the Construction Industry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this research was to present a platform to identify the optimal staffing of a multiskilled workforce in the construction industry. The novelty of our model is its capability in developing a customized and ...
Quantitative Analysis of Rate-Driven and Due Date–Driven Construction: Production Efficiency, Supervision, and Controllability in Residential Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concerns about production efficiency, quality, and affordability in the residential construction indicate there may be benefits in adopting alternative production control strategies to those traditionally used. Reducing ...
Optimal Work Assignment to Multiskilled Resources in Prefabricated Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiskilling allows for dynamic reallocation of workers from one stage of production to another in response to bottleneck configurations and, therefore, has been advocated as a potential strategy to improve productivity ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concerns about production efficiency, quality, and affordability in the residential construction indicate there may be benefits in adopting alternative production control strategies to those traditionally used. Reducing ...
Nanoscale Stick-Slip Behavior of Na-Montmorillonite Clay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Clay minerals are platelike particles that play a critical role in problems involving swelling, deformation, and failure. Fundamental understanding of these phenomena and the parameters that influence them requires studies ...
Skill Set Configuration in Prefabricated Construction: Hybrid Optimization and Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In offsite construction, unbalanced distribution of resources can cause heterogeneity in the production environment and result in cost and time overruns. It is of particular importance to efficiently manage resource-constrained ...
