Productivity Gains in a Line Flow Precast Concrete Process after a Basic Stability Effort
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Lean principles and methods have been successfully applied to precast concrete job shops and batch flows. The conversion of processes from batch flow environments to line flow environments is the main reason for the ... -
Method to Assess the Level of Implementation of Productivity Practices on Industrial Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Based on observations of industrial construction sites, it is evident that most industrial projects do not effectively implement historically successful management practices that have the potential to improve construction ... -

Model for Systematic Innovation in Construction Companies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The reasons that drive construction companies to innovate, as well as the processes they use, have not yet been fully explored in the construction management literature. This paper describes the “hows” and “whys” behind ... -
Automated Lifting System Integrated with Construction Hoists for Table Formwork in Tall Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In tall-building construction, the equipment-driven table formwork method is a useful alternative for improving productivity of horizontal formwork with less skilled labor. The lifting system significantly affects the ... -
Optimal Trade-Offs between Social Quality of Life and Life-Cycle Cost in Housing Units
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The social quality of life (SQOL) for single-family housing residents can be improved by enhancing their thermal comfort, indoor lighting quality, indoor air quality, and locating the housing unit in high-quality and safe ... -
Construction Automation and Robotics—Pathway to Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Research in construction automation and robotics has increased in popularity over the past few years. Although interest is high in the research and education communities, sustaining robust programs is difficult due to the ... -
