effects of the location based management system on Production Rates and productivity
Construction Management and Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Olli Seppanen, Jake Evinger, Christopher MouflardAbstract:Location-based management systems (LBMSs) are becoming more commonly used to plan and control Production in construction projects. The main use has been to compress durations and improve resource efficiency through real-time Production control and forecasting. LBMS theory proposes that instead of continuously updating the plan with actualized completion dates, as with the critical path method (CPM), control actions can be used to manage an effective response to deviations in Production in order to realign the schedule forecast with the approved plan. Three healthcare construction projects in California were monitored to document the effects of planning and control decisions on Production Rates, resources and labour consumption. First, the authors hypothesize that proposed control actions based on the system led to real actions in the field. Second, these control actions helped in controlling Production Rates. Third, control actions decreased subcontractor labour consumption. The results show that control actions were implemented as a response to Production alarms and half of the implemented control actions were able to prevent Production problems. Many control actions successfully improved Production and labour consumption Rates with a long-term impact. However, adding resources often increased labour consumption and negated part of the Expected Production Rate benefit.

A Study of the Condition of Timber Production in Iran and the Expected Production Rate in the Next Decade
Journal of Sustainable Development, 2011Co-Authors: Kamran Adeli, Ali Yachkaschi, Soleiman Mohammadi Limaei, Asghar FallahAbstract:In countries with industrial forests, the first resource for providing domestic timber is their productive forests. Iran, a country that holds a few timber forests in the north, has implemented deterministic programming in the past few decades. Knowing the process of timber Production in these forests and also the condition of these products that are affected by the above mentioned programming is very crucial. Therefore, the present study focuses on the timber Production of Iran’s northern forests in a 33-year period (from 1978 to 2010), using simple regression analysis and time series. The results of square regression analysis revealed that this process has a significant relationship with the years under study and shows inconsistent changes. Furthermore, the overall inflation in domestic market of Iran has the highest effect on the deterministic programming of its northern forests. To predict timber Production in Iran Auto-regressive moving average process 1-2 was employed, verifying the fact that the Production Rate will decline to about 740 thousand cubic meters. If current trends and decline in timber Production continue, Iran would become increasingly dependent on imported timber. To avoid such dependence, or at least reduce it, it is necessary to change the present programming system from deterministic to dynamic, taking into account the internal and external risks in timber market such as inflation and average timber price.
