Abstract:

Productivity is the one of the most important factor that affects overall performance of any small or medium or large construction industry. It could be defined as the ratio of output of required quality to the inputs for a specific production situation. Productivity measurement at construction site level enables companies to monitor their own performance against their site performance. Multi-factor productivity is an indication of the productivity with which selected factors of production are used in the creation of the output of a firm, industry, etc. This seminar is a literature review on Multi-factor productivity of multi storey buildings. 17 papers are studied for this review. In all literatures, analysis of factors affecting labor productivity or material productivity is done and models are generated for labor productivity. There is minimal reference to the wholesome approach of productivity.

Keywords:

  productivity, construction industry, multi-factor productivity.
