Abstract |
Construction Standard Productivity Manual (CSPM) has been used for estimating the contract amount of public construction projects. CSPM has been annually either revised and/or newly enacted with high costs. Therefore, This study makes use of CYCLONE, which is a simulation modeling and analysis system specialized in construction operation, to improve the revising and enacting processes of CSPM. This paper presents the CSPM revision module that is an Add-in to Web-CYCLONE. The new module can be effectively used to incorporate the auxiliary tasks and the non-productive tasks into AL-Form operation model. The outputs obtained from the models using he CSPM revision module and from work sampling were compared to verify the usability of the add-in modules. This study verifies that the new module can effectively assist enacting and/or revising CSPM. |
