Abstract
Operational efficiency directly reflects the profitability of a project. It is for benefit of a construction site. The current research paper focus on high operational efficiency by reducing waste, better layout planning, sound administration, business practices an, review of existing facilities etc. To improve the operational efficiency will enhance the profit by adding the value to the project in the form of cost reduction in internal transportation, utilization of existing facilities effectively. The study adopted the Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Techniques (CRAFT) and computerized relationship planning (CORELAP) algorithm to analyze the operational efficiency.
Highlights
The construction projects are unique compared to other projects and requires attention at all the stages of the construction
Due to complexity of site layout planning problems, construction managers used to perform the task using previous experience, ad-hoc rules, first in first out(FIFO) approach which leads to ambiguity and even to inadequate facilities in the project site
From the above analysis, it is observed that an amount of INR 10,355 can be saved per week if the same project has been done with newly formed layout using computerized relative allocation of facilities techniques (CRAFT) and computerized relationship planning (CORELAP)
Summary
The construction projects are unique compared to other projects and requires attention at all the stages of the construction. Sound and effective communication is crucial for smooth functioning of project activities, Which in turn leads to enhance the operational efficiency and productivity. Planning the layout of construction project is crucial task and it has significant impact on construction cost, productivity and safety. It involves positioning and dynamic relocation of temporary facilities that were needed to support various construction activities on site such as office, storage area, working area etc. Due to complexity of site layout planning problems, construction managers used to perform the task using previous experience, ad-hoc rules, first in first out(FIFO) approach which leads to ambiguity and even to inadequate facilities in the project site. A well designed layout may contribute to overall efficiency of operations in the project site and may cut down the operating cost drastically
