Abstract

The productivity in any organization is a key parameter showing the success of the organization. The construction site is a place where a number of factors play crucial role in deciding the labour productivity. The construction activities depend upon the basic factors like manpower, money and machinery. In the present study, the relative importance index (RII) has been used to assess the on-site labour productivity for a residential project. For this purpose, the factors have been divided into different groups like manpower group, communication group, resources group, etc.

Keywords

Labour productivity, resources, relative importance index, and management
