Abstract

In the past, productivity assessment and performance evaluation were carried out separately due to cost constraints. Performing both simultaneously could significantly improve a project monitoring system. The appropriate use of schedule compression methods to accelerate the work at hand will reduce additional costs. The aim of this study was to develop a project monitoring tool that combines productivity assessment and schedule compression methods for reporting productivity status and evaluating project performance. Factors Affecting Productivity (FAP) and Schedule Compression Methods (SCM) were identified and measured from completed building projects. The capability of using these factors as project assessment tool and project performance predictor was analysed using fuzzy logic inference system. It is found that the Time Performance Ratio (TPR) can be included in a project status report to monitor and predict project performance.

Pada masa lalu, penaksiran produktiviti dan penilaian prestasi telah dibuat secara berasingan disebabkan oleh kekangan kos. Melaksanakan kedua-duanya serentak akan memperbaiki lagi sistem pemantauan projek. Penggunaan kaedah pemendekan jadual yang sesuai untuk mempercepatkan kerja akan mengurangi kos tambahan. Tujuan kajian ini ialah untuk membangunkan satu alat pemantauan projek yang menggabungkan penaksiran produktiviti dan kaedah pemendekan jadual bagi melapor status produktiviti dan menilai prestasi projek. Faktor mempengaruhi produktiviti (FAP) dan kaedah pemendekan jadual (SCM) telah dikenalpasti dan diukur daripada projek bangunan yang telah siap. Kebolehan menggunakan dua elemen tersebut sebagai alat penaksir projek dan peramal prestasi projek telah dianalisis menggunakan sistem taabir logik fuzzy. Nisbah prestasi masa (TPR) terbukti boleh dimasukkan ke dalam laporan status projek bagi memantau dan meramal prestasi projek.
