- Abstract:
An interactive system for analysis of construction operations is proposed. The analysis is carried out in the context of various work modules which address quantity development, resource definition, and production and cost analysis. The quantity work module generates quantities based on information available in the design documents. The resource definition module receives and stores data regarding the labor/equipment combination to be used to execute work tasks. This module provides the user with a set of standard useful construction process models. For each construction operation to be analyzed, the terminal describes the standard models. The user makes input of a set of parameters for process keyname, quantity, work task durations, number of resources, production capacity of each unit, and cost per hour of each unit to the standard model to be used. Using input from the resource definition module, the productivity and cost analysis module generates production rates and unit costs based on process simulation using CYCLONE methodology.
