- Abstract:
Improvements in design, achieved through a better understanding of fabrication costs, may cause an overall cost reduction for steel structures. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) provides the mechanism for transformation of data collected by an information system to data which is used in the evaluation of structural steel fabrication costs. The integration of fabrication control and analysis provided by this system permits its implementation in existing fabrication environments, and presents a desperately needed technological gain for the fabrication process. Traditional design approaches which have relied heavily on experience can now be evaluated and improved in terms of cost competitiveness, prior to or during fabrication by the proposed MLR strategy.
