  • Abstract:
    This research study introduces the development of a method for measuring and analyzing the project level productivity (PLP) of all project activity over the life of the project. A key aspect of the measurement method was the development of a process to combine multiple simultaneous work activity productivity into a global productivity value for the project as a whole. Three case studies, including the collection of thousands of productivity values, were performed on highway construction projects to demonstrate the validity of the analysis method. Results indicate that productivity can be measured and analyzed at the project level based upon the field data of construction operations.
