  • Abstract:
    Construction productivity improvement has become a key area of focus among academia and industry over the last decade attributable to its strong potential in benefitting the construction industry. Despite its high impact on the construction industry, productivity improvement is still an area in which much research work needs to be done to explore its true potential in a practical industry context. Today’s construction industry seems to adopt productivity improvement initiatives to gain a competitive edge in the global market place; however, systematization of these approaches is still an area of concern. This paper discusses a framework for the implementation of productivity improvement activities on a construction site, making the process more systematic, accountable, and sustainable with the creation of the construction productivity improvement officer (CPIO), a dedicated position, on construction sites.
