Abstract

Now days Productivity has become a day to day issue that every researcher, politician, and managers and any workers of an organization talks about it because it is key to the survival and growth of any organization, industry or nation. Because the world’s resources are getting scares and life is continuing, out puts of greater or equal amount should be produced or built for what is consumed possibly with optimum wastage so that resources can be conserved. From several research works it is observed that the history of the construction industry worldwide is full of projects that were completed with significant time and cost overruns. Furthermore, many researchers and practitioners have also identified poor management practices that lead to poor performance such as scope changes, design errors and omissions, lack of proper planning and scheduling, improper management of tools, equipment, materials, and labour among many other factors. This is also true for similar construction projects in Defense Construction Enterprise. In an attempt to reverse these trends, this study aims in identify and analyze these problems using the statistical survey and multi-attribute analytic technique. Based on the results of these problems, a model that would integrate the relationship between time and cost overrun with labour productivity has been developed and by this the productivity of the enterprise will be improved and hence, project cost will be reduced and projects will be completed before contract time will be elapsed. Consequently customers would be satisfied since buildings would be delivered on time for the intended service.
