Title: MECHANIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION TASKS: LEVEL ASSESSMENT AND CRAFT WORKFORCE AWARENESS
Issue Date: 2021-07
Abstract: Construction Industry (CI) tasks often consist of manual work and work-machine systems. Still, the craft workforce is the primary site labour dimension. Construction tasks are mainly artisanal and low productivity is one of the CI main concerns. There is a gap in craftwork modelling methods and a lack of research on construction tasks mechanization assessment. This work quantitatively assesses four on-site tasks' mechanization level through modelling the crew processes using work sampling and Monte Carlo methods. In addition, craft workers on duty dressed up wearables and through interviews delivered their impressions about electronic monitoring and tasks mechanization.
