2. 1. Towards Understanding Productivity in On-Site Housebuilding

   Author : Alexander Jimenez; Susanne Engström; Lars Stehn; Martin Rudberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; productivity; construction; housebuilding; performance; productivity measurement; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

   Abstract : Global reports over the years indicate that productivity development in construction is poor if compared to other industries, even negative in some countries, calling for a change to increase productivity. However, the construction industry has a problem of defining, measuring and using productivity. READ MORE

4. 2. Software Development Productivity : Evaluation and Improvement for Large Industrial Projects

   Author : Piotr Tomaszewski; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; software development productivity; evaluation; improvement;

   Abstract : Software development productivity can be improved by introducing improvements in many areas. In this thesis we investigate technology and process driven productivity improvements, i.e., productivity improvements that have sources in changes of technologies or in changes in development processes.
