    Abstract : Building new infrastructure is an essential part of developing society. The construction industry is also an important part of economic growth, accounting for 13% of the world's GDP. At the same time, the construction industry lacks behind in increasing its productivity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Construction transport efficiency from the perspective of Main Contractor and Transporter

    Author : Farah Naz; Anna Fredriksson; Linea Kjellsdotter Ivert; Johan Woxenius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction transport efficiency; Performance measures; Construction logistics management; Case study;

    Abstract : Transport efficiency within construction is low. One reason behind the lack of efficiency within the construction transport is the lack of proper logistics management that in turn results in problems of delivery reliability, material flows as well as material availability. READ MORE
