Productivity Improvement for Construction and Engineering: Implementing Programs That Save Money and Time
ASCE Press

J. K. Yates lays the groundwork by defining what it means to improve productivity and summarizing contemporary approaches to productivity improvement programs. The human component of productivity improvement is addressed. Then the reader is taken step-by-step through stages of investigation, data analysis, evaluation of alternatives, and project management. In addition to covering traditional productivity improvement topics, this book also includes information on new and emerging areas, such as building information modeling (BIM), sustainability concepts, computer simulation modeling, and global productivity issues.

Engineering and construction industry professionals will use this book to critically analyze work processes and to design programs that increase production rates at engineering firms and construction job sites.

J. K. Yates, Ph.D., recently retired as dean of the College of Engineering Technology at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, which is the largest college of engineering technology in the United States. In addition to publishing eight books and holding several university positions, Dr. Yates has worked for top-ranked engineering and construction firms.

Make Technical Mastery An Expectation of the Organization - Invest in Learning and Development

In studying manufacturing over the past two decades, we have learned that operational excellence is not achieved by just applying so-called “lean” practices to every process. It requires cultivating an aptitude and an expectation for continuous improvement within every employee.

Similarly, we learned from studying lean product development that people, not processes, make great products.  We frequently encounter managers who think improvements in the development process will pay off in better products. But better products  are created by developers working with better knowledge and supported by good design processes.


Tasks for Managers for Improving New Product Development


Several steps can be taken to advance the development of  NPD people.

Make technical mastery an expectation of the organization and build it into the reward system. Toyota has made developing “towering technical competence” central in grooming new engineers and made mentoring fundamental to engineering leadership requirements.  Ford Motor Co. created  a technical maturity model for each functional area within body and stamping engineering and supported it in the way the company made job assignments, ran design reviews, and rewarded its engineers. Individuals were assessed on their technical capabilities according to the model, and then plans were made to increase the individual’s technical maturity and were incorporated into the individual’s performance evaluation. This created a strong incentive to  to build deeper expertise, for which they were rewarded subsequently.

Second, you should develop design standards and use them. Develop and use design guides as the starting point of the next development project. Once you have design standards, you need to systematically update them based on the learning gained on each development project. Toyota and other companies set aside one to two weeks of the development project timeline to pause and reflect on what they have learned on the current project that should be incorporated into their design standards, and then they do the additional development work to codify that learning into a reusable format. Somebody has to  own the design standards development process. The group of people who will be using them also must have a role  to ensure that they are easy to use and relevant.

Regular (for example, weekly) technical design reviews with the explicit aim of developing people through action learning and cross-functional collaboration have to be held. Some of the key questions issues to be discussed are: (1) What is the design standard used for the particular component, device or test? (2) What is the improvement in the the current design compared to standard? and (3) Where are the data to prove the claimed improvement?

Fourth, ask the following questions about the organization’s formal development process.

Who is responsible for deeply understanding the customer, creating the system architecture, and coordinating efforts to ensure that all decisions align with customer interests?

What problems does the solution intend to solve for the customer, and what additional value should the company offer?

To what extent  fixed aspects of the design (where no deviation from standard) versus the flexible aspects?

Are tricky and challenging issues identified early and efforts to put to solve them?

Are you investing enough resources to investigate the flexible areas?

Does that phase conclude with enough clarity and certainty about the remaining challenges of the project?

To what extent do process checkpoints encourage learning as opposed to meeting requirements or task lists?

Do you have the right number of checkpoints, do they occur at the right points in time, and are the right people involved?

Finally, you should take stock of the leadership culture within the organization. To support learning, ask the leadership team to focus  on instructing and improving. Design and manufacturing standards (what we currently know about the product and the technical processes) are the main tools for deepening the organization’s understanding of products and production processes. Encouraging problem-solving to resolve performance gaps with standards deepens the autonomy and insight of the responsible developers. Developer capacity is further enhanced by asking revealing questions about what people should be learning and how they are learning it.

Great people make great products. The explicit aim of new product development process has to be to grow better developers, who are increasingly knowledgeable and capable of solving problems and generating new solutions. People and people systems are also the most important parts of a product development system, because people generate the knowledge necessary for innovation, and people apply that knowledge to designs for new products, new manufacturing systems, and more robust supply chains.   (Rewrite once again)

18A. Productivity Management has to be part of Industrial Engineering Curriculum

Every industrial engineer is a productivity manager. 

He has to plan for productivity and achieve productivity improvement year after year.

As a part of productivity management, he has to assess management actions of the organization for effect on productivity and has to recommend changes if they have an adverse effect on productivity or if there is scope for increasing productivity by modifying them.

The bottleneck conundrum


Breaking up logjams can be key for process plant production


By Peter L. King


If you are an industrial engineer trying to make your operation lean, you must understand bottlenecks and how to manage them. One of the primary objectives of lean is to achieve smooth continuous flow of material through the process, and bottlenecks can inhibit flow, cause unnecessary inventories and prevent throughput from matching customer demand (takt). So in order to make progress toward lean goals, bottleneck resources must be identified, managed and improved. From a financial point of view, effective management of bottlenecks can reduce inventory and operating cost, increasing throughput, revenue and profitability.

Why Focus on Productivity and  Productivity Management?

Chapter of Productivity Management in Engineering Organizations - Online Book



For a Society or  a nation to raise the standard of living of its population, it must strive to maximize the return from its resources or improve productivity so that the economy can grow and sustain a better quality of life.  (ILO, Introduction to Work Study).

The management of an enterprise is responsible for seeing that the enterprise resources ... are combined in the best possible way to achieve the highest productivity. (ILO, Introduction to Work Study).

The Japanese economy successfully weathered the oil crises of the seventies without suffering serious damage ... This success has been attributed primarily to Japan's high productivity. (Shigeo Shingo)

Productivity is a long-term survival issue. Unless a company focuses on productivity as a key
ingredient of their corporate philosophy, it won't survive. (Ian Rolland and Robert Johnson)

Companies must plan for productivity. Productivity does not just happen. It requires a strategy that is comprehensive, long-range, and monitored. It requires rational, purposeful behavior on the part of everyone.  (Ian Rolland and Robert Johnson)

We can easily state that productivity is the only source of real economic growth and progress. A nation must maintain competitive levels of productivity in key industries to even maintain its standard of living in what is becoming an increasingly competitive world market. (D. Scott Sink)

The manufacturing sector of the Japanese economy has led the world in productivity growth rates for almost 30 years. In a number of key industries, Japan has far surpassed the United States in absolute levels of productivity. One factor contributing to Japan's success is its focus on improving competitive capability, efficiency, and "striking power" in strategically selected target industries.  (D. Scott Sink)

Japan's government and industry cooperate to manage industrial policy strategically. As part of the strategy, growth, productivity, quality, and innovation are managed systematically in target industries. (D. Scott Sink)

2. Complete survey of all operations performed on part. - The analyst must always have in his mind all operations of the process so that sequence decisions can be made at the right moment.

3. Inspection requirements. - What is the inspection specification?

4. Material. - Input material - Is it in right shape for making the operation effective and efficient? Batch quantity decision can also be examined at this stage.

5. Material handling. - How is the material coming to this work station from the earlier location stores or work center.

6. Equipment, accessories, tools and setup and tool - Storage facility. - For each operation, processing, inspection, material handling or storage the equipment and accessories used have to be analyzed,

7. Common possibilities for job improvement. - /this is a common list

8. Working conditions. - The working conditions around the work station are analyzed from the point of view of quality and worker comfort.

9. Method.

a. Sequence change - Divide further, Combine, Rearrange, Simplify

b. Work place arrangement - The placement of materials, inspection tools and other production tools.

c. Machine motions -  machine work improvement - the movement of the machine elements, tools and material are examined from the point of quality and time.

d. Operator movements and motions - motion study  - Operators movements are examined. Motions are examined.


This analysis is done for processing operations, inspection operations, storage operations and material movement operations.
