Computer packages for construction data acquisition and processing
Problems of construction site data collection are reviewed and their impact on the planning of construction projects and job productivity discussed. It is believed that utilizing current computer packages for data acquisition will provide sufficient data to justify statistical analysis and stochastic processing of construction planning and control systems. A brief history of stochastic modelling in construction management is given and the difficulties involved in stochastic analysis of construction operations discussed. Well-known computer packages for statistical analysis are presented and their limitations for construction applications identified. A special-purpose computer package for construction duration data acquisition and processing is described and possible future extensions recommended. It is believed that without such a data reduction system, a large number of construction scheduling and simulation models cannot be used stochastically.
