Labor productivity

idea posted by Rajdeep Das Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers
My knowledge says labor productivity is important indicator for us, as productivity problems can break labor budgets and erode profit margins. We should separate jobs within a project to identify discrepancies between actual labor expenditures and estimates. This information is  very vital for us and field supervisors to forecast cost-to-complete, establish daily performance goals, address current problems, and improve future estimating and bidding accuracy.....

Tracking Schedule Variance

idea posted by Venkatesh M Warehouse Manager, Larsen and Toubro
Rajdeep, good point. We have seen increasingly complex project specifications and schedule compression, so i feel we should be able to identify and monitor schedule variance to deliver projects on a timeline that satisfies owners' demands. Understanding which factors cause schedule variance, such as change orders and weather, allows you to properly plan, communicate, and coordinate resources, to ensure higher quality output, improved safety, and better resource utilization and allocation.....

Well I go with what Mr.Venkatesh has viewed tracking SV further to add with we should monitor Cost Variance so that we can monitor profit or loss margins.

Add your argument:

ROCE and EVA

idea posted by M NITIN SHENOY, PMP, IPMA-D, CEng MICE Manager

ROCE = Return on Capital Employed = Net Earnings / Avg. Net Fund Employed... (Reduced for a year...!!!)

Avg. Net Fund Emplyed = Func (Avg. Working Capital, Avg. Net Fixed Assets)

EVA = Economic Value Added = Net Earnings after Tax - Cummulative Capital Charges

Key Perfomance Indicators form the basis for Prebid qualifying of the construction firms.

Mostly these are 

  •  Stead fast Financial turnover for past three years.
  •  Profit loss statements of the company
  •  Use of modern technologies in the projects  executed.

I guess it will not decrease the weight of the metal because due to the increased weight of the oxygen which has combined with the iron......    But sides are not relevant !! 
Kannan good debate but can you make you sides more clear. And one way is to reuse the wasted cements. Most of the people they don't reuse it and leave it like that.
