An Analysis of Non-Behavioral Factors Affecting Work Order Time and Cost Productivity.
Abstract
The improvement of productivity of the civil engineering work force has long been a goal of Air Force Civil Engineering managers. Each year the requirement to do more work with less resources has become more and more pronounced. The first step in any increase is the identification of those factors with a direct bearing on productivity. The authors of this thesis have taken actual work order and shop data from a U.S. Air Force base and developed linear mathematical models using multiple linear regression analysis to identify those non-behavioral factors with a direct or inverse relationship to productivity. After testing the models for statistical significance, the authors conclude that a linear relationship exists between certain work order and shop parameters and the amount of time and cost productivity for a given shop.
