Measurement of productivity rate of drainage trench excavation using lean strategy

Productivity in construction industry is the ratio of output over resources that determine the outcome of product. LEAN is the principle used by the manufacturing industry to improve their product. This research apply the measuring productivity principle used by the manufacturing industry on machine...
