A Study on the Effectiveness of Worker in Tiling

Abstract

The work of activities in construction requires the manpower as a basis for obtaining productivity. Therefore, the effectiveness of work was importance for work planning as well as to reduce ineffectiveness work and reduce non-work procedures for labor. In the objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the tiling work. The data was collected in the housing project in Chonburi. Two aspects of data collecting include 1) Field Rating technique using and collecting the project overview data and 2) Five Minute Rating technique using and collecting data of the tiling work. After that, the data are analyzed by using Crew Balance Chart method and proposed to improve the work effectiveness. From the analysis, it was found that the effectiveness of the overall project assessment was equal to 44.90%. The tiling activity effectiveness was equal to 74.16% and the effectiveness of each worker was equal to 90% 92.50% and 40%. To improving the work effectiveness was using the Crew Balance Chart technique. Therefore, the effectiveness of the tiling work increased from 74.16% to 84.90%. Suggestions for improving work process are shifting the way each worker to increase the effectiveness of the tiling work and organize the material storage area to make the retrieval easy to reduce the time and distance to transport materials.
