The performance measurement has been taken with the transformation concept of production, which is considered to be a major cause of existing problems. In order to improving productivity, it is argued that the performance measurement based on Lean Construction is necessary. This study suggests new performance measurement indicators based on work flow ; Reliability, Effectiveness, Efficiency.

Recently the construction industry in Korea is facing problems such as low productivity, contraction of the domestic construction market, growing competition, and so on. To enhance the competitiveness continuously through efficiency in this business environments, construction companies need to make efforts to measure and accumulate performance data based on the strategic factors. When analysing performance of construction projects, the unique characteristics of each project should be considered properly, by which the managers can identify current status of project in various perspectives. This study proposes the performance analysis system using the concepts of balanced scorecard and data warehouse technology. The suggested system provides the management with the flexibility in analyzing performance data by applying the pre-defined key performance indicators and the function of multi-dimensional analysis.

In globalization and information-oriented society, the domestic construction companies are competing with others in domestic and overseas market. To survive in the age of limitless competition, companies have to manage their performance systematically. However, domestic small and medium-sized companies which are holding a large majority don't have their own Performance Management System(PMS) yet. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing PMS and to extract key drivers for developing PMS. Through case studies of KPI(UK), NBS(Chile), CII BM&M(USA) and SISIND-NET Project(Brazil), the key drivers are derived. Having these key drivers, this study suggested the conceptual model of PMS using benchmarking for small and medium-sized construction companies.

According to the post evaluation scheme in Korea of a public construction project which is more than 30 Billion KRW, project performance is evaluated by investigating outcomes and effects of the construction after the completion of the project. The current post evaluation results can be used for planning and estimating a construction project in the future. However, it is not easy to utilized for an on-going project because the system does not provide the phase-based performance of a project. Although project planning performance is important for project initiation, few attempt has been made to evaluate planning performance in Korea. The purpose of this study is to provide a conceptual performance evaluation of planning performance using preliminary feasibility study conducted by Korea Development Institute. This study developed a planning performance database using data extracted from preliminary feasibility study reports of the completed 354 road construction projects. This study analyzed the performance of the planning stage of road projects by developing absolute metrics such as standard construction cost and standard construction schedule based on a Lane-Km. Using the standard construction cost and schedule metrics, the planning performance was analyzed by project characteristics. The results of this study can be used for phase-based performance evaluation from planning phase to construction phase.

In construction industry, project performance should be evaluated in terms of project value objectives, i.e., cost, time, quality, safety, and environment. However, there have been few, if any, systematic approaches in assessing comprehensive performance level which encompasses the whole spectrum of project value objectives. It is non trivial to establish the standardized performance metric system due to the project individualities. This study provides a new approach in assessing the wide variety of project performance types by collecting the real industry project data. In addition, the proposed system has been validated through industry survey on project practitioners. It is concluded that the developed quantitative project performance measurement system would be effectively useful in indicating the level of current status of a particular project and furthermore, to provide a meaningful strategy for the future project in a more sustainable way.

건설생산체계 개편의 일환으로 논의되던 시공참여자 제도가 2008년부터 폐지됨에 따라 전문건설업자는 시공참여자에게 재하도급을 주어 노무관리를 일임하던 구조에서 탈피하여 십장 및 그 소속 근로자를 직영 근로자로 고용해야 한다. 이는 전문건설업자의 유.무형 부담을 가중시켜 기업경영의 어려움을 초래할 가능성이 높다. 이와 같이 경영상의 어려움을 최소화하기 위해 전문건설업자가 채택할 수 있는 최선책은 팀제생산방식의 장점을 살리면서 작업능률을 최대한 발휘할 수 있는 건설 노무인력 임금체계를 모색하는 것이다. 이와 같은 건설 노무인력 임금체계로 제2안(팀장과 팀원 모두 고정급형 성과급제 적용)과 제3안(팀장과 팀원 모두 순수 성과급제 적용)이 가장 적합하다. 팀장과 팀원 모두에게 고정급형 성과급제 또는 순수 성과급제를 적용함으로써 팀장(십장)의 긍정적 기능을 유지하면서 건산법 및 노동 관계법상의 근로자 지위를 보장하여 건설 노무인력의 수급안정과 직업 안정성 확보에 기여할 수 있다. 또한 일정 수준 이상의 노동생산성을 확보하여 전문건설업자의 과중한 경영부담을 다소 해소할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Korean government has implemented various construction technology policies to attain competitiveness. However, there have not been interested in appropriate objectives and performance evaluation of the policy implementation. Previous evaluation included only inputs during implementation process not outputs or outcomes. Therefore, this paper performs performance evaluations on 3rd general plans for construction technology that had been implemented from 2003 to 2007 by government. This analyzes both quantitative and qualitative results. The results tell us that clear and appropriate objectives and evaluation methodology should be established for effective performance evaluation. This paper will provide the basis for establishing future construction policies or plans.

Quality is the core competence for customer satisfaction in current competitive business environments. The manufacturing companies regard the quality as the success factor in enhancing competitiveness and foremost concept of the management innovation. But in many cases, the basis for the quality management and the action programs are not prepared yet. In construction industry, normally schedule and cost have priority over quality and the level of overall quality is relatively lower than other industries. This is caused by the vague quality goal and result-oriented management. This study suggests the quality performance indicators for measuring performance objectively, and develops the continuous quality monitoring system based on those indicators. By using this system, the quality improvement can be expected and corporate quality competitiveness can be ensured.

Multiple parties-owners, engineering and construction contractors, and suppliers involve the delivery process of capital facility projects in the construction industry, and each party obtains or provides their workforce, material, equipment, or service tied into specific contracts. Considering that construction projects are based on the contracted relationship between the parties and that contract types are one of the significant factors determining project success. it is critical for project stakeholder to select appropriate contract types for successful deliveries of projects. With these considerations, this paper assesses impacts of different contract types on project cost, schedule, safety, change, or rework. Analyzing data from real construction projects, the differences in project performance between two contract types, Cost Reimbursable and Lump Sum are measured and statistically tested to investigate if the differences are significant. For this analysis, performance metrics developed by Benchmarking and Metrics program, the Construction Industry Institute are used.

In 1994, Korean construction research and development (R&D) projects received investments amounting to 1.2 billion KRW, an amount that rose to 164.8 billion KRW in 2007. Under the current system, construction researchers submit the application records of Construction Research and Development (R&D) in construction projects to the Korea Institute of Construction & Transportation Technology Evaluation and Planning. The performance of Construction R&D projects has thus been dependent on the subjective reporting of the results by the researchers themselves. For this reason, it is difficult to secure confidence in the records of Construction Research and Development. Therefore, this research suggested measures for revitalizing Construction Research and Development, analyzed approaches to cost-saving in Construction Research and Development, and analyzed economic effectiveness in the results of construction R&D.
