SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF WORK PRODUCTION RATES FOR UTP R&D RESEARCH CENTRE

The purpose of this report is to record down all the activities that are directly or indirectly contributed towards completing the author’s Final Year Project starting from September 2014 to May 2015. The author’s final year project shall show the spatial analysis of the work production rate for the UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI PETRONAS (UTP) new R&D Research Centre construction site. In this project, the author shall discuss on the method used to obtain the work production rate (Work Sampling Method), in which the work production is concluded as effective work, contributory work and ineffective work. Then the author had to show how to spatial analysed the data obtained by using the Geographic Information System (GIS). For the study of the work production rate, it was carried out on the three most contributing work forces available on the construction site which were the carpenters, bar benders and general workers. From the result, the author was able to determine the work production for each work force available in terms of effective work, contributory work and ineffective work. Furthermore, the author was able to determine the inter relationship between all the work forces by comparing the entire work production rate. Lastly, the author was able to present the data of work production rate using the ArcGIS 9.3 software by storing all the data and presenting the data using pie chart
