“…Moder et al (1983) suggested that collecting actual data on site and processing it to measure progress should be carried out with a limited amount of time and effort. Ghanem (2006) also mentioned that the "units completed" technique requires much time and effort for the measurement work itself, making it impossible to deliver just-in-time information concerning progress.…”

In this paper, the authors present the concept of a progress management system that synchronizes the quality inspection process with integrated cost-schedule information in construction projects. In general, construction progress has been measured using subjective judgments by field managers or extensively processed cost data. A practical progress management system should be able to maintain and provide objective and reliable progress data on time without extra data processing. The quality inspection process can produce appropriate data for this purpose. However, in conventional construction management practices, progress measurement and quality inspection have been separated. In order to design and implement a system that synchronizes them, the available information that can be provided from current processes were identified and connected using the following steps: 1) analyzing the quality inspection process, 2) identifying the means for measuring progress, 3) determining identical elements in various schedules, and 4) linking quality inspection lots to the means for measuring progress. An on-line system was developed and applied to a nuclear power plant construction project in Korea. The results from operating it show that the conflicts in progress determination between clients and contractors were reduced, and the costs and time for administrative tasks involving the processing of progress management and quality inspection data were saved.

“…Ghanem and Abdelrazig (2006) proposed a model based on wireless communication technologies in order to provide an estimate of the work completed on a construction project. In their research, RFID tags were placed on items on a site, and an earned value estimate was obtained using the tracking results from the RFID tags (Ghanem & Abdelrazig, 2006). However, the problem with estimating earned value or progress estimates strictly from RFID tags is that the estimates obtained from these models are applicable only to those activities on a site that are directly associated with the movement of physical entities on a site, such as delivery activities.…”

“…Song (2005), Song et al (2006) proposed an automated tracking of materials approach by which materials tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, which prove the approach can improve project performance and enable effortless derivation of project performance indicators. Ghanem, AbdelRazig (2006) proposed a model based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system which can keep track of the material used on site, based on the estimated quantity will permit making a better estimate of the amount of work done on a construction site. Jaselskis, El-Misalami (2003) proposed applying the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in construction operations, which can enhance the efficiency of information management for construction industry owners and contractors.…”

Abstract. The primary technological barrier in effectively transferring information automatically and adopting Auto ID/EDI technologies in construction is the lack of a construction common product coding system (CCPCS) for encoding and transferring information. To facilitate the information transfer between different components of the construction process and using new Auto ID technologies in construction application, the paper proposes a construction common product coding system (CCPCS). It is a set of agreed-upon standards that will facilitate communication among parties in the construction process especially using automated data collection processes and possibly technologies to transfer information in electronic form. The CCPCS the paper proposed can be classified as internal or external, permanent or temporary, primary or secondary etc. The research use barcode technology and EDI as the primary technologies to explore the impact of the CCPCS in construction application. However, the concepts of CCPCS still are advantageous for the applications of other Auto ID technologies individually or integration in construction.
