“…Different approaches to the definition of a hierarchical level of labor productivity boundaries were developed. As an example: Area, activity and, task [99]; project, division, activity, task, elemental motion, orthopedics and, cell [100]; project, division, activity, basic task and, elemental motion [101] and; activity, task, action and, movement [102]. Throughout times, the CI seeks to increase its performance through tasks' mechanization [103].…”

The digitalization of the construction industry (CI) has the aim—among others—to raise the bar of overall productivity. The craft workforce is very relevant on the overall value-chain. Therefore, a boost in this dimension impacts the entire sector. There is a gap in proper methodologies to measure and model productivity. Construction 4.0 novelties provide new approaches for its evaluation and progress. This communication presents a review of workforce productivity assessment and delivers methods focusing primarily on craft workers motion monitoring. Products and services opportunities from Construction 4.0 in the spectrum of craft workforce management include support by embedded sensors for data collection that allow near real-time monitoring. The work developed led to the systematization of a framework to standardize craft workers’ motion productivity. The craft workforce motion productivity framework, Worker 4.0, tenders nine processes integrated on a flowchart to streamline task processes assessment and mechanization level. It also sets up a two-handed/two-legged chart system to model craft workers’ activities and operations. The contributions to the body of knowledge are substantiated on the framework creation with the ability to model and assess craft workforce performance. This approach is meant to serve as base point for different stakeholders focusing on skills, efficiency, mechanization and productivity improvements.

“…The latter can be achieved by placing the equipment on a stand. The classification of control tasks is based on Guo and Tucker's machine line arrangement (Guo & Tucker 1993). This classification comprises the following levels: hand tools, manually controlled devices, telecontrolled devices, pre-programmed devices and cognitive robots.…”

“…In this study, advantages and disadvantages of each conceptual idea are qualitatively described and the best alternative for automation of apartment exterior wall painting is then suggested. In an effort to determine the best alternative, the authors utilized the 'automation needs determination method' using AHP proposed by Guo and Tucker (1993). Fig.…”

“…In this study, the authors also examined the applicability of the three conceptual ideas using ‘automation needs determination method’ using AHP. The AHP was developed by Saaty in the 1980‘ and has been utilized in broad application areas such as decision making (Hastak M., 1994 and 1996), resource allocation, and optimization (Guo, S. & Tucker, R., 1993). A detailed description of the basic procedure involved in AHP is illustrated elsewhere (Saaty J., 1980).…”
