A Study To Enlarge mass Production In Building Industry By Material Waste Management

civil engineering

In the current environment, Building industry had pressed to find ways to gain a competitive advantage and improve slim profit margins. In Building industry Material, Manpower, Money, and Machine play a crucial persona. Research has shown that construction materials and equipment may constitute more than 70% of the total cost for a typical construction project. Material wastage in construction projects resulted into huge financial setbacks to builders and contractors. Material waste has been acknowledged as a major issue in the construction industry. So, Waste management is very important for a company’s profitability. Significant volumes of waste result from activities such as inefficient design, inaccurate materials estimates and orders, design changes, poor logistics and storage, and a traditional low prioritisation of materials costs as compared to labour costs. Cost-benefit analyses indicate you can save up to 2% of the construction cost by achieving good practice wastage rates on the 5-10 most wasted components on each project. This is because if a company can manage its waste properly, reduction in waste can help the company to reduce its cost. Therefore the proper management of this single largest component can improve the productivity and cost efficiency of a project and help ensure its timely completion. This dissertation delineate the consequence of research studies carried out in Pune (Maharashtra) that investigated the loss of total productivity due to happening of material waste at building sites located in different locations of the Pune in Maharashtra. From this it is reasoned out that total productivity can be enhanced by efficient & strict control over supervisors and flow of construction materials. The main focus of this dissertation is to seek the most effective waste management methods that can help the companies to reduce their cost and thus increase their corporate profits or productivity.
