Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Benchmarking against excellent competitors is central to the business reengineering process. The research proposed here provides an innovative programme of benchmarking against one of the world's leading construction industries. Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a different manner of organizing the construction process fits clearly within the CMP programme objectives and provides an important demonstration to facilitate learning within the UK industry. This benchmarking programme will focus upon three specific areas - the enhancement of vale for the client; the integration of design and construction; the standardization of systems for structural elements; and, through the demonstration effect, help to generate a culture for improvement both within the collaborating companies and more broadly.
