PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT-PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO

(P.A.R)

Performance is a ratio of accomplishment to methods.

the worth of performance is the value of the accomplishment divided by the cost of the methods.

PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO (P.A.R)

The measurement of worth of a particular crew’s performance is more than just calculating how it is worth relative to cost.

It therefore becomes essential that a crew’s performance be compared against a yardstick of acceptable standard.

PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO (P.A.R)

Time study can help to establish standard time, although it is expensive and time consuming.

Contractors establish estimated rates based on past experiences, to form their bases of estimation for new jobs.

To overcome this problem exemplar performance has been introduced to management team.

PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO (P.A.R)

PAR= Exemplar Performance/Current Performance

There are a number of ways in which P.A.R can be used.

One such a way is the comparison between current performance and exemplar.

This will give a measurement of site worker’s performance.

PAR=1 It means current work is equal to exemplar It is hardly possible for any firm to maintain it.

PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO (P.A.R)

PAR>1 it means there is potential for improving the performance of the crew on site.

PAR<1 Is an indication that a company’s performance is above Average.

PERFORMANCE ABILITY RATIO (P.A.R)

PAR also can be shown as: PAR= Exemplar Performance/Weekly

Average. The Exemplar Performance can be

measured from daily productivity rate against weekly average productivity.
