Abstract

Operational efficiency directly reflects the profitability of a project. It is for benefit of a construction site. The current research paper focus on high operational efficiency by reducing waste, better layout planning, sound administration, business practices an, review of existing facilities etc. To improve the operational efficiency will enhance the profit by adding the value to the project in the form of cost reduction in internal transportation, utilization of existing facilities effectively. The study adopted the Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Techniques (CRAFT) and computerized relationship planning (CORELAP) algorithm to analyze the operational efficiency.
