The asphalt paving industry has an opportunity to improve the productivity of labor, equipment, and material resources with existing technologies. A systems approach is provided for measuring and improving the use of asphalt paving resources with established productivity methods. Production data from an asphalt paving project are evaluated using crew balance charts and computer simulation to understand equipment interaction and minimize paving production costs. Implementation of productivity evaluation methods and construction process planning can reduce costs and increase profits on asphalt paving projects through more efficient use of resources. Owner agencies must be aware of contractor cost elements so that cost-effective project contract documents can be prepared. A review of current practices in asphalt paving productivity, analyses of traditional productivity measurement methods, and an application of improving productivity using collected data are provided. A productivity management system is proposed that uses existing global positioning system technology to process asphalt paving productivity data through real-time data acquisition, productivity analysis, and information feedback.
