→
Norms: wk-hrs/installed quantity
• Calculate expected productivity
model(s)
• Assess the gap
→ Regression

Summary
Update on CII Benchmarking Productivity Metrics
• Construction & Engineering Metrics
have been developed
• We are collecting data on construction
metrics now
• Data collection for engineering metrics will
begin by August 31st
• If you need the metrics, you need to submit
data!
Summary
Proposed Uses for the Metrics
• Gap analysis
• Identify work-hour gains/losses
• Provide check on estimating system
• Trend analysis – are you improving?
Summary
Alignment between CII Benchmarking & PT192
• BM&M and PT192 are working together to
coordinate efforts
• Differences, overlaps, and similarities
between both groups have been identified
• Both efforts will share data and results where
possible on an ongoing basis
• Both efforts need data to succeed

Engineering Productivity Efforts
“Similar but Different and Complimentary”
Actions to Align BM&M and PT192
• Share PT192 workshop results with BM&M. - Done
• Design “General Project Information” portion of PT192 data
collection form to avoid redundancy with BM&M
questionnaire. - Done
• PT192 participation on BM&M’s Implementation Session at
2002 Annual Conference. - Today
• Share team members to maintain integration. - In
progress
• Share data. - Will begin as data is received
• Joint BM&M / PT192 meeting to share results. - 11/15/02
• Report to CII Executive Committee. - Fall 2002
