Abstract

Process Improvement and Automation in Construction: Opposing or Complementing Approaches? Lauri Koskela Pages 105-112 (1992 Proceedings of the 9th ISARC, Tokyo, Japan, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: It is widely recognized that there must be wide-ranging changes in construction before automation can be implemented in practice. On the other hand, the innovation rate of construction is rather low, and thus it is unclear, how the steps necessary for automation could be realized.it is argued, that an insufficient attention to process improvement is a major barrier to automation and other technological progress of construction.
