Cost and Time Analysis: Time Reduction
753.4
IMPLICATIONS OF TIME REDUCTION
It must be emphasized that although the planning modules and the
integrated subsystems allow certain time reductions and facilitate
accelerated scheduling, they do not reduce the actual amount of work to
be done. They simply allow the work to be carried out more efficiently.
They in no way substitute for the knowledge, skills, or decision-making
capabilities of administrators, architects, engineers, technical consultants
and construction contractors and sub-contractors. The intent is to assist
all parties concerned in making more effective use of their time.
It must also be pointed out that it is highly unlikely that all the potential
advantages of these devices will be fully obtained on the first building
project. Since many features of the proposed system are innovative or
theoretical, there is no way to accurately predict their performance in the
field. It must be expected that actual cost and time savings will be subject
to the typical learning curve of any new production process.
