Effects of Crash Programming on a Construction Project
As a construction project executes, several situations may arise that were not anticipated at the time when schedules were prepared. Some of these unforeseen events cause delays to the project to such an extent that increase in the project completion time seems inevitable, thus creating pressure on the contractors to accelerate the pace of the remaining work implementing a crash program.
An empirical study has been performed, by using survey data collected from the construction practitioners working in Pakistan, to identify the effects of crash programming on construction projects with special importance laid to identify the combined effect on the finished product, the organizations involved and the personnel involved due to the crash program. It is anticipated that the analysis and the recommendations of the study will be beneficial for the planners in determining the aspects that shouldn’t be neglected during the initial planning to avoid unrealistic crash programs. Moreover, the findings will prove to be useful to identify means to improve the quality of the finished product as well as the performance of involved organizations and personnel.
Key Words: Crash programming, Construction industry, Contractors, Pakistan.
