Construction productivity has been challenged with overruns in cost and time. A 2017 report by McKinsey Global Institute noted that labor-productivity growth in construction has failed to keep up with productivity growth in other industries. To uncover whether productivity could be improved by eliminating certain manual installation processes, a time study was conducted of mechanical insulation installation for small-bore pipes and fittings.
