Abstract

One of the main costs in construction projects is the cost of human resources, the correct management of which will increase productivity in construction projects. The most important issue in human resource management is to identify the time and points where projects face time wastage. Time management and increasing the work efficiency of projects requires the use of methods and tools. In this article, with a case study of a construction workshop, we will discuss how to use six sigma methodology and the role of RFID technology in identifying the points and people who have the most wasted time in the workshop, and then by presenting solutions to try to optimize and reduce time wastage in the project. After applying changes to reduce time in this workshop, we can see the results obtained in relation to optimization and time reduction. In this regard, by combining two different branches of six sigma, which is an optimization method, and six sigma technology, a practical method was presented to reduce wasted times and manage them, so that one of the issues and problems in construction workshops was optimized and In fact, time management should be addressed in human resources. In this way, it was observed that with the implementation of RFID technology, the wasted time of the workers was calculated and the people who have a lot of wasted time were identified, and its optimization was done using the solution of replacing people.
