Impact of Takt-Time Planning on Plastering Work Productivity: A Case Study

Abstract

This article aims to analyze productivity issues during the implementation of plastering works on the case study of a residential complex. The results of the study revealed that establishing a proper work schedule and adhering to the Takt schedule resulted in a 19% increase in plastering productivity compared to non-Takt schedules. Furthermore, the study identified the existence of waste, which had a negative impact on the progress of the plastering work and could have been prevented through better project planning during the initial project phases.
