Integrated FAHP-FDEMATEL for determining causal relationships in construction crew productivity modelling

Construction crew productivity is affected by the motivation of the crew performing given activities and by situational/contextual factors forming the dynamic construction environment. The literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of
causal relationships between crew motivation and situational/contextual factors for dynamic modelling of crew productivity.
The contributions of this paper are (1) identifying a set of criteria for performing expert weight assignment for heterogenous
group experts in productivity research, (2) proposing an integrated fuzzy analytic hierarchy process–fuzzy decision-making
trial and evaluation laboratory approach that provides a systematic, structured method for determining causal relationship
mapping between factors affecting crew productivity, and (3) proposing an approach for identifying cause-and-effect groups
among the situational/contextual factors and crew motivation, which can further be used to formulate strategic productivity
improvement solutions. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using a case study on an actual industrial construction
project in Alberta, Canada. -
