ABSTRACT
The Construction projects, especially the
highway construction projects, uses huge amount
of resources on and off the field in various forms
of resources viz., materials, plants, equipments
and human resources along with money, time and
space. The uniqueness of the projects makes the
resource planning a tedious job as the efficiency of
each resource depends upon a huge number of
working condition factors. A detailed study of
resource planning and productivity can, thus help
in good resource planning, better monitoring and
overall controlling of the project. In highway
projects, the same resource is often used for
different activities and the productivity of that
resource being different for different activities, it
becomes inevitable to know the correct norms for
correct estimation, planning and monitoring.
The main objective of this thesis work
was to planning the main resources (i.e. the
equipments, plants and manpower) deployed at a
highway project by using Microsoft Soft Project
Software.

4 Programme Objectives
The most general objective of planning is to
improve to provide a link between the establishment
of an effective productivity measurement system and
the human task of improving organizational
performance by means of changes in all or several
elements of the organization-the people, structure,
culture and technology. Some more specific objective
of the programme could be:
To improve managerial, planning and problemsolving skills.
To improve teamwork and human relations.
To set up an effective productivity information
system.
To trigger a breakthrough to a higher level of
organizational performance.
To help revitalize the organization and its climate

7 Conclusions
The visit to highway project site and study
of available database in the project site reveals that
the construction companies in India have neither yet
realize the necessity of detail study of their own
resources nor have develop their accounting system
for research and development purpose has evident
from the lack of useful and relevant data from the
site.
The present construction practices in India is
still adopt the methodology of as and when required
resource management. Lack of professionalism
leading to lack of detailed and meticulous planning
and irrational decision making as per site
management is concerned leading to under utilization
of resources to a great extent. till now project
resource planning is only limited to planning and
scheduling with time but resource mobilization and
usage planning according to their capacity and
availability, ahead of time-in the planning stage, is
still nobodys concern.
In the present globalize business scenario,
Indian construction companies have also started
facing stiff competition from foreign competitors. In
this tightrope sitituation even the big companies from
India have to access their own strength and weakness
according to sitituation. In order to assess their
capabilities for utilization of resources and track their
productivity status, the first step should be to keep
and maintain their real time record and build a data
base from the ongoing projects. Next step is to
analyze the data and find out the productivity of
resources, and compared them with expected/
budgeted norms and improvement initiative as
applicable. The companies should not only
concentrate on activity oriented planning, but also at
the same time should plan mobilization and usage of
resources well before execution work started.
Apart from different technical factor
affecting the productivity, the logistical arrangement
at site plays a major role in the production rate. For
8 Recommendations
A detailed work method and time motion
study on each of the equipments used in the each type
of activities in different site and environmental
conditions is required.
Material usage standard should be maintain
properly and Inward, Outward of material from store
should be maintain.
Training Programs can improve the productivity of
manpower, so training programs should be used on
the site, and statistics of manpower productivity
should be kept.
The productivity studies of the driving and
non-riving resources, indicates that the planning and
allocation of the non-driving resources can be done
optimally and economically.
