Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Construction Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015.<br>Urbanisation and globalisation are the foremost trends propelling the growth and development of cities and towns in the world today. The Cape Town central business district is an example of an urban centre that is required to deal with rapid urbanisation. The increasing number of inner-city developments evoked the congested construction sites and are rapidly becoming the norm within the industry. Innovative building production management is crucial in driving productivity which includes reducing cost at

Factors such as poverty, ethnicity, socio-economic status, poor infrastructure and governance, etc., are some of the reasons that effective and proven prevention and treatment interventions for most of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the developing world continue to fail. Chronic diseases require complex interventions that these countries simply cannot maintain. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that is on the rise worldwide.

This study analyses the diffusion of numerically controlled machine tools in sixty Quebec and Ontario engineering and metalworking firms. Interviews with production management provide the data for a critical evaluation of labour process analysis and economic diffusion theory. Management decisions to adopt numerical control technology are found to be guided by technical criteria, contrary to labour process theory. However, economic diffusion theory is found to underestimate the extent of imperfections of knowledge of new technology in industry, the length and costs of learning to use new techno

The asset management application on the tablet captures images of assets and searches an annotated database to identify the asset.
