resources which have been allocated to him. This type of efficient management will simultaneously lead to better income from the project.

Abstract-There are three main constituents of any standard construction site steel (reinforcement), concrete (binder) and labor i.e. workforce now over the past few decade we have almost perfected the use concrete and steel, but the third and the most integral part of the industry has seen very little development. This the reason why the productivity of the workforce still proves to be a challenging issue of efficiency. Mostly in the developing countries across the globe specially the ones which are still dependent upon manual labor for most of the tasks. The aim of this paper is to analyze the key factors affecting the workforce efficiency in the Delhi ncr area. The analysis was done by distributing personalized questionnaires designed according to the experience, qualification and rank of the recipient. After analysis the prevalent issues were sorted and discussed and the actions which could be taken to improve them were provided. Key words: - Labour, Improvement, Workforce

Efficiency,

1.2 Objective The objective is to study the practical data gathered from different sources on the basis of this study categorizing the issues, sorting them according to their importance and provide a feasible solution for them if possible. Hence summarizing the aim is to  Collection and analysis the factors which affect the labour productivity.  Sorting of the persistent and the prevalent issues relevant for discussion.  Providing a feasible solution for most of the issues.

1.3 Work Force Efficiency

Productivity,

In pure technical terms efficiency can be defined as the ratio of useful work performed to the total energy expanded. Now in civil engineering terms it can rather be simply defined as units of work placed per man hours. In simple terms it is the ratio of output to the resources allocated for achieving the task. Where resources can comprise of labor, capital, energy, raw material etc. Work Force efficiency = Work done Cost incurred Hence, there are two major ways to increase efficiency: increase the numerator (Work done) or decrease the denominator (Cost incurred). Of course, a similar effect would be seen if both input and output increased, but output increased faster than input; or if input and output decreased, but input decreased faster than output.

1. Introduction

1.1 General Improving the efficiency of workforce can sometimes proof to be a monumental task. Although one might disagree on the above mentioned notion that there have been no or very little development in the manual aspects of the construction industry as most of the structures are being constructed through automated machinery and most of the laborious tasks have been reduced. This fact although true provides very little aspect of the whole notion and as a conclusion any construction site irrespective of the scale is heavily dependent on the assigned workforce. Hence the efficiency of the work force proves to be the decisive factor in the profit earned by the contactor in a particular project.

Efficiency is an objective concept. As an objective concept it can be measured, ideally against a universal standard. As such, contractors can monitor efficiency for strategic reasons such as corporate planning, self-improvement, or comparison to competitors. It can also be used for tactical reasons such as project control or controlling performance to budget.

In general the labor efficiency is directly proportional to factors like time, cost and quality and the allocation of these resources depends upon the construction manager in charge. So, as a construction manager it his duty to get the maximum output possible from the workforce with the current
