In apartment building with column structure, reinforcing bar of the column is constructed mainly using gas pressure welding job. Therefore, gas pressure welding job in very critical process is construction apartment building with column structure. The purpose of this study is to analyze productivity of gas pressure welding work in column structure apartment using Web-CYCLONE. In this study, a CYCLONE model was developed for the productivity analysis of gas pressure welding work. Through this model, the optimal combination of the resources was obtained. This study will be utilized in the future as a useful tool of productivity analysis and the determination of an optimal combination of resources for gas pressure welding in apartment with column structure.

Construction processes are highly repetitive. A resource entity continuously cycles through work tasks that processes or uses resources. Web-CYCLONE (Halpin 1992) has been accepted as a useful tool for modeling and analyzing a specific operation. However the system has a lack of practicality as follows: (1) it does not efficiently record and keep track of operation models in a database; (2) it does not provide the functions which facilitate to retrieve corresponding model and to update local variables of the model using observed data; (3) it does not automate the complex process that executes simulation experiment, analyzes simulation outputs and generates a report on behalf of the practitioners. Therefore, practitioners have a difficulty in reusing, modifying and analyzing the existing operation models. This study introduces a Client/Server based CYCLONE that improves above-mentioned limitations in the existing Web-CYCLONE. The system was illustrated by revising CSPU in practice.

The domestic construction market started to expand steadily since 1970s. The building market which utilizes a sandwich panel with advantages of economical construction expenses and convenient construction has grown rapidly in recent years. However, the companies which specialize in constructing sandwich panels are relatively small or medium size, compared with other construction companies. As a result, studies on the improvement of productivity have not been conducted sufficiently. In this study, the construction sites of sandwich panel are investigated, and the work processes by each team are analyzed. Additionally, the productivity and the construction cost of each construction team are analyzed by constructing a model using the Web-Cyclone. It is expected that the results of this study can be applied to estimate the productivity and the construction cost of a sandwich panel construction that is appropriate for the on-site characteristics of small and medium sized construction companies in Korea. Also, similar processes can be simulated based on the modeling constructed in this study.

This study was conducted to present useful information on the utilization and productivity analysis of laminated modular multi-family housing. To this end, the process of site installation was investigated and analyzed through a prior study, and the monitoring survey was conducted through the site installation case of an stacked multi-family housing. Based on the above, the results of productivity analysis using the web-cyclone technique were also presented. However, the site installation process has limitations on generalisation because the process is not the same for each construction company, and also limits that require verification through application in the actual site of the web-cyclone model presented in this study.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the productivity of multilayered modular housing units during the prefabrication phase. Additionally, it shows the results of productivity analysis conducted using the Web Cyclone technique. Initially, an review of literature and prior studies helped outline the comprehensive manufacturing process of laminated modular apartments, examining the range of minimum, average, and maximum work durations along with workforce size. Subsequently, the productivity of the multilayered apartments' prefabrication was assessed using the Web Cyclone technique, focusing on the workflow, duration, and personnel involved. This analysis also included a comparison of productivity against the initial plan based on the outcomes of a sensitivity analysis.

Application of radio frequency Identification (RFID) technology in construction industry is not that progressive compared with other industries, because of it's high price experimental research. This research focus on potential application of RFID which eliminate manual data entry and introduce the potential for automated processes to increase project productivity, construction safety, and project cost efficiency. This paper suggest an invoiceless system using RFID technology, Process productivity and efficiency for material management is observed through WebCYCLONE and is compared with other processes.

Demands for digital transformation of the construction industry are increasing to improve the accuracy of the construction operation planning and the performance of the construction operation. Even though large number of studies are being conducted to this date, most of the studies are not likely to be available on the real sites. Therefore, this study provides construction managers with a methodology of drawing construction performance indicators based on productivity analysis using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models and Web-CYCLONE. This methodology is expected to have high utilization and precision of construction operation planning and management.

Construction Standard Productivity Manual (CSPM) has been used for estimating the contract amount of public construction projects. CSPM has been annually either revised and/or newly enacted with high costs. Therefore, This study makes use of CYCLONE, which is a simulation modeling and analysis system specialized in construction operation, to improve the revising and enacting processes of CSPM. This paper presents the CSPM revision module that is an Add-in to Web-CYCLONE. The new module can be effectively used to incorporate the auxiliary tasks and the non-productive tasks into AL-Form operation model. The outputs obtained from the models using he CSPM revision module and from work sampling were compared to verify the usability of the add-in modules. This study verifies that the new module can effectively assist enacting and/or revising CSPM.

This study introduces a method for computation of process and operation gap in the specific construction operation(i.e., RC frame construction applying a block-grouping scheme) using CYCLONE-based simulation modeling and analysis technique. Since uncertainty of construction environment exists, a thoughtful production planning is required to effectively deal with a risk resulting in schedule delay in advance. This study presents the concepts of a time delay occurred in a process level and operation level in a operation model, and a method of measuring gap-times in each level while the simulation progresses. It helps a site manager to decide how many segmentation in a construction block is suitable for eliminating unproductive time-delays under the constrained resources (e.g., laborer, equipment). A case study presents a network model representing a three segmented RC frame work, and result obtained from the simulation experiment.
