MapReduce System Productivity Modeling and Measurement

Highway Construction Productivity Measurement with a Wireless Real-Time Productivity Measurement System

Because the quantity of work is relatively easy to estimate accurately by using printed drawings or computer-assisted drafting system and specifications, the accuracy of the duration depends largely on the accuracy of construction productivity. It is not difficult to understand why a scheduler without accurate productivity data is unable to produce a reliable cpm schedule. In summary, poor prod...

Modeling and optimizing MapReduce programs

MapReduce frameworks allow programmers to write distributed, dataparallel programs that operate on multisets. These frameworks offer considerable flexibility to support various kinds of programs and data. To understand the essence of the programming model better and to provide a rigorous foundation for optimizations, we present an abstract, functional model of MapReduce along with a number of c...

The productivity measurement and enhancement system: a meta-analysis.

Meta-analytic procedures were used to examine data from 83 field studies of the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System (ProMES). The article expands the evidence on effectiveness of the intervention, examines where it has been successful, and explores moderators related to its success. Four research questions were explored and results indicate that (a) ProMES results in large improveme...

DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

The purpose of this research is to present an alternative approach for measuring productivity in manufacturing companies. To achieve the research objective, an in depth investigation on the existing productivity measurement and analysis practices of a case manufacturing company has been carried out through both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The investigation result has shown that the...
