1. Quantifying change order impact on productivity by using ANN approach ECE 539 Project Presentation (Order: 316) Min-Jae Lee Construction Management Program Civil & Environmental Engineering Department University of Wisconsin - Madison

2. Research Background  Productivity loss (Delta:  ) happen  “Owner” & “Contractor” conflict ---Claims  We need “Models” developed by historical data Model 1: Was the project impacted by change orders or not Model 2: How much impacted by change orders Direct Field Labor Hours Construction Phase (% Complete) 0100 Estimate Base Change Delta  Total Actual Labor Hours (Base + Change) (Hanna et al. 1999a, 1999b)

3. Data Characteristics  140 case study from U.S. area [impacted(50) / unimpacted(50)]  Ask 70 Indicator factors related with change orders  Find “significant factors” by using Statistical method (20 factors, correlation test, significant test)
