1 EQUIPMENT PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY The study of productivity though started very early in the field of construction, it has still been one of the chronic problems confronting the organizations having their business in this mammoth industry. Today’s rapid economic development and stiff market competition has made experts take a close note of the revenue generation and profit before executing any project of national and international importance.

This paper aims to disseminate the results of the impact of foreign workers on employee productivity in 4-star and 5-star hotels in a tourist place named Interlaken in Switzerland. Hotel work is diverse and challenging at all levels, from front-line and housekeeping staff to senior management and migrant workers are represented in all areas of work within the sector across most developing and developed countries. The research paper makes a contribution in the area of research, in focussing on specifically
suggests the idea that profit reflects the productivity of capital is a false belief, yet it is one that generally underlies economic policy making in capitalist, free-market economies. Stanford attempts to illustrate this by detailing the role of tools in supporting productivity, by comparing tools to technology, or the technique of production (i.e. process) and then by making the link to capital and profits.

The idea of Occupational Safety and Health has gained the most attention, and many firms have implemented systems and processes to support an organization to protect, safe, and management
factors have specific importance in software development, it should not be overlooked in risk management process which may lead to improper assessment. So there is a need to identify and describe the human factors in an efficient manner to avoid the potential losses associated with the risk. In the following sections we are going to see the factors which
of international trade and industrial organizations. Two of the most important new features of the contemporary economy is the globalization of production and trade. Therefore, today’s technological systems are characterized by an orientation to productivity; this can be achieved through the apparel engineering which explains the Industrial Engineering activities in the production. Jim Lucas described the origin of Industrial Engineering (IE) wherein it can be traced back to the beginning of the Industrial
Ports play an important role in world trade and economy. The importance of ensuring efficiency in ports is strongly related to the ability of international maritime transport cost reduction. The definition of this construct quite broad and vary in perspective of researcher. Basically, port fficiency is the ability of port to operate/manage with a minimum amount of effort and have a desire result. Port efficiency have been define as an importance determinant of international maritime transport costs (Wilmsmier
