ANALYSIS OF CAUSES, EFFECTS AND IMPACTS OF SKILLS SHORTAGE FOR SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION THROUGH ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS

Abstract

The lack of skilled artisan is a big problem for the construction industry in India. The disadvantage is the consequence of the lack of a structured training program focused on skills within the country's education system. Furthermore, the industry thinks that workers must learn while they work. The performance of artisan is one of the key aspects of productivity that requires adequate attention to the efficient implementation of projects in the construction sector.Improving the skill, efficiency is the most difficult problem in both developed and developing countries. Construction projects are affected by many problems, such as costs, time, quality, safety, etc. Today, the competitive environment of construction forces in construction companies to increase their productivity values to maintain their position in the sector. Therefore, the identification and analysis of the factors that influence the lack of skills in construction becomes a crucial issue.

This research aims to identify the factors that influence the lack of skills in construction. The questionnaire was designed based on the research method that will be used after the analysis of the literature and the identification of various factors that influence the lack of skills in construction.Data Analysis through excel software has been carried out. Also, all the factors affecting the skill shortage were classified using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Analysis has been carried out by the pairwise comparison of each factor and criteria for the overall response from stakeholders. After analyzing the data in the questionnaire, the rank was assigned based on the relative importance.
