In some respects this reputation is  undeserved by an industry that in reality is often  flexible and remarkably innovative.  Construction  companies were among the first to make wide scale  use of the computer bureaux services of the 1960''s  and were early adopters of modern communications  technology such as the mobile phone. However, in the  area of electronic data collection for process  control and quality assurance the constructinon  industry has certainly not reaped the same benefits  that manufacturing industry has. There a number of  reasons for this, not least the manor in which the  construction industry is organised and operates and  the nature of the construction site itself. This  work considers these issues and looks at ways in  which particularly small to medium sized contractors  may overcome them and successfully leverage  manufacturing-style information technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838375458\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLessons in Applying Information Technology to the Construction Industry with Examples from a  Leading UK Piling Company\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838375458","offer_id":39498962927709,"sku":"9783838375458","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/172ab3ed-8be4-4cf0-b457-8b0f6db30034.jpg?v=1759295825","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/facilitating-the-application-of-information-technology-in-construction-von-jason-scott","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
