DANISH EXPERIENCE FROM 10 YEARS OF PRODUCTIVITY DEVELOPMENT
af Sven Bertelsen og Jørgen Nielsen


Abstract
Over the last ten years a number of sector analyses and development programmes have been carried out in Denmark with an aim to increase productivity within the building sector. This has been undertaken in a continuous co-operation between the authorities, the research institutes and the industry itself.

The paper reviews this development and highlights positive as well as negative experience. From the review it appears that a systematic increase of productivity is possible. However, it is also apparent that there are barriers that have to be surmounted, if a successful change from craftsmanship into a modern industry shall take place. The experience gained is concluded in seven preconditions, which have to be fulfilled for a development programme to give permanent results.


Key words: productivity; development; re-engineering; Denmark; programme administration
