- © 2017 The Author(s) The main challenge facing this research is the selection of a correct methodology to evaluate the productivity of work activities in an industry where the work is not repetitive and the common techniques of its analysis cannot be used. The goal is to improve the management of construction projects and their associated costs in order to make the resources available to them more efficient and effective and improve productivity. Two Mexican companies were evaluated for a period of two years and the data was processed with the application of the Integrated Control Chart and more homogeneous operations were obtained within the construction sector, thus reducing the special causes of variation and counteracting the variability that characterizes this process. Standardization (concluding stage), is a tool that will help the company to raise its productivity levels.
