Rework in construction project is referred to as an unnecessary effort of redoing a process or activity that was incorrectly implemented in the first instance. In constructions, rework can result from an array of factors such errors, omissions, failures, changes, poor communication. In this paper, the significance of reducing rework and overrun cost due to rework has been arrived.

Rework occurs commonly in software development. This paper describes a simple rework example, namely the code refactoring process. We show that contextual information is central to supporting such rework, and we present an artifact provenance support approach that can help developers keep track of previous decisions to improve their effectiveness in rework.

In this paper we consider an imperfect production system which produces good and defective items and assume that defective items can be reworked. Due to the nature of rework process we do not restrict the rework rate to be equal to normal production rate or constant and assume that it is a random variable with an arbitrary distribution function. We also assume as it is true in most real world s...

“Avoidable rework” is effort spent fixing difficulties with the software that could have been avoided or discovered earlier and less expensively. This definition implies that there is such thing as “unavoidable rework”. Reducing “avoidable rework” is a major source of software productivity improvement and most effort savings from improving software processes, architectures and risk management a...

This paper presents a test, diagnosis, and rework analysis model for use in manufacturing process modeling. The approach includes a model of functional test operations characterized by fault coverage, false positives, and defects introduced in test, in addition to rework and diagnosis (diagnostic test) operations that have variable success rates and their own defect introduction mechanisms. The...

While it is widely recognized that additional costs due to rework can have an adverse effect on project performance, limited empirical research has been done to investigate the influencing factors. The research presented in this paper aims to determine the influence of different project types and procurement methods on rework costs in construction projects. Using a questionnaire survey, rework ...

Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and the environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on developing rework model, but few of them have developed model for deteriorating items. Due to t...

Rework adversely impacts the performance of building projects. In this study, data were analyzed from 788 construction incidents in 40 Spanish building projects to determine the influence of project and managerial characteristics on rework costs. Finally, regression analysis was used to understand the relationship between the contributing factors, and to determine a model for rework prediction....

OF THESIS A STUDY OF QUEING THOERY IN LOW TO HIGH REWORK ENVIRONMENTS WITH PROCESS AVAILABILITY In manufacturing systems subject to machine and operator resource constraints the effects of rework can be profound. High levels of rework burden the resources unnecessarily and as the utilization of these resources increases the expected queuing time of work in process increases exponentially. Queui...

W study how rework routing together with wage and piece-rate compensation can strengthen incentives for quality. Traditionally, rework is assigned back to the agent who generates the defect (in a self-routing scheme) or to another agent dedicated to rework (in a dedicated routing scheme). In contrast, a novel cross-routing scheme allocates rework to a parallel agent performing both new jobs and...
