Moore, D R (1997) An examination of the experimental design process with regard to tolerance requirement general theory. In: Stephenson, P (ed.) Proceedings of 13th Annual ARCOM Conference, 15-17 September 1997, Cambridge, UK.
Abstract
The paper considers the development process for experimental work intended to provide an initial evaluation of the role of tolerance requirement general theory as a factor in the automated assessment of task difficulty as a component of buildability. The nature of general tolerance requirement theory is discussed. This initial research proposes six individual tolerance requirements, each with a different function within the general theory. Analysis of data from the completed experiments may cause this number to be revised as the hypothesis of a link existing between tolerance requirements and time taken to complete a task is tested.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
