Abstract
The focus of the paper is to present the processes in formulating a system of performance indicators to evaluate the implementation of the National Construction Industry Automation Plan in the Republic of China. We approach the formulation as a 'construction automation transformation system' which consists of three major components: (1) the inputs, such as funding, manpower and supports, (2) the sub-systems, and (3) the outputs. There are three sub-systems as defined: the processing sub-systems, the receiving sub-system and the socioeconomic sub-system. Corresponding to each sub-system, a set of output performance indicators is developed. Program output performance indicators are proposed to measure the effectiveness of the processing sub-system. The industry effectiveness performance indicators and the national welfare indicators are recommended to measure the effectiveness of the receiving sub-systems and the socio-economic sub-system respectively.

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
