    Abstract
    Fuzzy logic is a powerful problem-solving methodology that provides a remarkably simple way to draw definite conclusions from vague, ambiguous or imprecise information. This study is a review on the possibility of developing a tool to help site managers and planners in selecting the most suitable actions for construction productivity improvement in a complex construction site, using fuzzy logic theory. Improving productivity can have a large impact on the overall construction process and consequently result in significant time and cost savings, i.e. minimizing capital cost on the construction projects. Problems associated with productivity measurement such as "lack of a standard productivity...
