Abstract

Reasons for the occurrence of the non-uniformity of production processes in construction and an outline of a formal approach that makes use of the theory of stochastic processes and statistics have been given. Attention has been drawn to the necessary and satisfactory conditions for balancing these processes. The distinction between the distribution of work time and the distribution of production volume (characterized by opposite skewness) has been introduced. A few cases of diminishing the non-uniformity have been given; the existence of mutual relations between the intensity of processes, concentration (superposition) of the processes and their nonuniformity have been used for that purpose. Examples of a superposition of processes (as a case of concentration of production) have been taken from the production and deliveries of concrete mixture. Attention has been drawn to savings resulting from such actions. These savings often require only simple technical or organizational operations.
