The purpose of this paper is to quantify the impact of employee absenteeism risk on the probabilistic lead time of a construction project. Calculations of employee absenteeism risk values were performed using data from the Central Statistical Office (Big Data). Probabilistic schedules with probability density functions (Normal, Exponential, Reyleigh, Triangle, Gamma, Cauchy) with and without calculated employee absenteeism risk were prepared. Student’s t-test and MAPE analysis of mean absolute percentage errors were performed to determine differences between groups. It was found that with respect to the probability of completing the task in the range of 75 to 95% for all functions, an unacceptable MAPE error of 32.82% to 69.23% arises. Therefore, the authors postulate that the risk of worker absenteeism should be considered in every construction process when performing probabilistic scheduling, i.e., in the Building Information Modeling BIM methodology.}, type={Article}, title={The possible impact of employee absenteeism risk on a construction project}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125664/PDF/art02_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2022.143024}, keywords={absenteeism, BIM, construction process, risk, time}, }
