A system approach  was used to collect data from ten high rise building  projects around t he central area of Bangkok dividing into  three levels. Three different methods of analysis were done  separately to define problem areas of each level .  Results of the analysis showed that most of the projects  in the region lagged behind their schedule du e to material  shortages, man-power shortages and mismanagements.  Efficiencies of the workmanship in various activities of  various projects were low. Foundation works were more  sensitive than superstructure works from materials handling  point of view.  Finally, guide lines of material s handling policy have  been proposed to apply in the Bangkok area. 0aTall buildingsxThailandxBangkok 0aMaterials handling1 aVarma, Mahesh, eChairperson0 aPichai Nimityongskul,eExamination Committee1 aJearkjirm, Vithool, eExamintion Committee2 aAsian Development Bank, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
