Identify the cause of claims on construction contracts in the West Papua Provincial Government Area
Authors: Adonia Pasinggi; Manlian Ronald A. Simanjuntak
Year: 2024

Along with the development of the construction service industry today, which is increasingly complex, construction service actors must carry out better project management so that the planned design can be realised properly. Before carrying out a construction project, the parties will agree on a legal basis in the form of a letter of agreement or a contract. In the execution of construction contracts, sometimes there are differences in interpretation and other things that can cause claims or claims. The formulation of the problem in this study is what are the potential risk factors of claims on construction contracts, what are the variables of potential claim risk on construction contracts, what are the variables of claims-forming models, what are the causes of risks in model-forming variables and what are the improvement recommendations produced in this study. The data collection method for this questionnaire was obtained by distributing the questionnaire three times. The results to be achieved in this study are to be able to determine the potential risks of what factors and variables can cause construction claims (first questionnaire), find out the variables of the claim-forming model (second questionnaire), and find out the causes of risk in the model-forming variables (third questionnaire). By knowing the level of influence of factors and variables, conclusions can be drawn about what needs to be anticipated in construction claims. Thus, appropriate recommendations are given to the West Papua Provincial Government to regulate the articles in the contract in more detail to minimise the potential for construction claims

Year: 2023

Building information modeling (BIM) has been widely used in the construction industry. By coordinating the collaboration of diverse construction participants, architectural design and project management has been improved efficiency. The application of BIM has been extended with the application of mobile robots in construction intelligence and automation. The abundance of precise geometric and semantic information provided by the BIM model could assist and even directly guide the robot to complete various tasks more precisely and productively. In this paper, We proposed a method to use BIM to deploy the robot system simply and efficiently for building progress monitoring. In our method, BIM is utilized not only to provide robots with environment geometric and semantic information but also generate detailed actions for construction tasks to guide robots to perform inspection. The results have proved that by our method, the robot system has quickly performed a independent navigation in the new environment and simultaneously update the progress information without exploring the map in advance.

Authors: Noel Hugo Binag
Year: 2020

The financial assistance under the Energy Regulations No. 1-94, as amended, of the Department of Energy (DOE) was created to further support the host local government units (LGUs)/regions over and above the various taxes received from the utilization and development of the national wealth within their respective areas as provided under Section 289-294 of the Local Government Code by the LGUs. Moreover, this provision is to secure the endorsements of the host LGUs/regions for the implementation of power projects in their area and in the long run will promote harmony and cooperation among host communities and people affected. The study is focused on evaluation of the financial assistance contributed by independent/private power producers in which energy generation facilities and/or energy resources are located in the province of Batangas, allocated among the social development programs, namely: Electrification Fund (EF); Development and Livelihood Fund (DLF); Reforestation, Watershed Management, Health and/or Environment Enhancement Fund (RWMHEEF). The descriptive-normative research design was used in this study.

Abstract Introduction Investigating how co‐designed knowledge can be translated to co‐produce a public health capacity‐building solution for difficult‐to‐engage population groups drawing on the co‐production experience of a prevention‐focused, capacity‐building mental health solution targeting primary producers. Design A qualitative study undertaken in rural and regional Victoria involving members of the design working group including project team (7px), digital design team (5px), marketing team (3px), and funding partner representatives. The study design involved reflective practice to collect data to identify the phases of co‐production and assess the design working group members' experiences. The analysis involved inductive coding using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis. Objective Identifying major points of divergence and/or convergence; enablers and/or constraints; and ways to better navigate and strengthen the co‐production process. Finding Given members of the design working group, diverse skills sets divergence was experienced in all co‐production phases. Divergence was also experienced between the project team and the funding partner given the uniqueness of working conditions and requirements of workers in the primary production industry. The project team applied an iterative development process to project management; encouraging iterative cycles to create/test/revise among the teams, and with the funding partner, until each was satisfied with the end result (convergence). Discussion & Conclusion When developing a co‐created public health prevention campaign it is critical that the project team focuses on relationship building among the members of the design working group and ensures adequate resourcing, development of shared understanding of project goals and target audience, ongoing communication, and a commitment to working iteratively.
Assessment of knowledge process capabilities toward project management maturity: an empirical study
Authors: Adnan Alghail; L. Yao; Mohammed Abbas; Yahia Baashar
Year: 2021


Purpose
The reasons behind the project management failure of higher education institutions (HEIs) have been researched for the past few years. One of the reasons is the lack of tools to integrate their knowledge process capabilities (KPC) with their project management (PM) to measure maturity by assessing these capabilities. Various project management maturity (PMM) models exist. Yet, there is a limited number of empirical studies that support the four integrations of KPC and PMM. Therefore, this study aims to propose a new heretical model, namely, KPC-knowledge management (KM) and evaluates a research model that includes the four KPC as an antecedent to PMM.


Design/methodology/approach
The suggested research model is assessed by using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Furthermore, the study's hypotheses were examined based on a sample of 352 respondents from the project management departments in 10 public universities in Yemen.


Findings
Analysis revealed that the derived PMM status could be benchmarked with the project management maturity model. Also, the study found that integrating the KPC into PM enables the institutions to perform critical tasks and value chain activities and enhance the PM maturity level as well. In contrast, if one of the capabilities does not positively impact PMM, it affects the maturity level of the entire project.


Research limitations/implications
The findings are obtained concerning data collected from public universities and represent the Yemeni context, limiting the generalization on a different geographical area. Also, this proposed model can be evaluated in a practical way like conducting a focus group, a set of interviews with specialists, a case study or action research. The qualitative research will help academics to validate our proposal for future research purposes.


Practical implications
The proposed approach may be adapted to the characteristics of organizations involved in projects as external performers (project-based organizations) and not just the HEIs projects. This study provides managers and policymakers with insights into assessing PMM and improving their organizational effectiveness when deciding which KPCs to focus on in the future.


Social implications
This study contributes to the current PM awareness in Yemen and facilitates its success using the knowledge processes capabilities in Yemen's HEIs. It encourages organizations to take this opportunity to revive the projects and achieve a maximum level of maturity.


Originality/value
This study provides new insights into two domains through the link between knowledge management and PM. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper is among the first to empirically study the impact of the four KPC toward PMM. It enriches the theoretical perspective of PM. Also, it contributes to the literature on the success factor of KPC, which can be considered to improve organizational performance.
2006 Graduate Student of the Year Paper Award Winner: Linking Project Management with Business Strategy
Authors: S. Srivannaboon
Year: 2006

Recognition of the strategic importance of project management in the corporate world is rapidly accelerating. One reason for this acceleration maybe a strong belief by business leaders that aligning project management with business strategy can significantly enhance the achievement of organizational goals, strategies, and performance. However, empirical literature that offers advice on how to achieve this alignment is scanty. Many companies are suffering from misaligned projects and a lack of a systematic approach to align project management with the business strategy. Although projects are the basic building blocks of organizational strategy in many companies, project management is not often recognized as a functional strategy and is rarely perceived as a business process, making the achievement of a project management/business strategy alignment even more difficult. This study addresses three aspects of an under-researched topic in the strategic management literature—aligning project management with business strategy. An empirically based theoretical framework was developed to highlight the impact of business strategy on project management (and vice-versa) and the mechanisms used to strengthen that alignment, whereas the alignment scores were calculated to quantitatively complement data from the field study. Multiple sources of data were utilized to triangulate emerging information for eight case studies covering nine projects in seven organizations (42 interviews).

Authors: Florence Karegi Kirema; Simon Njeri Ngacha
Year: 2023

Different oversight and implementation challenges have led to the failure of borehole projects in Meru County in the recent past, hence leading to the sourcing of extra funding and technical expertise to achieve the desired results. This research sought to assess the project Management committee’s effect on the performance of County Government funded boreholes in the Igembe North Sub- County of Meru County. The findings of this research will be of use to stakeholders such as National and devolved governments, NGOs, and other government agencies. In an aspect of the study methodology, a descriptive research design was adopted. The research targeted a population of 181 borehole committee members and a sample size of 100 drawn from 25 borehole committees across the five wards in the Igembe North sub-county. Data was gathered using research questionnaires and interview guides. Data analysis was guided by the use of SPSS for the calculation of frequencies, standard deviations, means as well as percentages. The study established that having and adhering to the constitution, membership of water management experts, the committee being reliable, and the link between the committee and community are moderate contributors to the performance of County Government funded boreholes in Igembe North Sub-County. Regarding the constitutional policy of project management committees, borehole management committees should ensure that they have a defined constitution in place to guide the selection of members and operations effectively. For enhanced outcomes of borehole projects, the study recommends training in advanced water management and monitoring and evaluation. This should be initiated by first developing training manuals for borehole management committees.

Mapping skills is important for software development organizations. Knowing the skills of the company practitioners helps the managers in making decisions to team building and to know what skills are necessary to development of projects. Identifying the adequate practitioner can contribute to good quality and minimize the time spent on the project. To optimize the process of team formation and management of competences, a software company carried out a process of mapping the skills of professionals in the area of software development. The process of identifying and organizing the competencies was carried out between the members of the development teams and the managers. From the mapping, we developed a tool that helped managers to have an overview of the company's competencies and facilitate the decisions making about which practitioners to allocate in each project, identify training needed to acquire competencies, and if was necessary contracting other practitioners. In addition, practitioners could gain insight into skills they could improve or acquire to fulfill certain roles within the company.

PurposeEntering a new era of digital transformation, Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) promises to revolutionize the way business has been done, providing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. This study aims to investigate empirically and comparatively analyse the benefits, challenges and critical success factors (CSFs) of Industry 4.0 across four continents and developing and developed economies.Design/methodology/approachThis study used an online survey to explore the benefits, challenges and CSFs of developed and developing economies. In order to ensure the validity of the survey, a pilot test was conducted with 10 respondents. A total of 149 participants with senior managerial, vice-presidential and directorial positions from developed and developing economies spanning four continents were invited to take part in the survey.FindingsThe study ranks benefits, challenges and CSFs across economies and continents. Further, the benefit of Industry 4.0 helping to achieve organizational efficiency and agility differed across the developing and developed economies. Furthermore, the benefit improves customer satisfaction significantly differed across continents; in terms of challenges, Employee resistance to change had a higher proportion in developing economies. The future viability of I 4.0 also differed across the continents. Regarding CSFs, there was no difference across the developing and developed economies. Finally, change management and project management vary across the continents.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to a balanced understanding of I 4.0 by providing empirical evidence for comparative analysis. Moreover, it extends the concept of resource dependence theory to explain how organizations in developing economies and developed economies deploy resources to manage external condition uncertainties to implement I 4.0. Furthermore, this study provides a structural framework to understand the specific benefits, challenges and CSFs of implementing I 4.0, which can be utilized by policymakers to promote I 4.0 in their economies or continents.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, no studies have empirically demonstrated the comparative analysis of benefits, challenges and CSFs across economies and continents and distinguish an original contribution of this work.

Authors: Adarsh Garg; Achintya Ghatak
Year: 2020

In a competitive business environment, project management aligned with the business strategy caters to the organisation goals. Researchers and practitioners are constantly probing into the possible enhancement of the existing approaches to manage projects. Though the relevant literature recommends numerous methodologies to enhance the achievement of project performance, yet the importance of power evacuation projects is still unnoticed and little has been done in this area. This research aims to develop a strategic layout using critical influence factors (CIFs) of power evacuation projects. A survey is carried out in 47 companies which are working on power evacuation projects. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant direct and indirect impact of the strategy, risk, contract, information technology (IT) and stakeholders on the project performance with respect to power evacuation projects.
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Agent-Based Modeling in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: S. Mazzetto
Year: 2024

This paper explores the transformative impact of agent-based modeling (ABM) on the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, highlighting its indispensable role in revolutionizing project management, construction processes, safety protocols, and sustainability initiatives including energy optimization and occupants’ comfort. Through an in-depth review of 178 documents published between 1970 and 2024 on current practices and the integration of ABM with emerging digital technologies, this study underscores the critical importance of ABM in facilitating enhanced decision-making, resource optimization, and complex system simulations. For instance, ABM is shown to reduce project delays by up to 15% through enhanced resource allocation and improve safety outcomes by simulating worker behavior and identifying potential hazards in dynamic construction environments. The results reveal ABM’s potential to significantly improve construction methodologies, integrate technological advancements seamlessly, and contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient building practices. Furthermore, this paper identifies key areas for future research, including the exploration of ABM’s capabilities in conjunction with other digital innovations to unlock new avenues for efficiency and sustainability in construction. This study sets out a forward-looking agenda for providing this modeling approach to address contemporary challenges and harness opportunities for innovation and growth in the AEC sector.

Evaluating the Implementation of the Complete Streets Policy in Louisiana: A Review of Practices and Projects in the Last 10 Years
Authors: Ruijie Bian; Tara Tolford
Year: 2022

The goal of Complete Streets is to accommodate all road users and draw attention to the needs of those who are vulnerable. In the last 10 years, thousands of local/regional/state agencies in the U.S.A. have adopted Complete Streets policies. However, it is not clear how successfully these policies have been implemented and to what extent agencies have achieved related policy goals. Responding to the call from Louisiana, the research team reviewed the state’s practices and projects over 10 years to evaluate whether/how the state transportation agency has made progress toward the adopted policy goals. Based on the practice review results, much progress has been made compared with where the state started in 2010. However, shifting agency culture to balance multimodal needs is a long-term process. Continuous effort is needed to train and educate staff in both the state agency and local governments. Based on the project review results, improving the state’s project management system could facilitate periodic performance reviews on a more frequent basis. From the perspective of influencing the built environment, more attention should be given to preservation projects to improve routine integration of low-cost safety measures and support decision-making on roadway reconfiguration needs. Although the review was conducted for Louisiana specifically, the review procedure and recommendations may be applicable to other states and government agencies facing challenges in Complete Streets policy implementation.
Distribution of the Activity Time in Network Analysis: A Critical Revisit with a Gamma Alternative
Authors: D. Roy; Rishideep Roy
Year: 2013

Network analysis is an important technique for project management. However, the current literature is biased toward beta distribution for modeling activity times. In this article, we have critically examined the role of beta distribution. It has been shown that beta distribution plays no specific role. Further, the method for calculating the chance of project completion must be revised. We have accordingly suggested an alternative modeling in terms of gamma distribution and proposed how to calculate the chance of project completion by taking into consideration both critical and noncritical paths. For demonstration purposes, we have considered a small project.
