A Research Study on How Project Management Can Help Improve Lean Six Sigma: A Proposed Approach
Authors: B. Galli
Year: 2018

Today, project managers are challenged with improving efficiency and overall productivity while working on certain tasks. They must be flexible and understand how to use tools and methods to improve results. While Lean Six Sigma (LSS) provides an overall data driven process to detect and improve system defects, project management has tools to evaluate and create a defined plan and manage a project. This article examines LSS alongside Project Management. It breaks down Six Sigma's DMAIC process, and shows incorporate both LSS and project management tools. If LSS only focuses on minimizing defects, then time management, cost reduction, and overall project planning must be incorporated to achieve successful project completion. This research demonstrates how that is possible. Finally, the research answers a key question: Can project management benefit LSS?

This study examined the impact of social media-supported small-group communication on the marketing skills of art entrepreneurs. The design that was used in this study was quasi-experimental. A total of 271 art entrepreneurs were sampled for the study and grouped into three social media ( n = 90), face-to-face ( n = 90) and control group ( n = 91). A structured questionnaire was used for the collection of data for the study, while data were analysed using multiple analyses of variance. The study showed that small group communication was effective in improving the marketing skills of art entrepreneurs in the areas of social media marketing, content management, data analysis, mobile advertising, design, video marketing, project management, creativity, interpersonal skills, leadership, time management, problem-solving, critical thinking and communication skills. The study also found that small-group communication on social media can be as effective as face-to-face small-group communication. Improving marketing skills also improves business performance in areas such as sales, return on investment, and net profit. Finally, art entrepreneurs in the social media-supported group had higher scores in satisfaction, convenience and quality of communication than their counterparts in face-to-face communication. This study has shown that social media-supported small-group communication is cost-effective in promoting the acquisition of marketing skills among art entrepreneurs.

Despite following standard practices of well-known project management methodologies, some projects fail to achieve expected results, incurring unexplained cost overruns or delays. These problems occur regardless of the type of project, the environment, or the project manager’s experience and are characteristic of complex projects. Such projects require special control using a multidimensional network approach that includes contractual aspects, supply and resource considerations, and information exchange between stakeholders. By modelling project elements as nodes and their interrelations as links within a network, we can analyze how components evolve and influence each other, a phenomenon known as coevolution. This network analysis allows us to observe not only the evolution of individual nodes but also the impact of their interrelations on the overall dynamics of the project. Two metrics are proposed to address the inherent complexity of these projects: one to assess Structural Complexity (SC) and the other to measure Dynamic Complexity (DC). These metrics are based on Boonstra and Reezigt’s studies on the dimensions and domains of complex projects. These two metrics have been combined to create a Global Complexity Index (GCI) for measuring project complexity under uncertainty using fuzzy logic. These concepts are applied to a case of study, the construction of a wastewater treatment plant, a complex project due to the intense interrelations, the integration of new technologies that require R&D, and its location next to a natural park. The application of the GCI allows constant monitoring of dynamic complexity, thus providing a tool for risk anticipation and decision support. Also, the integration of fuzzy logic in the model facilitates the incorporation of imprecise or partially defined information. It makes it possible to deal efficiently with the dynamic variation of complexity parameters in the project, adapting to the inherent uncertainties of the environment.

Year: 2017

Recent developments in science and technology have resulted in many advances in our daily lives and societal conditions. These developments led to increasingly complex engineering systems that tackle a wide range of societal needs. However, these also demand a broader skill-set for each engineer working with these systems and his/her training must span a greater range than that available in conventional engineering curricula. In order to deal with complex engineering systems, an engineer needs to have a good grasp of various technical fields such as computing, electrical, and mechanical engineering as well as competence in soft skills and systems thinking skills. This paper presents our multidisciplinary and project-based approach to impart these skills to our engineering students. The module consists primarily of conceive, design, implement and operate (CDIO) elements and aims to link diverse fields of engineering as well as developing the soft skills and systems thinking skills of our students. It is a year-long component of our Diploma in Engineering Systems course and it is offered in the second year of the curriculum in order to invoke these skills earlier in each student's professional life. The design and implementation process in this module integrates various fields and skill-sets, giving students a realistic experience in dealing with engineering systems. Before embarking on this module, students have already gained plenty of hands-on experience and project management skills through other project based modules such as Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Prototyping in their first year. This paper will present details of this module and its implementation together with our preliminary evaluations and observations.

Authors: Pedro Letra; A. C. Paiva; Nuno H. Flores
Year: 2015

Software engineering is an area with a wide range of concepts and knowledge. To this diversity of topics, you may need to apply different teaching and learning techniques to be effective. One such technique is the use of serious games, but the design of such games tends to be complex, currently lacking a map of game design standards that comply with the Software Engineering education requirements. This paper presents the process to identify the game design patterns that can be effective for teaching software engineering, specifically the software project management topic. The process begins by identifying the relationship between game design patterns and teaching and learning functions based on literature review. Then the work follows establishing a relationship between teaching and learning functions and software project management education through questionnaires made to software engineering teachers. Finally, it sets up the relationship between game design patterns and software project management education through an empirical study conducted with master students. These results can be used as a basis for designing and developing serious games for teaching software project management.

Year: 2024

This study examines the integration of sustainability principles into project management through three key dimensions: environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The research objectives are to: (1) analyze the implementation challenges of sustainable practices in project management; (2) evaluate the impact of climate change on project outcomes; and (3) assess the role of technological innovation in advancing sustainable project management. Using a mixed-methods approach combining systematic literature review and case study analysis of 50 global organizations, this study reveals that sustainable project management practices lead to improved project outcomes and organizational performance. Key findings indicate a 35% reduction in project-related emissions through integrated sustainability frameworks, 40% cost savings through renewable energy adoption, and enhanced stakeholder engagement through transparent ESG reporting. We conclude that organizations must embed sustainability at the project conception phase rather than as an afterthought. Future research should focus on developing standardized metrics for measuring project sustainability impacts and investigating the scalability of sustainable practices across different industries.

Loosely coupled visualization of industrial construction simulation using a gaming engine
Authors: A. ElNimr; Y. Mohamed
Year: 2011

The use of simulation in construction project management is not widely adopted. Effective and intuitive tools and techniques to communicate simulation models with industry practitioners are needed. Visualization of simulation behaviors using three dimensional virtual worlds of the simulated construction operations is an effective medium of communication. However, developing visual behaviors to reflect hidden simulation behaviors is time consuming. The relatively small time window available for developing and using simulation models on real construction operations requires a time and cost effective approach for developing simulation driven visualization. This paper describes an approach that utilizes an open source gaming engine to develop parallel and loosely coupled simulation-driven visualizations of industrial construction operations in a distributed simulation environment. The paper focuses mainly on the development pipeline in a step-by-step approach to document and facilitate application of the same approach in similar simulations.

Guest Editorial: Designing and Developing Smart Cognitive Systems: Implementation Lessons from the Real World
Authors: E. Szczerbicki; C. Orłowski
Year: 2014

Cognitive systems are often defined as the set of know-hows that uses language processing and machine learning to enable people and machines to interact more naturally to enhance human expertise and cognition. These systems learn from experience and interact to provide expert assistance to scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals in a fraction of the time it now takes. These new technologies move us toward developing effective approaches for problem solving and decision making, approaches and platforms that can deal with complex and illstructured real-life situations, function in information-rich environments, cope with imprecise information, and systems that can rely on their knowledge accumulated through experience; that is, smart cognitive systems. One of the most challenging, and if successful also the most rewarding, efforts in this drive toward a brave new world of knowledge and experience based cognition is to put our ideas into action in real-life implementations. The carefully selected papers of this Guest Edition of Cybernetics and Systems represent a sample of such effort. The selected papers cover pilot developments and implementations in such diverse areas as medicine, rehabilitation, smart cities concept, real-life IT projects management, collaborative WorldNet development, the movie industry, and a set of engineering-related fields. The overall aim of this issue is to provide a collection of ideas and real-life case studies to explore and learn implementation lessons that can be useful in further future developments in this exciting area. This Guest Edition of Cybernetics and Systems contains carefully selected and peer-reviewed and expanded papers that were presented in 2013 at some leading knowledge, experience, and cognition-related international conferences in Europe and Asia.

Information C ommunication T echnology ( ICT ) industry is going through a bottleneck period and the low success rate of technical commercialization is exactly one of the most important reasons impeding ICT's development. Through data collection and analysis of three ICT enterprises in Guangzhou, 21 risk factors of ICT commercialization are identified with grounded theory and the three-level ICT commercialization risk factor model is established in the views of technical management, project management and dynamic capability. On the basis of the identified risk factors, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to evaluate the risk factors, and 10 key risk factors (TOP10) are selected. Finally, the structural relationship of TOP10 risk factors is analyzed with Interpretive Structural Modeling, and consequently an interpretive structural model of the key risk factors is constructed, and root risk factors are found. The research is aim to improve the success rate of ICT commercialization.
A review of drivers and barriers of Digital Twin adoption in building project development processes
Authors: Muhammad Farhan Jahangir; Carl Schultz; A. Kamari
Year: 2024

Over the past few years, the AECO Industry has undergone a shift toward digital transformation, with a growing trend towards adopting innovative technologies such as Digital Twin (DT). DT offers a wide range of applications throughout the building development process. However, some specific factors impede its widespread adoption in the building industry. This study aims to systematically review the available literature on the building project development process from the perspective of DT, with a particular focus on predictive simulations, i.e., co-sims. The review provides a comprehensive overview of drivers and barriers to DT adoption through an analysis of 147 studies between 2013 and 2023. The research identifies seven external and 41 internal drivers, including efficient project management and monitoring, predictive maintenance, and the collection and visualization of real-time data, all of which contribute to improved decision-making processes and reduced operational expenses. Further, the study identifies nine external and 31 internal barriers that impede the adoption of DT in the building development process. These barriers encompass challenges such as a high initial investment cost, a scarcity of a skilled workforce, difficulties in data interoperability, and resistance to change within the organization. A key outcome of the literature review is having identified the opportunity to exploit technologies developed in the automotive sector that enable a seamless integration of specialized simulator models in building development processes, resulting in collaborative simulations. Thus, we propose the concept of a Building Simulation Identity Card (BSIC) to be pursued in future research that would enable stakeholders to address the challenges of collaboration, cooperation, coordination, and communication by creating a common vocabulary to effectively facilitate the adoption of DT in the building's development process.
