Engineering design journey and project management
Authors: O. Lawanto; Matthew Cromwell; A. Febrian
Year: 2015

This article discusses students' self- and co-regulation during their engagement in a senior design project. The specific focus of this study was to understand how participants monitor their design process and manage their projects with their teammates. Fourteen students working in four different teams participated in the study, each of which were in their senior year of Biological Engineering courses. The study attempts to answer two research questions: (1) How did students individually monitor the progress of their team-based design project?; and (2) How did their teamwork factor into the completion of the design project? Quantitative and qualitative data associated with student regulation on design process and teamwork were collected from our Engineering Design Metacognitive Questionnaire (EDMQ) survey instrument, an innovative e-journal, students' journey maps, design artifacts, and interviews. The preliminary findings suggest that (1) despite distinctive challenges in managing their team, each found ways to adapt to their team's unique dynamic; (2) teams that believed in a “fair share” task division seemed to utilize better team monitoring strategies; and (3) a design evaluation checklist to refine the number of possible design solutions was not widely used during the problem framing phase.

Authors: Maryanne Mweru Lenjo
Year: 2018

The aim of the study was to examine the drivers of sustainability of youth empowerment projects in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. The study would benefit the youths, the government agencies implementing youth funding and other stakeholders who also provide funds to the youth. The study targeted Taita Taveta County because of the low sustainability of the youth funded projects for example in terms of the rate of loan repayments as funded by the Youth Enterprise Fund in the year 2014/2015 financial year in comparison with the other counties in the country. There were 162 youth empowerment projects which had been established in the county for the last 10 years and majority of them have collapsed. The study used a structured self-administered questionnaire to collect data from the project managers. On the other hand; secondary data was obtained from published documents such as journals, periodicals, magazines and reports to supplement the primary data. A pilot study was conducted to pretest the validity and reliability of instruments for data collection. The collected data was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods by the use of SPSS. The study further adopted regression analysis to determine the relationship among the variables at 5% level of significance. The regression model of sustainability of youth empowerment projects coefficient of determination R Square was 0.640 and R was 0.800. The coefficient of determination R Square indicated that 64%.00% of the variation sustainability of youth empowerment projects could be explained by the set of independent variables. The remaining 36.00% of variation in sustainability of youth empowerment projects could be explained by other variables not included in this model. This indicated that project planning, project funding, project management skills and monitoring and evaluation are important factors that need to be enhanced to boost sustainability of youth empowerment projects in the study area. The current study should therefore be expanded further as there is need to undertake similar research in other counties in Kenya in order to establish whether the explored factors can be generalized.

Incorporating sustainability concepts at all decision-making stages in the construction of residential buildings is essential to maximize benefits without compromising functionality. This study aimed to identify and analyze the obstacles hindering the application of Agile Project Management (APM) in residential construction projects. The research specifically addressed the following questions: What are the key barriers to APM adoption in Nigerian residential construction projects? How do these barriers impact the effectiveness of APM in promoting sustainability? A questionnaire survey was distributed to 120 construction professionals in Nigeria, capturing insights on APM challenges. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to categorize these obstacles into four main areas: social, economic, human factors, and culture and expectations. Subsequently, partial least squares-structural equation modeling was used to construct a model assessing the significance of these barriers. The findings revealed that economic factors, with a statistical significance coefficient of 0.516, are the most significant barriers to APM adoption. Social factors, cultural expectations, and human factors also play notable roles, though to a lesser extent. The outcomes provide valuable guidance for decision-makers in Nigeria’s construction sector, emphasizing the need for strategies that address economic constraints and foster greater adoption of APM practices to achieve cost reduction and enhanced sustainability.
The impact of legal regulations on investment project management in construction
Authors: Tomasz Szewc
Year: 2022

Introduction/background: The performance of construction work is a process in which the legislator deeply interferes by devoting to it not only a separate act but also by regulating construction issues in several other acts. The management literature does not pay sufficient attention to legal matters, even though that they conclude some traps for the investor or the manager. Aim of the paper: To indicate and explain the idea and the stages of a construction investment project in light of the law with attention to the risks involved for the investor or the manager. Materials and methods : Analysis of literature, laws, and judgments. Results and conclusions: Regulations deeply interfere with the construction process, forcing the execution of subsequent steps in a specific order. Furthermore, every effort needs to carry out some actions. At the same time, there is a risk of failure of the investment for legal reasons during its course despite fulfilling the requirements stipulated at earlier stages. For this reason, it is essential to plan the construction investment and the project manager has to have a legal culture greater than in the case of other projects.

Year: 2024

The current research explores the project outcomes in healthcare sector of Pakistan by assessing servant leadership and team dynamics in the context of Situational Strength Theory. This research model examines the effect of servant leadership on project success via intervention of team effectiveness. Moreover, it also incorporates the moderating impacts of team level variables; team autonomy and task ambiguity in these relationships. The data is gathered from practicing health care project team members of Pakistan. Hence, for data analysis the Statistical technique Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is employed. The findings indicate that project success is positively and significantly related with servant leadership. Servant leader increases the likelihood of project success and effectiveness directly at the team level. Mediation of team effectiveness between servant leadership and Project Success is also supported as the servant leadership practices nurtures the overall team process and foster team effectiveness. The moderation of task ambiguity is determined to be significant, while interestingly, that of team autonomy is found to be insignificant. The study also establishes the importance of servant leadership for evolving team effectiveness in project-based organizations for the achievement of project success. The results of this study are relevant for the advancement of project management practices, especially in the healthcare sector. This particular study offers practical recommendations to healthcare organizations with regard to successful implementations of effective leadership strategies that improve their team processes and enhance the attainment of desired outcomes for projects. The insights generated by this research add to the existing literature both in healthcare management and project management, fill a significant theoretical gap, and provide a basis for further studies on the role of leadership in complex settings where project organizations are involved.
Identification of leading engineering performance drivers by a systems model
Authors: Benedict Pflaum; Marion A. Weissenberger-Eibl
Year: 2016

This paper aims to identify efficiency and effectiveness drivers that are associated with high performance in new product development (NPD). A methodology is presented that frames performance drivers by a systems model. It thereby outlines that leading indicators are needed to assess the product development process in a proactive manner. A systematic 5-step approach is described of how to find and develop appropriate performance measures. In a first step the systems architecture is developed by applying content analysis as a synthesis of a literature review from the fields of performance measurement, NPD success factors and project management. As a result, critical success factors from 20 publications could be clustered to 9 performance dimensions and 20 performance categories. All identified performance categories could be mapped within the developed systems model. The suggested systems model provides the necessary theoretical foundations for developing appropriate leading indicators.
Economic analysis of RFID investments for construction project management using ANFIS
Authors: Thoedtida Thipparate
Year: 2013

Radio frequency identification RFID technology introduces the opportunity for increased visibility by facilitating easy tracking and identifying of goods, assets and even living things. The number of RFID applications and users in various fields are growing such as retail, electronic transaction, logistic and supply chain management, scientific research, security, etc. However, a widespread application of RFID in the construction industry has not taken place. High investment cost and inadequate technical capability still remain as challenges for RFID system implementations in the construction industry. Thus, the success of RFID projects is based on the evaluation of savings associated with increasing performance and investment. In this study, a systematic framework for the economic analysis for RFID investment is proposed. In this method, the elements of cost and benefits are determined in order to measure the value of an RFID investment. The expected increase of customer order is determined in terms of delivery accuracy and delivery time via a fuzzy rule-based system. The Monte-Carlo simulation method is used to determine the input values for testing the developed model. A case study is constructed on the basis of expert conception to illustrate the proposed method.
Project Management Maturity: Case study analysis using OPM3® model in manufacturing industry
Authors: R. Silva; N. Duarte; T. Barros; G. Fernandes
Year: 2019

This research analyses the degree of maturity of project management practices. The study object were the organizations that develop their main activity in manufacturing machines for the mining and quarrying and construction industries, in the region of Tâmega e Sousa (Portugal). The theoretical background is the Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®). The methodological approach adopted was case study research (multiple case study). The results give us cues to believe that the degree of maturity of this industry is very low. The three companies analysed revealed levels of maturity around 15%. The reasons behind the low level of maturity are related with the lack of adoption of organizational enablers and the low level use of project management practices: 48% of project management processes are not used, and 28% are classified into an ad-hoc stage. In a management context this research can be a starting point to improve project management in organizations. Yet, one can conclude that these organizations develop their daily operations within a project management perspective but this is not recognized by them. Even identifying processes that are part of recognized good project management practices, these organizations score for a relatively low maturity level. This research brought important practical contributions, by raising at least awareness of the project management value in the organizations studied.

Optimizing Project Time and Cost Prediction Using a Hybrid XGBoost and Simulated Annealing Algorithm
Authors: Ali Akbar ForouzeshNejad; Farzad Arabikhan; Shohin Aheleroff
Year: 2024

Machine learning technologies have recently emerged as transformative tools for enhancing project management accuracy and efficiency. This study introduces a data-driven model that leverages the hybrid eXtreme Gradient Boosting-Simulated Annealing (XGBoost-SA) algorithm to predict the time and cost of construction projects. By accounting for the complexity of activity networks and uncertainties within project environments, the model aims to address key challenges in project forecasting. Unlike traditional methods such as Earned Value Management (EVM) and Earned Schedule Method (ESM), which rely on static metrics, the XGBoost-SA model adapts dynamically to project data, achieving 92% prediction accuracy. This advanced model offers a more precise forecasting approach by incorporating and optimizing features from historical data. Results reveal that XGBoost-SA reduces cost prediction error by nearly 50% and time prediction error by approximately 80% compared to EVM and ESM, underscoring its effectiveness in complex scenarios. Furthermore, the model’s ability to manage limited and evolving data offers a practical solution for real-time adjustments in project planning. With these capabilities, XGBoost-SA provides project managers with a powerful tool for informed decision-making, efficient resource allocation, and proactive risk management, making it highly applicable to complex construction projects where precision and adaptability are essential. The main limitation of the developed model in this study is the reliance on data from similar projects, which necessitates additional data for application to other industries.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have documented poor rates of delivery of preventive services, 1 of the core services provided in the primary care medical home setting. We aimed to increase the reliability of delivering a bundle of preventive services to patients 0 to 14 months of age from 58% of patient visits to 95% of visits. The bundle includes administration of routine vaccinations, offering influenza vaccination, completed lead screening, completed developmental screening tool, screening for maternal depression and food insecurity, and documentation of gestational age. METHODS: The setting was 3 academic pediatric primary care clinics that serve 31 000 patients (>90% Medicaid). Quality improvement methodology was used and key driver diagram was determined. Patient “Ideal Visit Flow” and the Responsible, Accountable, Support, Consulted, and Informed Matrix were developed to drive accountability for components of the ideal flow. Plan, Do, Study, Act cycles were used to develop successful interventions. The percent of patients seen who received all bundle elements for which they were eligible was plotted weekly on a run chart, and statistical process control methods were used to determine a significant change in performance. RESULTS: The preintervention percentage of patient visits ages 0 to 14 months receiving all preventive service bundle elements was 58%. The postintervention percentage is 92%. CONCLUSIONS: Innovative redesign led to improvement in percentage of patients age 0 to 14 months who received the entire preventive services bundle. Key elements for success were multidisciplinary site-specific teams, redesigned visit flow, effective communication, and resources for data and project management.

The terrestrial digital video broadcast (DVB-T) system, specified in the ETSI 300–744 standard, is currently the most popular digital television system with more than 120 million receivers deployed globally in integrated television sets, set-top boxes, in-car modules, universal serial bus (USB) sticks, and personal computer (PC) cards. A provider of multimedia application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in Asia required a DVB-T demodulation core as part of its strategy to broaden its stake in this growing market. To meet this challenge, Bell Labs partnered with Cambridge Industries Group, China, to form an international team to design and implement the underlying multimode orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)–based receiver. This paper presents insight into the essential elements of the system design, the design methodology, and project management and describes the underlying signal processing algorithms, the bit accurate model, and register transfer level code. It is demonstrated how close collaboration between Bell Labs and selected global partners can yield added value to Alcatel-Lucent. © 2007 Alcatel-Lucent.
