Standard Critical Path and Selection of Most Economic and Quality Contractors for Construction of Thermal Power Plant: A Case Study in NTPC
Authors: D. Choudhury
Year: 2019

In India, most of the thermal power plants were built by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Ltd and different state electricity boards. The thumb rule indicates that out of the total project construction cost, 70 per cent goes to the cost of project materials, while 30 per cent goes to the cost construction work which leads us to select the most competitive material suppliers and construction contractors. The objectives of this research work are (a) to select a contractor based on cost economy, (b) to find out the standard critical path for constructing a thermal power plant, and (c) to identify the critical activities in constructing a 500 MW thermal power plant. Through literature review, six important factors were identified to judge the quality of the contractor before awarding the contract. In project management, the selection of contractor on the basis of probability of their performance comes within the purview of decision under risk, and hence decision tree has been used as a methodology for the selection of contractor. For computing the critical path, the project network for the construction of the thermal power plant was constructed. The five thermal power projects of NTPC—NTPC Korba, NTPC Talcher, NTPC Rihand, NTPC Sipat, and NTPC Simhadri—were considered, and the construction data of these five projects were used to compute the critical path. Since the completion data of different activities of five projects at different geographical locations with different climates, different site conditions, and different conglomerate of workers were used, so the critical path estimated was accepted as the standard critical path.

Authors: Lee Tsu Yian; Faridahanim Ahmad; M. Sarijari
Year: 2023

The application of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) systems for labour tracking on construction sites is a popular research trend. Strategic system deployment is crucial for ensuring the overall reliability and feasibility of these systems. This study aims to identify the optimal BLE system deployment strategy for tiling work zones in three different renovation sites. The BLE system consists of BLE beacon, BLE gateway, Raspberry Pi (data logger), and MATLAB for data analysis. To ensure optimal placement of the BLE gateway, site visits were conducted to evaluate various conditions, such as power supply availability, signal blockage by structures, and potential disruption to the tiling work. In addition, the beacon transmission (Tx) levels were adjusted to enhance the detection accuracy of the system. The findings show that the optimum beacon Tx powers at sites A, B, and C are -12dBm (86.3% accuracy), -16dBm (94.6% accuracy), and -16dBm (91.1% accuracy), respectively. These findings will be adopted in future research on these sites.  The study contributes to the understanding of optimal BLE system deployment strategies in construction sites, which can improve labour tracking accuracy and overall project management.

Introduction: Delays in case-based surveillance are a significant obstacle to eliminating malaria. This study aims to optimise the current electronic malaria information system (eMIS), which uses an eMIS android-based mobile. Method: Qualitative research was conducted in the Lahat District, South Sumatra Province. We select informants directly involved in, or playing a role in, malaria control activities, such as program managers at community health centres (Puskemas) and health services. The system is built using the Framework for the Application of Systems Techniques (FAST), a structured method for analysing complex systems. It helps professionals break down problems, uncover hidden relationships, and make better decisions. FAST is widely used in engineering, project management, and business process optimisation to tackle complex challenges and improve problem-solving. Results: The paper revealed suggestions for designing and optimising the current eMIS. One recommended method for overcoming the obstacles is to optimise an eMIS Android-based mobile for malaria reporting. Eight key informants participated in the interviews. The main obstacles by key informants are the free time available for giving deep information and annoyance from outside during interviews due to their other activities. Hence, the researchers made appointments with informants and interviewed in a particular room, not the informant’s office. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that eMIS android-based mobile is a better refinement of the current eMIS based on PC to support malaria surveillance for malaria elimination programs in an endemic area. Data entry with an eMIS android-based mobile is faster, more accurate, and allows real-time collaboration, outperforming sheet applications.

Authors: D. Adair; M. Jaeger
Year: 2014

Rapid advancement in technology leading to re-structuring of undergraduate engineering curricula, necessitate interdisciplinary capstone projects as part of an engineering teaching and learning programme. Proper management of such projects requires collaboration from both students and faculty from the involved disciplines and a willingness by students to learn from, and about, engineering disciplines not theirs. It should also be the case that interdisciplinary projects will enhance and expand students' problem solving, creative thinking skills and project management skills, and attune them to working with other disciplines in their future professional careers. The case study here concerns the development of a prototype lithium-ion battery pack capable of thermal management. Collaboration is between mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering students and faculty and mathematics and computer science faculty. The paper presents suggestions and reflections on how the foregoing issues are addressed.

In carrying out construction projects, the competence of a project manager is always debated by civil engineering practitioners, because the project manager is very important and a key factor in achieving successful project implementation. Therefore, a project manager must have the appropriate competencies to lead the implementation of construction projects. Existing competency research has been identified from various global competency sources, such as IPMA Competency Base Line (ICB), APM Competency Framework (ACF), and Project Management Competency Development (PMCD). When looking at it as a whole, their competencies have a lot in common with the competencies in PMCD. There are three main groups of PMCD competencies namely: Knowledge Competence, Technical Competence, and Personal Competence. This research examines previous research articles related to project manager competencies for successful projects. This research was randomized to global research since 5 years ago, starting from 2018 to 2022. This paper reviews the competencies strictly to determine the dominant project manager competencies that are widely used in the implementation of construction projects. This research examines and determines the appropriate factors sequentially in the three competency groups for project success. This study produces the most dominant competency factors and is widely used by project managers to be successful in handling construction projects.

From the Absorptive Capacity of Middle Managers and Their Employees to the Commitment in the Implementation of New Work Routines
Authors: Nancie Chevrette; Eric Jean
Year: 2023

The objective of this proposal is to present a theoretical reflection on the concept of projects absorptive (absorption) capacity and the role of managers’ and employees’ commitment in the implementation of work routines. The general problem lies in a context of simultaneous project implementation, which can create additional pressure on employees with regard to available resources. The development of a theoretical framework, highlighting project implementation demands, absorptive capacity, routines and commitment, thus leads to the proposal of a three stage conceptual framework. The first moment represents the project during its implementation. The second moment specifically concerns absorptive capacity as a resource and the final moment highlights the relationship between absorptive capacity and commitment. Ultimately, this theoretical approach attempts to demonstrate that examining the project’s absorptive capacity reveals a significant theoretical originality, and that digging deeper into the concepts of commitment and work routines pushes the limits of project management research.

Authors: Daniel Simon; Regina Reicher
Year: 2025

The increasing complexity of modern aircraft maintenance and strict safety regulations of the sector underscore an emerging trend of implementing project management practices in maintenance, repair, and operations facilities (Junqueira, 2020; Freitas, 2020). This case study examines a German aircraft maintenance facility employing hybrid project management methodologies. It reveals how the lack of communication between parallel-running projects, combined with inadequate sustained risk management, results in unoptimized resource allocation, unforeseen disruptions, and considerable delays, thereby hindering project success. This research employs a case study approach, utilizing qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews and a six-week observation period. Analyzed through thematic coding and compared against an established theoretical project management framework, the findings underscore the significant impact of insufficient inter-project communication and risk management. The study highlights the necessity for a project management office (PMO) to harmonize parallel project executions, enhance inter-project communication, and ensure continuous risk management. Providing unique insights into the operations of a German maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility, this research offers practical guidance for similar environments, contributing to the otherwise limited literature on project management in aircraft maintenance facilities.
