Ontology-Based Semantic Construction Image Interpretation
Authors: Yuan Zheng; Mustafa Khalid Masood; O. Seppänen; S. Törmä; Antti Aikala
Year: 2023

Image-based techniques have become integral to the construction sector, aiding in project planning, progress monitoring, quality control, and documentation. In this paper, we address two key challenges that limit our ability to fully exploit the potential of images. The first is the “semantic gap” between low-level image features and high-level semantic descriptions. The second is the lack of principled integration between images and other digital systems used in construction, such as construction schedules and building information modeling (BIM). These challenges make it difficult to effectively incorporate images into digital twins of construction (DTC), a critical concept that addresses the construction industry’s need for more efficient project management and decision-making. To address these challenges, we first propose an ontology-based construction image interpretation (CII) framework to formalize the interpretation and integration workflow. Then, the DiCon-SII ontology is developed to provide a formalized vocabulary for visual construction contents and features. DiCon-SII also acts as a bridge between images and other digital systems to help construct an image-involved DTC. To evaluate the practical application of DiCon-SII and CII in supporting construction management tasks and as a precursor to DTC, we conducted a case study involving drywall installation. Via this case study, we demonstrate how the proposed methods can be used to infer the operational stage of a construction process, estimate labor productivity, and retrieve specific images based on user queries.
Perceptions of Illegitimate Power in IT Projects
Authors: Sabine Matook; Fiona H. Rohde; Katharina Krell
Year: 2013

When IT projects are initiated because of personal benefits then the initiator acts contrary to the legitimate power of their organisational position. Due to their expertise and technical knowledge, IT managers may believe that during the initiation of an IT project power boundaries were crossed and hence, develop perceptions of power misuse, or as termed in the literature, perceptions of illegitimate power. Building on existing work in the area of organisational power and resistance, we examine the extent to which four factors (IT project complexity, IT project benefit creation ability, top management commitment, and formal project management) influence an IT manager's perceptions of illegitimate power in IT projects. Our empirical analysis confirmed that three of four factors affect per - ceptions of illegitimate power; only the hypothesis between formal project management and perceived illegitimate power was not significant. This paper contributes to IS research because it is an initial attempt to capture factors that trigger perceived illegitimate power. The research has practical implications because it demonstrates how illegitimate power perceptions emerge.
The Effects of Multitasking on Operations Scheduling
Authors: Nicholas G. Hall; J. Leung; Chung-Lun Li
Year: 2015

This study considers a typical scheduling environment that is influenced by the behavioral phenomenon of multitasking. Under multitasking, the processing of a selected job suffers from interruption by other jobs that are available but unfinished. This situation arises in a wide variety of applications; for example, administration, manufacturing, and process and project management. Several classical solution methods for scheduling problems no longer apply in the presence of multitasking. The solvability of any scheduling problem under multitasking is no easier than that of the corresponding classical problem. We develop optimal algorithms for some fundamental and practical single machine scheduling problems with multitasking. For other problems, we show that they are computationally intractable, even though in some cases the corresponding problem in classical scheduling is efficiently solvable. We also study the cost increase and value gained due to multitasking. This analysis informs companies about how much it would be worthwhile to invest in measures to reduce or encourage multitasking.

Authors: A. Petrillo; G. D. Bona; A. Forcina; A. Silvestri
Year: 2017

The purpose of this paper is to build a theoretic and practical framework, based on agile project management, to support the decision-making process in order to help companies in optimizing the reengineering production processes and improve management costs.,This paper seeks to propose an agile Reengineering Performance Model (ARPM) for managing projects of reengineering of processes and applies it in a real case study concerning a water bottling plant.,The proposed model should serve as a valuable tool to facilitate a successful business process reengineering design in the project management and intends to assist companies as they operate projects of transferring and optimizing production lines. Thanks to the use of ARPM tools, it is easy to modify the evolution of the project, with the possibility of extending or enhancing the application if necessary.,The main limits of the ARPM model are: it requires close collaboration among team; it is rather intense for developers; and it is necessary flexibility to change course as needed and to ensure delivery of the right product.,The main implications of the authors’ work for research and business are to propose a structured methodological approach, rigorous but simple, suitable to implement in any companies.,The novelty of the approach is to apply the agile approach not for software development but in a manufacturing company.
“Project smells” - Experiences in Analysing the Software Quality of ML Projects with mllint
Authors: B. V. Oort; L. Cruz; B. Loni; A. Deursen
Year: 2022

Machine Learning (ML) projects incur novel challenges in their development and productionisation over traditional software applications, though established principles and best practices in ensuring the project's software quality still apply. While using static analysis to catch code smells has been shown to improve software quality attributes, it is only a small piece of the software quality puzzle, especially in the case of ML projects given their additional challenges and lower degree of Software Engineering (SE) experience in the data scientists that develop them. We introduce the novel concept of project smells which consider deficits in project management as a more holistic perspective on software quality in ML projects. An open-source static analysis tool mllint was also implemented to help detect and mitigate these. Our research evaluates this novel concept of project smells in the industrial context of ING, a global bank and large software- and data-intensive organisation. We also investigate the perceived importance of these project smells for proof-of-concept versus production-ready ML projects, as well as the perceived obstructions and benefits to using static analysis tools such as mllint. Our findings indicate a need for context-aware static analysis tools, that fit the needs of the project at its current stage of development, while requiring minimal configuration effort from the user.

How to unlock BIM capabilities in the design phase to project success for long-term organization development?
Authors: Cleber Marchi Bernardo de Araujo; Josivan Leite Alves
Year: 2024

PurposeExplore how the AECO organizations can establish BIM capabilities in the design phase to ensure project success for long-term development.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative approach through the application of structural equation modeling with the partial least squares method (PLS-SEM). This study performs a path analysis and hypothesis testing through the PLS method using the SmartPLS 4.0 software.FindingsThe paper demonstrates that simply adopting BIM is not enough for project success. The lack of preparation for adopting BIM can even have a negative effect on project success, since the structure, technology and designers may not be prepared to integrate all project requirements into BIM models. For effective project success, the article demonstrates that the indirect effect of building BIM capabilities must be considered.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed model can serve as a guide for organizational strategy by showing managers the main variables to be considered for long-term survival. The article also warns that the isolated adoption of BIM can be detrimental to the success of projects. However, the lack of BIM capabilities can exclude the organization from the market, as it may not be prepared to recognize project opportunities and not incorporate technologies.Practical implicationsThe limitation is that the data are not longitudinal; therefore, they are conditioned by the current perceptions of AECO industry professionals about BIM adoption. The results of this research reflect the perception of professionals in the Brazilian construction industry only.Social implicationsAlthough social implications are not directly addressed in the model, the potential for improving project success in the AECO industry suggests broader positive impacts on project management in the AECO industry. Furthermore, these advances can contribute to better urban planning, improved infrastructure and overall social well-being, impacting quality of life by influencing public policy and shaping public attitudes toward construction and development.Originality/valueUsing strategic innovation theories as a theoretical framework for building BIM capabilities, the paper expands this theory by establishing that BIM capabilities are fundamental to sustaining the survival of AECO industry organizations. The paper demonstrates that BIM capabilities are what prepare organizations to adapt to new technologies and strategic resources oriented toward innovation. In this sense, the adoption of BIM itself is an initial step towards building these capabilities, since once the adaptation phase is over, the organization is prepared to optimize its processes with other technologies.

BELIEVE in collaboration: Effective evaluation partnerships for National Professional Development projects
Authors: Raeal Moore; Belinda G. Gimbert; Melissa Becce
Year: 2024

Quality partnerships are imperative for successful project implementation. The partnership between project personnel and independent evaluators is often overlooked. In effective partnerships, both the evaluators and the education project management team collectively ensure that educational initiatives are well‐planned, executed, and assessed. This collaborative approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement and accountability, ultimately leading to better educational outcomes for English learner students, educators, and the community. This conceptual article highlights eight elements of an effective project management and evaluator partnership: (1) clear communication and collaboration, (2) goal alignment, (3) early planning for evaluation, (4) multi‐purpose evaluation activities, (5) shared responsibility, (6) feedback loops, (7) transparency, and (8) evaluation capacity building. The authors present these elements through the design, deployment, analysis, and use of the Better English Learners Instruction and Education in Varied Environments (BELIEVE) classroom observation tool. The tool was collaboratively created and deployed across two National Professional Development grants in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, addressing the need for a tool that could be used in varying learning modes and capture how effectively classroom teachers were teaching academic content and literacy to English learners in elementary and middle schools. The article illustrates how this tool has been used by program personnel to inform the teacher–coach relationship and educate teachers and administrators about best practices, and by the evaluation team to assess the progress of teachers' use of research‐based practices to teach English learners.

Year: 2024

Learning outcomes
After reading the case and answering the case assignments, students will be able to understand and explain the challenges and opportunities for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors and their subcontractors; understand and critically analyse the advantages and disadvantages of insourcing and outsourcing of engineering, procurement and construction in EPC projects; determine which situations merit insourcing or outsourcing within each of engineering, procurement and construction in EPC projects; understand and identify the competencies and qualifications that a subcontractor must possess if any EPC activity is outsourced to them; and develop a decision-making framework to determine which EPC activities must be kept in-house or outsourced in EPC projects.

Case overview/synopsis
In mid-March 2021, PetroSahand International Group, a leading EPC contractor specializing in the oil, gas and petrochemicals industries in Iran, encountered significant challenges with its subcontractors in engineering and construction. These issues resulted in widespread repercussions for the company, including project delays and mounting debts. At the peak of these crises, PetroSahand’s senior management embarked on a thorough examination of whether to insource or outsource various aspects of their operations, such as engineering, procurement and construction. Their objective was twofold: to prevent similar setbacks in future projects and to navigate existing projects with minimal disruption to the company’s reputation. To address this critical dilemma, PetroSahand enlisted the expertise of a consulting team from Sharif University of Technology. Comprising esteemed professors, graduates and students from one of Iran’s most respected institutions, this team undertook an exhaustive analysis of the insourcing versus outsourcing debate across EPC domains. Subsequently, they presented their comprehensive findings, thereby confronting PetroSahand’s senior management with a pivotal choice regarding the optimal approach for each activity.

Complexity academic level
The audience of this work is undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in project management courses, both fundamentals and advanced. In addition, this case helps senior managers of EPC contractors gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of insourcing or outsourcing different project activities.

Exploring the Role of Employers’ Onboarding Programs in Preparing Early-Career Engineers
Authors: B. Babajide; Hassan Ali Al Yagoub
Year: 2019

In this work-in-progress research paper, we report an exploratory study on the role of onboarding programs in preparing early-career engineers for engineering practice. For many years, undergraduate engineering programs have focused primarily on the classroom experience. To provide more authentic pre-professional preparation, however, undergraduate programs have increasingly encouraged outof-class experiences such as senior design capstone projects, project-based learning, and service learning. While engineering students now graduate with stronger preparation for professional practice, employers still invest significant resources in onboarding programs for early-career engineers. These onboarding programs may include a combination of classroom experiences, technical department rotations, and mentorship. Employers like the Indiana State Department of Transportation, Caterpillar Inc., and General Electric describe their onboarding programs as including technical elements like design, professional skill development such as leadership, and in some cases, mentorship.Although many research studies suggest that project-based learning and service learning programs enhance student preparedness for engineering practice, little is known about how onboarding programs develop the knowledge and skills of early-career engineers, and how these programs build upon the knowledge that they acquired as undergraduates. Preliminary findings suggest that the transitional onboarding programs in engineering practice strengthen competencies such as working on multicultural teams, networking skills, and develop project management skills.
