Advancing Architecture and Engineering Education for Project Value Delivery
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Delivering project value primarily depends on understanding project stakeholders' different needs and requirements and translating these needs into a well-constructed facility. This concept is usually insufficiently revealed ...
Accounting for Variability: Identifying Critical Activities as a Supplement to the Critical Path
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Successful realization of construction activities requires simultaneous integration of various resource input flows, giving rise to considerable sources of flow variability. Such variability might manifest as schedule ...
Forecasting Construction Project Performance with Momentum Using Singularity Functions in LPS
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction planning and control are crucial for project success. The last planner system (LPS) presents a proactive approach to plan and control production, designed to increase reliability and enhance the make-ready ...
MOCAP and AI-Based Automated Physical Demand Analysis for Workplace Safety
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Worker safety and productivity and the factors that affect them, such as ergonomics, are essential aspects of construction projects. The application of ergonomics and the identification of the connections between workers ...
Simulation-Based Approximation of the Gain from Applying Overlapping Activities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Schedule management is essential in construction projects to ensure successful completion. However, the dynamic nature of the construction industry introduces variability, leading to uncertainty and challenges in schedule ...
The Need for a Multidimensional Project Control Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A successful construction project relies heavily on planning and control. The prevalent practice is to adopt a single control method throughout a project, such as earned value management (EVM), which integrates costs and ...
Lean Principles for the Management of Construction Submittals and RFIs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Office-related processes in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry represent a parallel system that works to support activities performed by those in the field, however, researchers often overlook ...
Considerations for Filing Global Construction Claims: Legal Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Delays and disruptions that frequently lead to cost overruns on, and late completion of, construction projects are often accompanied by claims for time extensions and/or additional compensations by construction contractors. ...
Impact of Activity Sequencing on Reducing Variability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Variation in production is a major cause of producing waste in onsite construction operations, resulting in a workflow that is full of delays and interruptions. To reduce the negative impact of waste in construction, ...
