Protocol to Enhance Profitability by Managing Risks in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)To enhance the profitability of a construction company, risks that affect the profit of the company must be controlled as part of their long-term business planning. Project risk management is a systematic process used for ... -
Multimode Resource-Constrained Scheduling and Leveling for Practical-Size Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper aims at providing a fast near-optimum solution to the multimode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) in large-scale projects, with and without resource-leveling constraints. The MRCPSP problem ... -
Framework for Stakeholder Management in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a systematic and generic framework reference for the practice of stakeholder management in the construction industry. It contains findings from empirical studies, comprising six interviews, a pilot ... -
Holonic Construction Management: Unified Framework for ICT-Supported Process Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Communication in construction still depends on a communication network much like the Romans used, face-to-face meetings and paper. Not surprisingly, this situation has been identified as an inhibitor to increasing productivity ... -
Critical Look into the Relationship between Information and Communication Technology and Integrated Project Delivery in Public Sector Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The relationship between integrated project delivery (IPD) and information and communication technology (ICT) in the context of public sector construction in the United States is critically examined in this paper. While ... -
Practical Application for Integrated Performance Measurement of Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)As projects become more complex and project management more integrated, project-performance measurements must expand. Project-oriented contractors need a unified performance-measurement system that integrates project ... -
Possibilistic Moments for the Task Duration in Fuzzy PERT
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Program (or project) evaluation review technique (PERT) has remained a modern method in project scheduling for decades. Since its invention, numerous authors have tried modifications to its basic method in an attempt to ... -
Alternative Model for Determining the Optimal Concession Period in Managing BOT Transportation Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The concession period is one of the most crucial variables influencing the success of a transportation project under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) procurement model. Since BOT transportation projects are characterized ... -
Dynamic Control Thresholds for Consistent Earned Value Analysis and Reliable Early Warning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Earned value management (EVM) facilitates practicing management-by-exception by triggering control actions only when they are needed. The efficiency and effectiveness of project control actions are influenced by the control ... -
Information and Communication Technology Applications in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Organizations: A 15-Year Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Information and communication technology (ICT) has had enormous effects on the development of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) organizations in past decades. The effects have resonated in various disciplines, ... -
Improving Forecasting Accuracy of Project Earned Value Metrics: Linear Modeling Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Accurately forecasting earned value (EV) metrics is a pivotal component of planning and controlling projects. Despite many approaches to forecasting EV metrics, most studies focus on improving the accuracy of estimating ... -
Messy Talk in Virtual Teams: Achieving Knowledge Synthesis through Shared Visualizations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Engineering teams collaborating in virtual environments face many technical, social, and cultural challenges. In this paper we focus on distributed teams making joint unanticipated discoveries in virtual environments. We ... -
Leadership and Organizational Vision in Managing a Multiethnic and Multicultural Project Team
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)To meet the demands of managing complex projects, project leaders face challenges of daily leadership behavior and organizational vision to manage a project team. The challenges are compounded when the task of creating a ... -
