This necessitated the investigation of techniques to engender maximum efficiency gains. Hence, continuous improvements on new techniques that will give customer satisfaction are required to be implemented to improve the development of the sector. The adoption of Value Reengineering (VRE) could result in a breakthrough solution in resolving the challenges of customer dissatisfaction in the industry. The subjectivist methodology was utilised to establish critical success factors in thirty-four purposefully sampled building construction operators within Abuja using purposive sampling techniques. The deductive/thematic technique was used to analyse the recorded, transcribed, and interpreted interview data after it had been sorted and coded to develop information about any common pattern among the interviewees' evidence on causes militating against VRE deployment in the CI. The results revealed a significant need for the process to be reengineered through the utility of change enablers and the introduction of assistive technologies. The study further reveals that inadequate employee training to implement VRE, lack of understanding of the implementation requirements, top management commitment, quality standards of contractor’s work, and lack of employee consensus to see the implementation through is the key planning, technical and organisational related factors identified. The research concluded that VRE implementation would be achieved if adequate attention is given to the level of awareness of the operator of the technique through training and retraining of operatives in the industry. The study recommends that VRE implementation in all construction projects be encouraged, as it has the potential for the customer to achieve its desired satisfaction on value offering.","PeriodicalId":53274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Project and Production Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42837952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oboreh","doi":"10.32738/jeppm-2022-0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32738/jeppm-2022-0003","url":null,"abstract":"The construction industries of both developed and developing countries are dominated by construction small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The industry is project-based and requires knowledge workers for performance. Construction SMEs contribute significantly to employment generation, economic growth and prosperity, innovation diffusion, among others. They, however, are faced with poor productivity and performance, especially in the area of time, cost, quality and safety. This is hinged on their rigidity and inflexibility to the adoption of modern management techniques, amidst other external environmental constraints. Knowledge is a vital asset of organisations and knowledge management (KM) is a critical strategic and tactical management tool for improving organisations productivity, competitiveness and survival. This study aims to assess the factors limiting a full-scale implementation of effective KM practices among construction SMEs, especially on construction projects in the south-south region of Nigeria. This study leverages an electronic questionnaire and snowballs sampling technique to gather data from the SMEs' construction professional employees in the study. The collected data were analysed using factor analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test. The study found that technology-related barriers, cultural and management barriers, motivation and time barriers, awareness and communication barriers, and insecurity barriers, were the major cluster of factors limiting effective KM implementation by SMEs. Furthermore, no significant statistical difference in the perception of the small and medium-sized organisations was also found. It is recommended that adequate government and top management supports are needed to overcome the barriers and entrench KM practices as the key tactical and strategic tool for improving productivity and performance and ensuring the sustenance and survival of the construction SMEs.","PeriodicalId":53274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Project and Production Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46354595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A review of the research literature shows that the term good governance is mostly used in relation to governments, and there is no proper understanding of the role of good governance in non-governmental organizations. Due to the significant growth of project-oriented organizations, there is a gap in the literature to explain the position of good governance in project-based organizations. For this reason, there is no good understanding of the term good governance and its application in project-based organizations. The purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the criteria of good governance in Iranian project-based organizations. To this end, a hybrid approach based on meta-synthesis, thematic analysis, and multi-criteria decision-making methods was used to identify and prioritize good governance criteria in project-based organizations. In the first phase, using the meta-synthesis method, an extensive review of the good governance literature from 2012 to 2020 was conducted and different criteria of good governance were extracted. In the second phase, the thematic analysis method was used to identify good governance criteria through interviews with 10 experts active in project-based organizations. In the third phase, the best-worst method (BWM) method was used to weigh and prioritize the good governance criteria. The results of data analysis indicated that accountability is the most important criterion, and the planning to respond to risks and uncertainties is the most important sub-criterion of the research. Finally, some managerial implications for managers of project-based organizations and some future research directions were provided.","PeriodicalId":53274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Project and Production Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42320010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since formwork is an essential part of RC construction supply chain, it has a significant impact on the project performance. In the industrial formwork systems supply chain, the roles and responsibilities of the main stakeholders (e.g., engineer, contractor, formwork fabricator) at various phases of the project can be represented by different supply chain configurations (SCCs). The objectives of this study are to identify different SCCs for industrial formwork systems in the Turkish RC construction industry and to analyze the identified SCCs using value stream mapping (VSM) method, which is an effective and major lean tool for identifying and eliminating waste. For this purpose, first, three SCCs for industrial formwork systems have been identified, which are predominantly used in Turkey. Then, these configurations were analyzed through VSM method on an ongoing building project where 500 m2 of industrial wall formwork would be used as a real-life case study. The analysis results indicated that the SCC with the early involvement of the formwork fabricator (FWF) had higher performance than other SCCs, which is consistent with a lean construction approach.","PeriodicalId":53274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Project and Production Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41611536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this research are; to examine the influence of project management standards on project success, and to investigate the impact of PMO as a mediator between project management standards and project success in construction project-based organizations in Iran. Having the knowledge and research gap unfolded, a conceptual framework proposed to bridge the gap and three hypotheses were developed based on the study objectives. A survey, targeting Iranian project managers and construction practitioners working in grade 1 construction companies, was conducted and multivariate analysis techniques were adopted to analyze the data. After the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the SEM analysis was used to test the hypothesized relationships. In general, the developed conceptual framework was confirmed, and the analysis enhanced the understanding of the current status of project management standard implementation and construction industry practitioners' perception of the factors contributing to project success.","PeriodicalId":53274,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Project and Production Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47527537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
