The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a primary tool which provides a framework that defines clear scope of all deliverables throughout the project life cycle. Once the WBS is established in projects, it should allow project team members to measure and manage work performances by the WBS; further, it should provide a reference point when any work scope needs to be redefined. Based on the project information in the Progress and Performance Measurement System (PPMS) of UAE's Barakha Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) projects, an attempt was made to develop a new WBS which provides hierarchical and systematical decomposition of the total work scope of NPP construction projects while avoiding from the preexistence concept in Korean NPP projects that the WBS is a combination of Physical Breakdown Structure (PBS) and Functional Breakdown Structure (FBS). The unique features of the new WBS are as follows: (1) defined the definition of each level of the WBS, (2) subdivided the WBS into 5 hierarchical levels, and (3) adopted globally used general coding structure. The new WBS provides a basic hierarchical structure for the project scope and can be used as a basic tool for schedule control, performance measurement, project status monitoring, and communication among project participants. In addition, by putting the Work Package (WP) under the WBS, the Earned Value Management System (EVMS) per WP can be utilized for the project.

Since an accident in construction industry has been higher than others for decades, the accident in construction industry should be decreased. To prevention this problem, the work breakdown structure (WBS) and risk breakdown structure (RBS) are presented. the WBS and RBS, are hierarchy structure which can find fatal incident considering type of building and type of work easily and quickly. So, this study aims to develop framework for the integrated WBS-RBS to prevent fatal incident on construction industry. The research process is conducted by following 3 steps: (I) collection of data; (II) classification of data; and (III) development of the integrated WBS-RBS. The result of this study can propose the most dangerous fatal incident aspect of type of building, type of work, and type of accident. Through the result, the decision maker can reduce or eliminate fatal incident considering type of building, type of work and type of accident in construction industry.

The government abolished the existing method to calculate the construction price by the quantity take-off and pricing. It has introduced a new estimating system which uses the actual cost data on the basis of actual contract unit price. However, in the case of the current method to calculate the estimate price of BTL educational facilities, it is difficult to prepare an accurate ground for calculating unit prices due to a lack of standardized work breakdown structure (WBS) and guidelines for the detailed bidding documents. Thus, this research aims to establish WBS using the actual construction price on the basis of the actual bidding documents for the previous construction of BTL educational facilities. This specific WBS can be differentiated from the general WBS which is not suited for construction of the educational facility. It makes possible to build the construction information classification system and it helps to systemize the maintenance and repair cost items.

The objective of this study is to implement a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) so as to support efficient information management through the construction process of Steel Box Girder Bridge. To meet this requirement. This study performs the analysis of the business process. Through the work, information flows and information management levels are identified. Information management in each manufacturing process was various in its level. For the efficient information management, skating and utilization in schedule, cost, resource, and quality management, it is recommended to utilize a WBS composed of major work section and element structure of the steel box girder.

Work breakdown structure is a central element in project management and systems engineering. Composing a quality work breakdown structure is essential for the success of any project. In this paper, extensive use of work breakdown structure during phase one of KSLV-II launch vehicle development program is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of applying WBS-centric program and systems engineering management to the project are reviewed.

This paper discusses WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) that is known for technique of basic project management. The WBS use in domestic industries often exhibit errors in Its structure. The most common serious error is space-oriented breakdown structure of PBS (Product Breakdown Structure) that becomes the core element of the WBS. This paper proposes a method to correct the problem of space-oriented breakdown structure constructed in domestic railroad industry. DSM method was adopted to construct PBS containing function-oriented structure. The proposed process and method will contribute to minimize time that take to construct an accurate and useful PBS.

The existing safety-management manual is confined to list data based on regulations, and only provide ways to prevent accidents/incidents for particular work which accidents occur frequently. As it is difficult to understand the complete process involved the work, we can not expect the manual to function as a guide to prevent unfortunate events. When establishing WBS(work breakdown structure) of railway line engineering, consideration of the characteristics of train operation will enable many benefits. Therefore in this research it is conducted to materialize it in the manual. Main contents in this research are to review the way that change complete work performance process and person in charge of different tasks into WBS(work breakdown structure), and trough the newly developed WBS , the ways to improve roles and functions of the manual which Korean Railroad made are recommended.

Over the past decades, there have been numerous studies for approaches to build and operate electronic government systems. Among those studies, work breakdown structure(WBS) has been gained attention increasingly. As a general system engineering techniques. WBS is a kind of methods to engineer and manage electronic government systems effectively. WBS is to organizes tasks and data items for management and engineering for electronic government systems. In this paper, the authors proposed a conceptual WBS model for management and engineering electronic government systems. Also, the authors conducted a case study based on the conceptual WBS model. The results of this study provide useful insights and guidelines for applying the WBS to management and engineering for electronic government systems. The authors believed that the conceptual WBS models will be widely used to management and engineering an electronic government systems.

Over the past decade, the topic of work breakdown structure (WBS) has gained an increasing amount of attention from information technology Professionals as an effective tool for managing the complexity of a large-scale information system development project. It is a method for planning and controlling a large-scale information system development. A WBS provides the basis for project organization, cost estimation, task scheduling, and contract management. Based on the authors' practical experience, this paper discusses how to establish a specific WBS and some considerations for developing a well-defined WBS. The model of WBS suggested in this study will provide useful insight and guidelines for establishing the spec-ific WBS for a large-scale information systems development.

The successful project management is based on definition of project goals in construction industry. The WBS(Work Breakdown Structure) is one of the major factors which defines works related to project goals. The necessity of the WBS for owners in multi complex projects which would help them to understand the whole project is rising because the multi-complex project in the construction industry has increasing recently. Therefore, this study suggests directions to establish the WBS for owners through investigating a concept of the multi-complex project first and analyzing types of project, domestic and foreign WBS, and case studies.
