A construction supply chain needs an integrated information system, as the general contractor and subcontractors must communicate regularly with one another and share a substantial amount of information in their cooperative work. In the construction industry, supply chain management is necessary in the management of a system, including business process improvement, participant-oriented management, and the supply chain. This research proposed a supporting system and developed the prototype focusing on materials that play an important role in the supply chain. Construction projects are managed mainly through schedule management. As such, supply chain management should be linked with schedule management. The research implemented a prototype of the supporting system for construction supply chain management. The prototype was implemented in Microsoft Project using VBA, including a simulation tool based on @Risk for Project.

Chinese construction companies take major roles gradually in the global construction market. Chinese construction companies performs well-organized project execution by the construction related professionals based on the domestic education and qualification system. The purpose of this study is to analysis the characteristics of professional qualifications for constructor and quantity surveyor in China. The result shows that qualification systems of constructor and quantity surveyor are well classified in detail and operated by government. Each qualifications require broad and defined knowledge structure together with practical experiences. The research result will open the further research of Chinese construction related qualifications in the ways of more specificity, expertise, and practicality.

Labor management has been considered as an important task in construction industry. However, labor management has not yet been systematically performed because of the wide variety of factors of construction industry such as the field work, the complexity of the work process, the daily employment. Most of the present labor managements are performed to collect the information of the number of labors input during the work period, and to calculate labor cost. The information of activities performed by labors can be effectively used to analyze project status related to schedule, cost and productivity, but the present labor management systems are not based on the activities. The main objective of this research is to develop a labor information management system using IT tools in order to measure the number of labors input on the activities, and to convert the labor information into productivity data. It is anticipated that the effective use of the developed system would be able to effectively assist the scheduling and cost management of a project.

Due to harsh conditions of construction site, understanding of current feature of terrain and other infrastructures is critical issue for site managers. However, because of difficulties in acquiring the geographical information of the construction sites such as large sites and limited capability of construction workers, comprehensive site investigation of current feature of construction site is not an easy task for construction managers. To address these circumstances of construction sites, this study deduce difficulties and applicabilities of unmanned aerial vehicle in the area of construction site management. To confirm applicability of UAV in civil construction project, case study have been conducted on the road construction project. The result of case study proved that the developed system is one of promising technologies that has been studied in construction site management. To improve applicability of UAV for construction and process management information, law and technical issues will be an important area of future study.

In the construction process, there are many change orders differing to the initial contracts came from the social needs and environmental changes. Most of them will impact to the construction process so that its effects occur project delays. Time extension and liquidated damage in the construction process come from schedule delay whether it is excusable or not non-excusable by the owner. However, those become the delay claims if the owner and the contractor are not agreed on this situation. One of the most important thing on the delay claims is the calculation of delay. The purpose of this study is to present the method of the time delay calculation by comparison of As-Planned schedule, As-Built schedule including all delay and As-Built schedule absent owner delay.

The reason why most scheduling softwares currently using at construction projects adopt PDM (Precedence Diagramming Method) is that it can express an overlapping relationship between activities. However, the overlapping relationships in PDM are represented only by combinations of four overlapping types that connect the start and finish points of two activities, therefore, PDM cannot express efficiently the relationships between any middle points of two activities if they should be represented. This research proposes the method of transforming the four overlapping types of PDM to the overlapping relationships of BDM(Beeline Diagramming Method), new networking technique, that can connect the inter-relationships at any middle points of two activities as well as express multiple overlapping relationships. The proposed method will help not only to improve an efficiency of scheduling but also to upgrade the scheduling technique because BDM technique has a lot of unique advantages in scheduling.

Productivity is the most important factor directly link to success and failure of a work in construction industry. To evaluate this productivity, simulation technique is verified as a fine inspection tool through various experiment reports. On this project, we have proved the part of improvement on productivity using this simulation technique, applied to this field sites. We have used CYCLONE, which is the most appropriate simulation technique on this project. As a result of Simulation analysis, it has been confirmed that the productivity was enhanced due to the advancement of equipment, hence the reduction of air is being effected.

For applying simulation to the construction process, much effort is needed to collect input data and to build the model including the characteristics of site. This study introduces the methodology to collect operation data of construction equipment and build the simulation model, then verifies the model with the operation data. In addition, this study identifies main factors to determine the cycle time of the muck hauling system and offers reasonable decision making data using the simulation based planning of construction equipment operation.

세계적인 기상이변으로 가뭄발생 빈도 및 영향이 증가하고 있으며, 급속한 산업화로 사용 가능한 수자원이 점차 고갈되어 있어, 국내에서도 해수담수화(Seawater Desalination)는 새로운 대체수자원으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 해수담수에 필요한 에너지 약 50~70%는 역삼투(Reverse Osmosis) 공정에서 발생되며, 해수온도 및 염분도에 따라 많이 변동될 수 있으므로 국립해양조사원(KHOA)의 과거 20년 자료를 이용하여 해수담수화 시설물 위치에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 해수담수화에 필요한 에너지는 막 제조사에서 제공하는 RO Projection Software를 적용하여 에너지 소모량을 평가하고, 이를 고려한 시설물 위치에 대한 평가 모델을 구축하였다. 기존 해수담수화 시설은 대규모 물 공급이 필요한 지역을 우선적으로 고려했기 때문에 시설물 위치에 대한 객관적인 평가기준 마련이 어려웠다. 그러나 해수담수화 플랜트는 한번 설치되면 장기적인 시설물 유지 및 관리가 필요함으로 경제성을 고려한 최적 입지의 선정은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 국립해양조사원의 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 해수담수화 시설물 입지선정을 정량적으로 평가함으로서, 시설물 위치에 대한 의사결정시 참고할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

Generally speaking, it is important to know the activities itself exactly and to control the activities correctly so as to assure timely progress and the quality of any project. In order to progress smoothly in accordance with construction schedule, it is important to systematize the preliminary arrangements necessary for each process and then manage them. In this study, in order to progress smoothly the quality and schedule management of the construction, we can be made systematically pre-works in accordance with construction schedule by the civil construction items of the apartment house construction. we suggested pre-construction control item by the workers through experiential method of construction engineers in accordance with network schedule.
