Planning the construction for a system of bored piles in building foundation engineering is (1) to predict the time duration required to complete all the bored piles with due consideration of relevant engineering factors and site constraints; then (2) to predict the total project time generally by aggregating the predicted working duration for construction of each bored pile. The duration for construction of an individual bored pile results from analyzing various working sequences and different activity duration (such as predrilling, excavation, steelfixing, air-lifting, and concreting, etc.), which is informed by experiences and site records of previous projects. However, determining the project duration for constructing many bored piles on one site is much more complicated than adding up the time duration for individual piles. In practice, project schedules are often found to be unrealistic and incorrect during the construction stage. This is because construction planning is not based on a exhaustive and comprehensive evaluation of site factors, such as site layout plan, site constraints, quality control, environmental control, safety control and logical relationships between different trades. In this paper, we identify those factors based on a foundation engineering site in Hong Kong with ninety-seven bored piles and address their effects on uncertainties in activity time and project time.

Companies are planning and executing IT projects using information technology as a means to secure external competitiveness. However, IT projects have high risks and uncertainties due to the invisibility of outputs (systems, services, products), and changes in plans frequently occur during project execution. As a result, most IT projects are closed without achieving the target performance. This can lead to a waste of resources and money for the company, which in turn leads to the loss of opportunities to enter new markets. This study intends to analyze the effect of changes in the project plan on customer satisfaction, which is the project performance. Also, we want to find the importance of project planning so that the target performance of the IT project can be achieved. For the empirical analysis of this study, about 500 actual project data were collected. As for the analysis method, statistical analysis such as simple and multiple regression analysis and control effect was performed. Looking at the results of the analysis, it was found that the scope change affects the cost change and the schedule change. Also, changes in scope and cost were found to affect project performance. The theoretical performance of this study proved the theoretical fact that good project performance comes out if the IT project is executed as planned. The practical performance suggested the need for a change in project management by proving that thorough execution of the project planning stage can improve the project performance in the Korean project management culture, where the project planning stage is poorly performed for the rapid implementation of the IT project.

The Information System(IS) planning for construction project management must be performed through decomposing the construction management business process upon considering the information technology in a construction company. Following this background, this paper proposes a model for evaluating the expected value of IS planning for construction project management. The model is made to analyze the effectiveness and to evaluate the opportunity of IS planning for task and information, then finally to quantify the value. Lastly, this model can be used to plan IS for construction project management.

The importance of early project planning is broadly recognized for construction projects. From the planning step, If extensive historical data related with the project is applied effectively, It can be major resource for estimating cost and project scope. However, The accumulation, analysis, and application of historical data is not sufficient in Korea. So useful information of construction project has disappeared. In order to solve the problems, Project Historical Data Management Systems is need to be developed. The purpose of this study is to analyze current problems and to find the method to utilize historical data in similar project.

To promote the remodeling project it is important to get apartment residents' consent. It is significant variable to determine project to progress smoothly from planning stage which committee of association establishment sets up to establishment stage of association. On average, it takes about 1~1.6 year in planning phase which means before construction phase of remodeling. Therefore, it is very important issue to get apartment residents' consent in planning phase. In this research, we focused on residents' opinion and proposed solution of conflict with gathering residents' opinion to proceed remodeling project. By setting particular remodeling situation, related residents represented as agents made effort to efficient coordination to reduce total duration of decision making. Therefore, we proposed multi-agent based on fuzzy inference to simulate behavior of decision making on remodeling project effectively. From this method, optimal alternative is selected by considering each agents' attributes which represented by fuzzy set. This research will develope to further research for realizing concrete multi-agent based on fuzzy inference considering all stakeholders in remodeling project.

Decision making at the early stages of a construction project has a significant impact on the project, and various scenarios created based on the owner's requirements should be considered for the decision making. At the early stages of a construction project, the information regarding the project is usually limited and uncertain. As such, it is difficult to plan and manage the project (especially cost planning). Thus, in this study, a cost model that could be varied according to the owner's requirements was developed. The cost model that was developed in this study is based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) methodology. The model suggests cost estimation with the most similar historical case as a basis for the estimation. In this study, the optimization process was also conducted, using genetic algorithms that reflect the changes in the number of project characteristics and in the database in the model according to the owner's decision making. Two optimization parameters were established: (1) the minimum criteria for scoring attribute similarity (MCAS); and (2) the range of attribute weights (RAW). The cost model proposed in this study can help building owners and managers estimate the project budget at the business planning stage.

Most recent programs in and out of the country are related to urban renewal projects. Contemporary project management information systems have been developed was to manage single or multiple projects focusing on their construction phase, and those have limitations to apply to large-scale complicated mega projects. So, this study explain the core concept of decision support modules for iPMIS (Intelligent Program Management Information System) and its major functions to support project owner and participants by introducing ontology in the web environment. This study confined the scope of research to the planning phase of urban environment improvement projects. Ontological logic structure and relation about planning works is essential parts and three functions to implement decision support module are developed.

The Last PlannerSystem (LPS) has been implemented on construction projects to increase work flow reliability, a precondition for project performance againstproductivity and progress targets. The LPS encompasses four tiers of planning processes:master scheduling, phase scheduling, lookahead planning, and commitment / weeklywork planning. This research highlights deficiencies in the current implementation of LPS including poor lookahead planning which results in poor linkage between weeklywork plans and the master schedule. This poor linkage undetermines the ability of theweekly work planning process to select for execution tasks that are critical to projectsuccess. As a result, percent plan complete (PPC) becomes a weak indicator of project progress. The purpose of this research is to improve lookahead planning (the bridgebetween weekly work planning and master scheduling), improve PPC, and improve theselection of tasks that are critical to project success by increasing the link betweenShould, Can, Will, and Did (components of the LPS), thereby rendering PPC a betterindicator of project progress. The research employs the case study research method to describe deficiencies inthe current implementation of the LPS and suggest guidelines for a better application ofLPS in general and lookahead planning in particular. It then introduces an analyticalsimulation model to analyze the lookahead planning process. This is done by examining the impact on PPC of increasing two lookahead planning performance metrics: tasksanticipated (TA) and tasks made ready (TMR). Finally, the research investigates theimportance of the lookahead planning functions: identification and removal ofconstraints, task breakdown, and operations design.The research findings confirm the positive impact of improving lookaheadplanning (i.e., TA and TMR) on PPC. It also recognizes the need to perform lookaheadplanning differently for three types of work involving different levels of uncertainty:stable work, medium uncertainty work, and highly emergent work.The research confirms the LPS rules for practice and specifically the need to planin greater detail as time gets closer to performing the work. It highlights the role of LPSas a production system that incorporates deliberate planning (predetermined andoptimized) and situated planning (flexible and adaptive). Finally, the research presents recommendations for production planningimprovements in three areas: process related, (suggesting guidelines for practice),technical, (highlighting issues with current software programs and advocating theinclusion of collaborative planning capability), and organizational improvements(suggesting transitional steps when applying the LPS).

For half a century, PMM(Project Management Model) continually has been advanced by many researchers and managers. Especially, the model for civil and construct engineering has now high maturity, but the model for IT engineering has not acceptable maturity. PMI(Project Management Institute) provides the knowledge of protect management for general purpose, it is not adequate for IT prefect management without complements. In this paper, we propose IT project management model based the knowledge of PMI using UML. IT project management model provides not only functions for project planning, budgeting, design and Implement, but also the knowledge for managing IT protect efficiently. We use uses case diagrams to describe the details of the model. We expect the model to be used in management of IT project efficiently in public sector.
