  • Since 2012, the Navy has been conducting a defense experiment project to evaluate the possibility of military application by introducing new technologies related to excellent private informatization in the defense field. There are many projects that have spread because they are suitable for military use, but some have ended as experimental projects themselves because they do not meet the military's required performance. Continuous development is required as increasing the spread rate by successfully carrying out defense experiment projects is the basis for defense reform. This study analyzed the performance of major projects carried out by the Navy and presented considerations for the development of defense experiment projects to be carried out by the Navy in the future. The main achievements were derived in various ways in terms of project performance and system operation, and the considerations can be summarized in the field of raising business requirements, securing resources for system operation, determining the size of companies for project execution, and security measures. The research results can be used as data to determine the required defense experiment project and efficiently carry out the project.

  • With the mounting concerns over environmental issues, green construction is gaining a place in the global construction industry. However, rare research has been conducted to analyze green construction projects, especially in the aspect of project schedule performance. As a result, this study aims to investigate the degree of project delay in green building construction, analyze the factors affecting schedule delay of green building projects, and finally provide recommendations to improve schedule performance of green building project. To achieve the objectives, a comprehensive literature review was carried out, followed by a survey conducted with 30 companies that provided data from 220 traditional and 96 green building projects. The analysis of the responses identified that 15.9% of the traditional building projects were delayed while 32.3% of the green building projects were completed behind schedule. Furthermore, the amount of the delays in green building projects was an average of 4.8% of their planned schedule. The top 5 critical factors that can cause delay in green building projects were identified as: (1) speed of decision-making by clients; (2) speed of decision-making involving all project teams; (3) communication/coordination between key parties; (4) level of experience of consultants; and (5) difficulties in contractors' project financing. Lastly, a list of recommendations was introduced, aiming to reduce schedule delay in green building construction projects based on the observations. This study will serve as s a base for further research on the enhancement of green building project schedule performance.

  • The Korean nuclear industry acquired technology for each construction stage including engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning from advanced nuclear countries. While the levels of technology and quality have greatly improved, the same cannot be said for the level of project management. In particular, the level of project performance measurement and forecasting project risk still remain at the single project management level. Thus, this paper reviewed the concept of the EVMS method and requirement for the system. The adoption of the EVMS, an advanced project management method, can enable efficient management of project risks and promote an adequate environment for project implementation.

  • Studies have shown that infrastructure projects have continued to experience significant delays and cost overrun over an extended period of time and no evidence of learning ever have happened [1] [2]. Various causes contribute to the bias towards overrun [3]. This study contributes to literature by developing and subsequently validating a set of hypothesized relationships between project complexity and project performance. The results show that project complexity is associated with both the magnitude and variance of overrun. Further, the extent and magnitude of the positive bias towards overrun are moderated by project complexity.

  • In line with the advent of the 4th industrial revolution, project performance such as construction productivity and safety is being improved through the use of various smart technologies in construction projects. However, most studies focus on case analysis according to technology application, and research on performance impact and evaluation methods is insufficient. However, the performance impact of the use of smart construction technology can vary greatly depending on the capabilities and level of support of the organization using the technology. Therefore, this study aims to establish factors that affect the performance of smart construction technology utilization at the organizational level and analyze the performance impact relationship. The results of this study will provide the basis for establishing an organizational system and evaluating performance for the efficient use of smart construction technology in the future.

  • Indonesian construction companies are currently facing high competition both among themselves and with global construction companies. In order to address this issue, the Government of Indonesia has enacted specific regulations and policies relating to the development and implementation of quality management systems (QMSs) ISO 9001 based in construction, acknowledging that the consistency of construction project quality requires a formal quality system as a guarantee to raise quality standards at all project stages. The research has been undertaken to examine the effectiveness of the regulations and policies against several key performance indicators (KPIs) of the ISO 9001 Indonesian construction companies. A comprehensive review of the relevant regulations and policies together with interviews with the Government and National Construction Services Development Board recommend possible additional guidelines and supporting quality system, which intends to measure contractors' project output against defined standards as well as to assess their performance among other similar service providers. The outcomes of the research contribute to the development of the Indonesian own construction industry quality measurement and assessment system.

  • In order to deal with severe competition in the construction market of developing countries, large contractors must continually improve their own performance and operation. Performance measurement is the heart of ceaseless improvement in organizations. Key performance indicators (KPIs) play a key role in measuring project management performance (PMP) of large contractors in developing countries. The main objective of this paper is to identify KPIs, which can be used to measure PMP of contractors, and then analyze the underlying relationships of these KPIs in order to gain insight into PMP of large construction firms in Vietnam construction industry (VCI). Literature reviews and the pilot survey provided 30 KPIs. Fourteen KPIs, which have the mean values higher than 3.0, were considered as important KPIs through a questionnaire survey of 32 professionals. Factor analysis of these KPIs was employed to categorize them. The results of the survey revealed that top six KPIs are construction time and cost, owner satisfaction on services and products, and quality management and project team performance. Factor analysis uncovered that 14 top-ranked KPIs can be grouped under six categories, namely: (1) construction input management, (2) owner satisfaction, (3) cost and quality, (4) manpower management, (5) subcontractor performance and (6) equipment management. The findings of this research can be used as a guideline to measure PMP of contractors in Vietnam as well as in other developing countries. Since contractors from a country to the other country may have the same manner to manage construction projects, the results of this study may be useful not only to practitioners and researchers in Vietnam but also to participants in other developing countries.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify key performance evaluation items and factors that are effective and practical for project management of defense standard standard improvement projects, and to develop a quantitative performance evaluation model. Methods: For the development of a performance evaluation model for defense standard improvement projects, we analyzed past major project performance and derived evaluation items and factors. To increase the objectivity and efficiency of project evaluation, we developed an evaluation index that enables relative evaluation of evaluation targets, and calculated the main importance of evaluation items using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method based on the main opinions of expert groups. Results: The study resulted in the identification of main performance items for defense standard improvement projects, which were classified into defense standard conformity review performance and defense standard improvement performance items. We also simplified the evaluation model by integrating various evaluation items into similar evaluation factors. Additionally, we developed a quantitative evaluation index that enables relative evaluation of the targets and verified the objectivity and validity of the suggested performance evaluation model by reevaluating it using performance data from past commissioned professional institutions Conclusion: Developing a quantitative evaluation model for defense standard improvement projects is expected to provide a means of measuring the effectiveness of the project, and to be used as a tool to determine the appropriateness and effectiveness of medium and long-term project plans.
