Maximizing the profitability and minimizing the duration of construction projects in extreme weather regions is a challenging objective that is essential for project success. An optimization model is presented herein for the time-profit trade-off analysis of construction projects under extreme weather conditions. The model generates optimal/near optimal schedules that maximize profit and minimize the duration of construction projects in extreme weather regions. The computations in the model are organized into: (1) a scheduling module that develops practical schedules for construction projects, (2) a profit module that computes project costs (direct, indirect, and total) and project profit, and (3) a multi-objective module that determines optimal/near optimal trade-offs between project duration and profit. One example is used to show the impact of extreme weather on construction time and profit. Another example is used to show the model's ability to generate optimal trade-offs between the time and profit of construction projects under extreme weather conditions.

In the past, a strategic management of work demands has been increasingly challenged to design-build (DB) firms. Such a management is capable of providing sufficient profitable impact of a project on them. Total project profit is mainly related to actual resources, work completion time, amount of rework, and costs. The degree of recycling work packages in the DB project delivery system is used as a measure of the quality of the performed work. However, there are few models available to evaluate the impact of a demand management strategy on the DB firms and to predict its behavior. We propose a decision-making support model as an aid for assessing the amount of rework and for predicting project profit resulting in a convincible demand management strategy. This model is constructed by using a dynamic feedback approach that can analyze the problems arising in complex managerial systems. For the purpose of illustration, widely acceptable strategies were applied into the model to explore their impacts on the DB firms. The results indicate that the model is helpful for the managers in selecting the most appropriate demand management strategy for successfully achieving their objectives.

한국 건설 기업들의 해외 진출이 기하급수적으로 늘어나고 있지만 프로젝트를 수행함에 있어 사업의 수익률은 대기업과 경험이 부족한 중소기업을 비교하였을 때 큰 차이가 나타난다(대기업 5건 중 1건 적자, 중소기업 3건 중 1건 적자 공사). 또한 경험이 부족한 중소, 중견 기업들, 특히 하도급 업체에게는 프로젝트 참여시 사업의 적절성을 판단하기란 어려우며 그에 따른 수익률 또한 예측하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 중소/중견 업체, 특히 하도급 업체 관점에서 해외 건설공사 진출 시 수익률에 영향을 미치는 영향인자를 도출하기 위해 1965년부터 시행된 8,637건의 해외건설 준공데이터 및 문헌고찰 기반으로 수익률에 영향을 미치는 10개 인자를 도출 후 다중회귀분석을 통해 영향인자 간 가중치를 도출하였다. 이를 기반으로 사례기반 추론 기법을 이용하여 수익률 예측 모델을 개발하였으며, Type1 &Type2 error 분석을 통해 검증 결과 11%의 오차율을 보였다. 이러한 수익성 예측 모델을 활용하여 국내 건설 하도급업체들은 해외건설공사 진출 시 해당 프로젝트의 수익성 분포를 사전에 확인하여 양질의 프로젝트를 선별하고, 사업 참여의 의사결정에 중요한 참고자료가 될 것을 기대한다.

International construction projects are exposed to various and complicated risk factors stemming from different political, economical, social, and cultural backgrounds, which make contractors entering into international construction to experience severe losses. It implies that overseas markets do not necessarily secure the high return, which is typically expected to in the high risky attempts. Accordingly, contractors need to evaluate various risk factors faced with overseas construction projects that can possibly aggravate the profitability. This paper aims at establishing a valid groundwork for further research on developing the integrated risk management model. For this end, it analyzes the long-term trend of profitability on total of 3,487 projects performed by Korean global contractors in world-wide construction markets during the last four decades. Then, it investigates the possible factors/causes of bad profit that have affected the profitability significantly through the structured surveys of 90 real overseas projects based on the project-specific information and experiences of Korean contractors in overseas markets. Furthermore, it analyzes relative importance of these factors/causes and identifies the important features expected for the risk management of international construction projects. Finally, vital distinctions between success and failure projects and lessons learned to improve profitability are then distilled.

Most of Korean broiler farms are constructed with vinyl houses. Such types of broiler farms might be cheaper in terms of cost, but poor in terms of environment condition. According to enlargement of broiler farm size, high value production systems or automatic facilities are introduced in this field. However, investment may not always guarantee the profit of the management. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake the investment analysis before decision making for the investment. Under the assumption that 870 Pyoung(≒$3.3㎡) of a broiler farm within 1,740 Pyoung(≒3.3㎡) of land is built with the producing capacity of 50,000 heads of chicken in a time. The total investment is calculated to be 600 million won(1,000 won≒$1.1), and out of them 58.1% is provided by the owner, 31.6% from the government loan, 5.8% from government subsidy, and 5.3% from other agencies or banks. The expected profit of the broiler farm is 64.6 million won(1,000 won≒$1.1) per year. The IRR calculated is 0.0808 which means that the rate to profit of this project would be 8.1%. This also means that for this investment the interest rate of the capital provided should be less than 8.1% per year. Considering that the current opportunity cost of the own capital is 8.5% this project is not so attractive for those who is going to build broiler farms mainly with their own capital. In other words this project would not be profitable, unless the average interest rate of the loans provided for this project is less than 8.1% per year.

Domestic construction companies are suffering from financing difficulties in the wake of the economic slump in Korea and abroad. During this economic slump, real estate investment trusts (REITs), facilitators for improving financing and stimulating construction businesses, have increasingly expanded since their introduction in 2001. However, in terms of growth speed and marketing size, Korean REITs are falling behind those of other nations. The purpose of this study is to suggest a method for composing a portfolio using the Markowitz portfolio selection model to stimulate REITs. The main contents are as follows. First, a comparative analysis was conducted of increased REIT profit with the application of the Markowitz model and the average REIT profit rate from July 3, 2007, to July 21, 2008, during the investment analysis periods. The results showed that the total profit rate from the Markowitz model was about 10% higher than the average REIT profit rate. Second, the sensitivity was analyzed according to the portfolio's data-gathering and replacement cycle to measure the optimum cycle and yield. The six-mouth profit data collection period showed about 16% higher profits with the Markowitz model than with the REITs. The two-week portfolio change period resulted in about 11% higher profits with the Markowitz model than with the REITs.

본 연구에서는 군수품 무역대리점과 관련하여 크게 두가지의 연구를 수행하였다. 첫째는 군수품 무역대리점의 활용 효과도를 정량적으로 측정하기 위해 방위사업 종사자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고, 두 번째는 중개수수료의 적정 기준을 제시하기 위해 실제 무기체계 국외구매사업의 사례에서 군수품 무역대리점이 실제로 활동한 내역을 분석함과 동시에 통계청에서 발표한 일반 상품중계업의 평균 영업이익이 군수품 중개업에도 보장될 수 있도록 적용하였다. 그 결과 군수품 무역대리점의 효과도 측면의 설문조사에서는 무역대리점을 활용하는 것이 활용하지 않는 것 대비 1.07배 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다. 적정 중개수수료와 관련된 분석에서는 중/소형사업과 대형 사업에서 상이한 결과가 나왔는데, 중/소형사업의 경우 총사업비의 5.1~8.7%가 적정 중개수수료인 반면, 대형사업의 경우 총사업비의 1.2~1.8%가 적정 중개수수료로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 군수품 무역대리점을 활용시 활용하지 않는 것 대비 어느 정도 효용성이 있는 것으로 확인되었고, 만약 정부가 적정 중개수수료율을 제시한다면 지금까지 논의 되었던 것처럼 고정된 특정 값을 일괄적으로 제시하는 것은 현실적이지 않고 총사업비 규모에 따라서 그 요율을 탄력적으로 적용하되, 사업의 성격을 분석하여 필수 활동비 소요를 사전에 파악하여 가감하는 것이 적절함을 알 수 있었다.

It only takes one failed project to wipe out an entire year's profit, when the projects are not managed efficiently. Additionally, escalating costs of materials and a competitive local construction market make subcontractors a challenge. Subcontractors have finite resources that should be allocated simultaneously across many projects in a dynamic manner. Significant scheduling problems are posed by concurrent multi-projects with limited resources. The objective of this thesis is to identify the effect of productivity changes on the total cost resulting from shifting crews across projects using a descriptive model. To effectively achieve the objective, this study has developed a descriptive cost model for a subcontractor with multi-resources and multi-projects. The model was designed for a subcontractor to use as a decision-making tool for resources allocation and scheduling. The model identified several factors affecting productivity. Moreover, when the model was tested using hypothetical data, it produced some effective combinations of resource allocation with associated total costs. Furthermore, a subcontractor minimizes total costs by balancing overtime costs, tardiness penalties, and incentive bonus, while satisfying available processing time constraints.
