In today's competitive world, there are several strategies to deal with the fast changing environment, among which New product development (NPD) is a common strategy. However, almost half of the resources that companies devote to NPD are spent on products that may fail. This issue is particularly highlighted in the pharmaceutical industry mainly because of a long development-time, low success r...

Rework continues to affect both cost and schedule performance throughout the construction industry. The direct costs alone often tally to 5% of the total construction costs. Using the data obtained from 359 construction projects in the Construction Industry Institute database, this paper assesses the impacts of rework on construction cost performance for projects in various categories. In addit...

claimed have became one of the inherent attribute of construction industry. in order to determine the most appropriate strategy for prevention and resolution of these claims, some studies have been conducted to identify claim`s causes but they are common in construction industry. it seems that the reason of making these claims is a better understanding of complexity and the casual variables. in...

"Process Re-engineering" is a concept that has been in operation in the manufacturing industry for a number of years. Often, it involves moving an organisation or industry away from its traditionally functional base to process based structures. It is however a relatively new concept in the UK construction industry. This paper will explore the concept of process re-engineering, evaluate its oppo...

Abstract Project management in construction industry, in many cases, is imperfect with respect to the integration of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risks. This imperfection exhibits itself as complications affecting the riskiness of industrial procedures and is illustrated usually by poor awareness of OHS within project teams. Difficulties on OHS regularly came about in the construction i...
