Abstract Sustainable buildings were introduced to lessen the negative impact of on their users, occupants, communities, and environment, increase contractors’ productivity profit margins. However, despite prospects benefits sustainable buildings, instances reworking in have been recorded by construction companies. This research developed a questionnaire instrument that included 20 determinants ...

<p><span>Industrial reports show massive cost overruns associated with software projects. The of reworks constitutes a large portion the overall cost, reflecting substantial challenge in control. Earned value management (EVM) is most recognized model for project However, it shows many limitations forecasting leading to considerable Nevertheless, major EVM limitation found its inabil...

Concurrent engineering or overlapping activities is a business strategy for schedule compression on large development projects. Design parameters and tasks from every aspect of a product’s development process and their interdependencies are overlapped and worked on in parallel. Concurrent engineering suffers from negative effects such as excessive rework and increased social and communication c...

In the given paper I present the information regarding quality metrics. Different quality factors can be imposing with relation to cost, schedule and rework. It’s very important to make quality assurance plans. For that you have to cover many milestones which can be represented in time sheets. The main characteristics of the quality models have covered in this paper.

The dominant narrative in a growing literature about China’s environment conceptualizes a series of recent large-scale ecological construction projects, particularly in western China, as evidence of a teleological graduation into eco-rational modernity, in which environmental improvement and economic growth are intertwined in a virtuous, mutually reinforcing circle. Such ecological modernizatio...

Fagan inspections are a structured review of development documents that consists of individual preparation, a meeting and rework by the author of the document. Industrial experience shows that the inspection meeting can be improved by EMS support. The industrial results generate many research questions, relevant for both the EMS and the software engineering community. This paper outlines an exp...

This study examines an imperfect production and inspection system with customer return and defective disposal. We develop an optimal lot sizing model with production and inspection quality investment, incorporating all the quality costs. We find the optimal lot size, rework frequency, defective proportion, and Type I and Type II inspection error proportions which minimize the total quality cost...
