A model for project communication medium evaluation and selection

Abstract

Operations management within an enterprise requires teamwork from its members, as the efficacy developed by teamwork often far exceeds the sum of individual contributions. Project management is the most effective management method for the development of teamwork. A majority of previous researches in project management are focused on the managerial techniques, while neglecting the communications issues discovered in the aspect of member behaviors; however, the communication performance of the project members is one of the key factors contributing to the success or failure of the project. This study intends to focus on the communications among members in the project team, explore the leading influencing factors, and then develop a quantitative communication model for project management to evaluate the performance of project communication. Finally, this study uses the LINGO software to solve the mathematical programming model, and further obtain the best communication performance value based on two conditions, including communication in normal time and urgent time, thereby assisting the top management in selecting the most appropriate approach in project communications.

Strategies for Communicating Health and Safety Information on Construction

“…Communication also informs them about the use of personal protective equipment, warning about disasters, and first aid procedures. Communication of information is important in enhancing the performance of construction projects as researchers have hypothesized that a positive correlation exists between effective communication and safely delivery of construction projects (Ceric, 2011;Zulch, 2012;Chen et al, 2013;Ramsing, 2013, Liao et al, 2014Adebiyi, 2018). Since safely delivery of construction projects relies on effective communication of information on H&S, it is, however, vital that all the participants can communicate.…”

R&D roadmap for process robotization driven to the digital transformation of the industry 4.0

“…Associated with the competitiveness, an integrated work team that works in concurrent engineering approach is fundamental for design, manufacturing and deployment of automated systems. It favors the communication and exchange of skilled knowledge between people, helping to define an excellent automated process at the first time, based on the teamwork assisted by the sum of individual contributions (Chen et al, 2013).…”
