“…This fragmentation of organisation interface occurring within the traditional procurement method (design-bid-build) has been revealed as having a tendency towards adversarial relationships [37,28] and it could be viewed as one of the 'fragmentation, friction and mistrust' circumstances [38]. This fragmented traditional approach will also create some related problems such as inadequate capture, structuring, prioritization and implementation of client needs; occurrence of late and costly design changes and unnecessary liability claims, occurring as a result of the above; and characterization of the design process with a rigid sequence of activity [11,26,39,42].…”

Abstract. In general, fragmentation within the construction industry arises from two areas within the traditional construction process; the construction work process where the most significant division is in the separation of the design and construction phase, and the construction structure itself. The fragmentation process in traditional contracting practice further hinders the integration of construction knowledge among contractors, diminishing the opportunity for them to influence design decisions. When design professionals fail to consider as to how a contractor would construct the designed project results in scheduling problems, delays, and disputes during the construction process. Moving towards team integration is considered a significant strategy for overcoming the issue. Accordingly, this paper discusses the fragmentation issue in more detail including its definition, and causes and effects to the construction projects. It also explores that the team integration strategy alleviates scheduling problems, and helps avoid delays and disputes during the construction process, preventing harm to overall project performance.

“…Fortune and White (2006) reported the findings of a major review of the sets of factors that are available and outlines the main reservations expressed about the approach. Clarke (1999) presented a method to increase the chance of the success of ERP implementation. Banuelas Coronado and Antony (2002) provided some CSFs for the successful implementation of six sigma projects in organizations.…”

In this survey, we perform a survey on different studies associated with critical success factors in project management. The study covers all related studies from 1987 to 2017 based on the articles published on different value added journals. The survey shows that tremendous efforts have been dedicated on important factors, which influence on the success or failure of enterprise resource planning. The other part of the survey is dedicated for the implementation of Six Sigma projects. Our survey shows that successful implementation of Six Sigma could contribute to the success of projects.2017 Growing Science Ltd.

“…Interrelatedness of practices implies that one cannot change one practice without influencing the other. To successfully change practices then requires a configurational or holistic approach (e.g., Clarke, 1999). Such an approach would consider the complexity and interrelatedness of practices and develop initiatives aimed at changing sets of practices rather than single ones.…”
