“…Currently, game theory is had extensive employments in whole fields of social science, logic, systems science, and computer science also ( [17][18][19][20][21]). In construction management, game theory has been employed in various aspects, from the preconstruction stage to the construction period, to explain and predict outcomes, such as: claim decision model [22], risk management [23], design payment mechanism [24], subcontractor cooperation [25].…”

Nowadays, the scale of construction projects has been larger and more complex, the tender preparation is often costly to the bidder thus. It is becoming one of the primary barriers for attracting bidder’s involvement, as well as contractor's encouraging high effort. Bid compensation concept is proposed as a reward to foster the bidder participating in a higher endeavor. Game theory is ideal for modeling the dynamics and deriving high-effort strategies for bid compensation. The experiment results have demonstrated the owner can gain benefit by using rational compensation. The sensitivity analysis also shows the interest correlation between the owner and bidders. By choosing a proper strategy based on Nash Equilibrium solutions, both the owner and bidders can reach to win-win situation.

“…This theory further justifies the inclusion of all the required stakeholders in the LPS meeting as an essential requirement for LPS implementation at the project level in the proposed LPS-PCA. In reality, the engagement of the required stakeholders supports the development of the reliable plan (Javanmardi et al, 2017). For instance, Javanmardi et al, (2017) found that synergy between subcontractors reduces variability and improves plan reliability.…”

For instance, Javanmardi et al, (2017) found that synergy between subcontractors reduces variability and improves plan reliability. A related theory that supports this view is that proposed by Hayek, (1945) in economics where it was argued that the knowledge needed for making a decision is dispersed among people.…”

Development of Approach to Support Construction Stakeholders in Implementation of the Last Planner System

The implementation of the Last Planner System (LPS) has gained prominence in the construction industry and its influence on the production system seems to be rapid and significant. However, recent studies reveal that the application of LPS principles on projects is fragmented. The aim of the current study, therefore, is to develop an approach to support construction stakeholders in the implementation of the LPS. Thirty semi-structured interviews and three in-depth case studies were conducted with construction stakeholders. The study developed a non-prescriptive but all-inclusive approach for supporting construction stakeholders in the implementation of the LPS on construction projects. This study contributes to knowledge in engineering management as it provides a new insight into how to apply the LPS holistically in the management of engineering projects. The study further provides evidence into the current practice and performance of the LPS in the management of civil engineering project as demonstrated in the case studies. Finally, the identification of the three "levels of support" (organisational, project, and external enabler) provides a focal point for

“…IDCS practices have not been well-identified in the literature, but there are some insights which describe the potential links with this practice. For example, one case study details IDCS practices that were applied to a design-to-fabrication methodology for structural rebar using building information modeling (BIM) tools under a Construction Manager/General Contractor contractual strategy [7].…”

Prime contracting models for a wide variety of Project Delivery Methods (PDM) have been described with great detail in the practice-oriented and academic literature. However, the same depth of understanding about contractual relationships between general and specialty contractors is less known, especially as specialty contractors are being increasingly involved in earlier project phases. The objective of this research is to describe subcontracting models, owner involvement scenarios, and their variations across the United States. Results of a nationwide survey and follow-up semi-structured interviews with industry practitioners indicate many subcontracting models are currently in use and that project owner involvement is widely variable. Presentation attendees should expect to gain a greater understanding of each of the identified subcontracting models as well as to learn the advantages, disadvantages, regional variations, and owner involvement under each.
