Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan, many construction sites must limit the number of people on the jobsite or conduct work independently to avoid the spread of COVID-19. The quality of construction may be in doubt with unclear job handover, especially when workers have COVID-19 infection that should be isolated immediately. On top of that, first-level subcontractor self-inspections are crucial parts of construction process management, and neglecting inspection processes can lead to construction errors and poor quality. To improve current quality inspection methods for private projects, a literature analysis was conducted to identify construction quality management issues that are faced in private housing projects. In-depth interviews with small and medium-sized subcontractors of private housing projects were performed to understand the quality management methods that they use in practice. Next, improvement measures for quality management were formulated and a simplified checklist for private project subcontractors, based on the practical feedback obtained, was created. Finally, the AppSheet platform was used to develop an inspection application for construction, and a subcontractor was invited to confirm its feasibility. The paperless design avoids redundant human contact, and the results of this study greatly facilitate construction practice, particularly during the pandemic. The main contribution of this study is its investigation of the procedures that are used by private project subcontractors to inspect their work for quality management; its results can serve as a reference for academics in evaluating construction quality management levels and improving the management of work by subcontractors to promote safety and health.

“…Several organizations have seen the potential for using lowcode platforms for web system and app development. Wijesekara et al, (2020) developed an electronic record keeping system at a pediatric clinic in Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka with the aim of obtaining a user friendly electronic DBMS for record keeping, audit and data analysis.The group used googlesheet to create data table as the backend which was then linked to AppSheet for the front end component of the app. The construction industry has also seen the application of low-code in the digitization of its daily processes with the aim of improving the industry.The authors in (Martinez & Cisterna, 2023) discuss the development and deployment of a low-code/AI solution that automates the data processing of paper delivery notes on-site .They observed a significant change in the processing time in comparison to their previous process.The low-code powered process showed a 78% reduction in process time.…”

App Sheet for Course Attendance Monitoring in Higher Learning Institutions: A Citizen Developer Approach

Low-code and no-code development platforms have been around for a long time, but they have only recently become popular. Platforms like Appian and Mendix make users with no coding experience to build complex applications. Citizen developers have been on the rise since the inception of low-code/ no-code app development. However, this phenomenon has not yet benefited learning institutions in Tanzania. Many of the tasks performed by instructors are repetitive and time-consuming, such tasks include recording and tracking student attendance. A traditional approach to record student attendance is performed by asking every student to sign on an attendance list that passes through all students during the beginning of lectures. This approach is inefficient in term of time and reliability especially in a large class, where a student can sign on the attendance list for other students who are not present in the class. Several automated attendance systems have been proposed based on biometric recognition, barcode, and other technologies such as mobile device. However, all of the previous developed systems require programming skills which sometimes become difficult for Citizen developer to come up with such system. AppSheet as a no-code development platform provides features that empowers non-developers to customize their applications to suit their specific organizational needs. It enables users to create intelligent actions and interfaces autonomously. Thus, this paper explore the potential of App Sheet by proposing the Attendance Monitoring Application (CAMA) to automate student attendance processes for learning institutions in Tanzania. The results have shown that the CAMA can be used as a solution to assist course managers in registraton and monitoring of students perticipation in the course.

“…A few studies have been conducted on a real business operation in which the mobile application was developed in order to smooth the operation and minimize risk. A pediatric clinic in Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka has successfully used an electronic database management system (E-DBMS) which was developed using Google AppSheet and Google Sheets [15]. This application (Google Sheets and Appsheet) has also been used by a lecturer at Politeknik Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin to develop an application for their student coursework marking system.…”

“…Besides using a function of medium for input data, Appsheet has also been applied for rendering information from Google Sheets documents that enable data to be visualized and referred to [18]- [19]. Various sectors have proven that Google Sheet, partnered with Google Appsheet, is able to manage data collection and storage, such as in the fields of education, hospitals, and health, as well as COVID-19 data [15]- [20].…”

The automotive industries in Malaysia have grown well and developed many suppliers in their supply chain including Small Medium Enterprise (SME). The order handling process at a supplier's factory has become one of the most critical areas in the supply chain. Adaptation to technology such as IoT enables the automotive supplier to better manage their customer orders and avoid mistakes that affect the supply chain. In order to improve the order processing activities, a study has focused on developing a mobile device application using Google Appsheet and Google Sheets as a cost-effective system for managing supply orders. A study was conducted in one of Malaysian SME automotive companies, which manages the orders manually by using a log book with a lot of recording and redundant work. By using Google Sheets, all the information and data involved in order processing activities is imported and digitized. Then, a mobile application is created using Appsheet so that the ordering activities and processing can be completed on a mobile device. All information gathered by the mobile app (Google Appsheet) is immediately saved in Google Sheets on an Excel-based database, allowing for further data analysis. The research conducted has managed to integrate these two applications into a system for Malaysia's SME factory to manage the ordering activities in the automotive supply chain. This system enables the user to shorten their order processing time since data is captured in real time and mistakes due to manual error can be avoided.
