“…To continuously improve performance, benchmarking is typically used as a strategic tool for managing industrial facilities project delivery [3,4]. In recent decades, benchmarking has enabled construction firms to create the competitiveness necessary to improve organizational performance [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…In recent decades, benchmarking has enabled construction firms to create the competitiveness necessary to improve organizational performance [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Most benchmarking approaches use lagging indicators, which typically measure performance outcomes after project completion, to assess cost, schedule, changes, safety, and productivity, the traditional goals of project management.…”

“…Most studies focus on the construction phase rather than other project phases or the entire project delivery process. Therefore, the construction industry needs a more flexible and dynamic benchmarking approach for sustainability, which measures and compares management capability of project organization using leading indicators during an on-going construction project [3,4].…”

“…To address these issues, the Construction Industry Institute (CII) developed the "10-10 Program", a phase-based benchmarking program that evaluates processes, practices, and organizations in construction project delivery [3,4]. The "phase-based" benchmarking evaluates organizational capability, performance, and practices at the project-phase level to compare them with each project phase for similar construction projects delivery [3,4].…”

Despite the efforts for sustainability studies in building and infrastructure construction, the sustainability issues in industrial construction remain understudied. Further, few studies evaluate sustainability and benchmark sustainability issues in industrial construction from a management perspective. This study presents a phase-based benchmarking framework for evaluating sustainability practices use focusing on industrial facilities project. Based on the framework, this study quantifies and assesses sustainability practices use, and further sorts the results by project phase and major project characteristics, including project type, project nature, and project delivery method. The results show that sustainability practices were implemented higher in the construction and startup phases relative to other phases, with a very broad range. An assessment by project type and project nature showed significant differences in sustainability practices use, but no significant difference in practices use by project delivery method. This study contributes to providing a benchmarking method for sustainability practices in industrial facilities projects at the project phase level. This study also discusses and provides an application of phase-based benchmarking for sustainability in industrial construction.

Bad smells are certain flaws in the structure of the code that might not disturb the normal functioning of a program but negatively affects the software quality. Developers use refactoring as a corrective measure for the treatment of bad smells. The current study aids the developers in the application of refactoring by identifying the critical classes, that is, classes that are challenging to maintain and are of degraded quality. In this study, 10 quality metrics and 10 bad smells have been selected to conduct an investigation on different releases of five open‐source systems. A new metric, severity factor (SF) has been introduced that categorizes the classes of the selected systems into four criticality levels—severe, major, mid, and low. Also, the relationship between SF, criticality levels, and the refactoring operations has been analyzed. The findings show that 60% of the total classes have been affected by bad smells, and long statement is the most dominant smell present in 27.6% of the classes. The results show 84% of the refactoring operations have been performed on highly critical classes. Thus, the SF metric plays a crucial role in driving the developer's attention to the critical classes that need to be treated urgently.
