“…Therefore, a response rate of 12.4% has been reached, which is deemed acceptable ( Monzon, Julio, & Garcia-Martinez, 2020 ). The respondents have been classified according to several demographic aspects ( de Oliveira et al, 2021 ), such as the number of years of experience as a proxy of the level of expertise ( Arditi, Mangano, & De Marco, 2015 ), and the role profile ( De Marco, Mangano, & De Magistris, 2021 ). Respondents have been grouped as Academics to consider the theoretical perspective, Consultants, or Managers so as to include both internal and external business points of view.…”

“…Based on these principles, this study aims to highlight the advantages of using an already proven professional PM model, rather than proposing a new theoretical one. Apart from solutions proposed by researchers [51][52][53][54][55] or companies [56][57][58][59][60], two PM associations are of particular interest in this field: the IPMA (www.ipma.world, accessed on 1 May 2022) and the Project Management Institute (PMI) (www.pmi.org, accessed on 1 May 2022). They are the oldest, most widespread PM organizations, with the largest number of members, the highest amount of certified credentials and the greatest influence on administrations around the world.…”

The Influence of Knowledge on Managing Risk for the Success in Complex Construction Projects: The IPMA Approach

et al. 2022

Organizations undertaking construction projects often deal with uncertainty and complexity. Risks include a wide range of occurrences that can lead to project failure. However, these difficulties may be minimized if risks are properly managed. In addition, knowledge management may emerge as a key element in facing unforeseen events and detecting the actions that are working well in other projects. In this context, this study intends to demonstrate the influence of managing organizational knowledge on risk management and the impact of both on the success of projects and associated businesses. To this end, a questionnaire was distributed among construction technicians, practitioners and managers in order to assess the importance of factors managing knowledge and risk and of success criteria. Thanks to the participation of almost four hundred respondents, cause-and-effect relationships are characterized by means of structural equation modeling, statistically confirming them. The specific links between the knowledge-management projects and the skills and abilities to face risks provided by the International Project Management Association (IPMA) standards, with a relation of 0.892 out of 1, justify the 75.1% of the success of the venture. These findings prove that the application of IPMA proposals enhances the required knowledge that leads to improved completion and delivery of complex construction projects in risky environments.

“…The automotive industry has always been a significant contributor to the global economy since it represents one of the largest manufacturing industries [1]. In Europe, this industry represents 6.1% of the total workforce and large percentage [2] of total production and capital investment in the manufacturing sector-a turnover over 7% of EU gross domestic product (GDP) [3]. Due to the high number of companies operating in the manufacturing sector, competitiveness between them has been increasing, motivating the awareness that to remain active in the market and to differentiate from different competitors, they would have to invest in innovation techniques among their operational areas [4].…”

Key Performance Indicators Selection through an Analytic Network Process Model for Tooling and Die Industry

2021

In the last few decades, the fast technological development has caused high competitiveness among companies, encouraging a pursuit for strategies that allow them to gain competitive advantage, such as the monitoring of performance by using key performance indicators (KPIs). However, its selection process is complex since there are several KPIs available to evaluate performance and different relationships between them. To overcome this challenge, the use of a multiple criteria decision-making model (MCDM) was proposed, namely the analytic network process (ANP) through which a reduced number of them are prioritized. To identify which KPIs are suitable for the press cast and die manufacturing industry, a literature review was made, and 58 unique KPIs were identified. Thus, to validate the proposed methodology, a case study was carried out in an automotive press molding industry. With the implementation of the proposed ANP model it was possible to identify 9 KPIs that ensure the correct molding process monitoring, while being aligned with the Balanced Scorecard criteria. The results show that the proposed model is suitable for selecting KPIs for the molding industry.
