Flexibility Implementation in Construction Process Engineering

Abstract

The disturbances of processes in progress are in construction production engineering basic problem making difficult planning both under in relation to time, as and costs. The conception of introduction of flexibility came into result of observation of problems alongside realization of runways, the roads of circling, customs terminals, driveway as well as assembly of facade of elevation of high buildings, where the serious factor was the perturbative weather. It seems, that having at command the different options of realization (learning e. g. on modification of process and/or the limitation of influence of disturbances -in case of negative scenario, as and the utilization the chances -in case of optimistic scenario) one could reach considerably better effects than depending on of realization based on one option ( traditional method).

“…It should be noted that the aim of Table 1 is not to provide a comprehensive list of all researchers who have previously identified the said factors to be responsible for project failure but to show that at least, there is evidence of their existence in extant literature.

“…The art of project design, which must be linked more realistically to the objectives, needs and conditions of developing countries, is to incorporate into the project a combination of existing and new "traits" suitable to the particular country and the particular project ( [9]; [25]). But because this is not always the case, development projects fail because of inappropriate and technically deficient designs, as reported by many authors such as Paslawski [4], Rotner [9] and Rondinelli [25].…”

“…They are thus not immune to failure. Project management literature has identified a wide spectrum of factors such as complexity of projects, uncertainty and risk in handling projects, directionless process, inability of the client to describe the project, poor project design and poor leadership, uncoordinated built environment professionals and inappropriate staff skills, unrealistic time-scales and cost estimation, poor procurement methods, failure to plan and lack of pre-project planning [4] as some causes of project failure. Factors identified as essential to the success of projects, usually referred to as "Critical Success Factors (CSFs)" are also replete in literature.…”

Flexible Management for Concrete Curing at Low Temperature Based on Learning from Cases

“…The monographs de Neufville [23] and X [24] are very valuable sources of information on the elasticity of construction.…”

Automation and robotics in construction: International research and achievements

“…Some articles written on the basis of the proceedings papers from ISARC-2008 [8] are already published in periodicals such as the Journal of Vibroengineering [9][10][11], Journal of Civil Engineering and Management [12][13][14], Technological and Economic Development of Economy [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], International Journal of Strategic Property Management [23][24][25][26][27][28], Transport [29,30], The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridges Engineering [31], Journal of Business Economics and Management [32] and Engineering Economics [33,34]. Additionally some symposium participants published articles in Automation in Construction [35][36][37][38][39].…”
