“…Finally, schedule management is one of the indicators used to assess the technical capacity of the contractor. The construction schedule of the work performed by the contractor must be in line with the overall progress of the project approved by the project owner (Luong et al, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2018c). The purpose of planning and managing the project schedule is to set the sequence of tasks (Khan et al, 2017).…”

In today's context of international economic integration and globalization, competition is an objective rule in the commodity production system. Competition is also part of the operational mechanisms of the global market economy. To improve enterprise competitiveness, construction companies need to be concerned. The process involves assessing the competitiveness of the contractors operating in construction activities and the publication of the ranking results to create transparency in the selection of the contractors and improve the quality of the bidding competition. This research identified the indicators necessary for assessing the competitiveness of a contractor in civil and industrial engineering in Vietnam. A survey was used to collect the data for the analysis. The results illustrate that the key competitiveness indicators (KCI) aggregated in six main groups: (1) management skills, (2) financing ability, (3) contractor image, (4) human resources strength, (5) relationships and marketing ability, and (6) technical capacity. This result provides useful information necessary to help construction contractors better understand their strengths and weaknesses and then take the related actions necessary to improve and develop their competitive strategies.

“…The construction project schedule and time required must be captured and managed in both individual and assigned tasks using appropriate tools [4]. Delays occur in almost every construction project, and the magnitude of delay varies considerably from project to project, ranging from a few days to several years [5,6]. Many difficulties occur during the execution of a project, and, in practice, the schedule is likely to be altered.…”

The development of the construction industry is considered to be a significant factor contributing to the economic growth of states and countries. However, many studies have shown that the quality of time and schedule management on civil and construction projects has generally been poor. Thus, it is essential to investigate factors that significantly affect the project schedule. This research aims to examine the practice of time management on a particular construction transport project in a developing country, the urban railway project in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with its six main lines. The implementation of this project began in 2010, but so far, only two lines have been constructed. The implementation process has been struck by many difficulties leading to the slow implementation of the entire urban railway system. To investigate the main causes leading to project delays, a research survey was carried out in three main stages: (1) a questionnaire was designed (2) data was collected with the participation of experts, and (3) an analysis of the data verification of the research model. Then, the analytical hierarchy process approach was applied to assess the priority level of the proposed solutions to ensure the effectiveness of the schedule of the entire urban railway project.

The shift from elite education to mass education in Vietnam has met the demand for education for everybody as well as for quality human resource talent for an emerging nation. Under the resource constraint, understanding the quality dimensions of education and its priority level is important for effective and efficient policies. This study was carried out using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to develop quality criteria and a ranking model. Two rounds of in-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen experts in the field, who were rectors, employers, and recruitment specialists to develop the quality framework applied in Vietnamese universities under total quality management (TQM), starting from the input of the senior secondary school leavers, through a teaching process to the output. The first round of interviews were unstructured questionnaires designed to explore the main factors in quality assessment model. The second round affirmed the experts' agreement on the assessment model. Then, fuzzy logic was applied to rank eight criteria in the quality assessment model into priority order: cost, teaching and administrative staff, leadership, curriculum, student-related factors, internationalization, admissions, and campus. The results are critical for identifying the necessary actions to enhance the education quality and to further research on the optimal quality model.
