“…For example, factor 58, strategic quality management, has an effect of 58 per cent, pointing to its criticality and if not properly managed, may lead to disastrous situations. The effects of these failures have been highlighted by Barber et al (2000), Kagioglou et al (2001) and recently by AlMaian et al (2015). The factors in yellow and green zones should be observed with less intensive management effort.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the critical decision factors of public–private partnership (PPP) concession which is complex due to a number of uncertain and random variables. To identify critical factors contributing to determination of concession period, this study reviews the published literature. It also identifies countries contributing most in PPP research. As a whole, it provides a mutually beneficial scenario by formulating a decision-making matrix. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the literature published during the period 2005-2015. A two-staged methodology is followed on retrieved scholarly papers: first, countries contributing to PPP are identified along with authors and affiliated institutions. Second, using frequency analysis of shortlisted critical factors, yearly appearance and stakeholders affected, a decision matrix is formulated. Findings The most contributing country toward PPP research is China, followed by the USA both in terms of country- and author-based contribution. In total, 63 factors are identified that affect PPP concession out of which, 8 per cent are highly critical and 21 per cent are marginally critical for decision-making. Practical implications Critical factors of PPP concession period will be identified with the help of decision-making matrix. This will help in adequate resource allocation for handling critical factors ensuring project success. Researchers may also understand the research trends in the past decade to usher ways for future improvements. Originality/value This paper reports findings of an original and innovative study, which identifies critical success factors of PPP concession period and synthesizes them into a decision-making matrix. Many of the previous studies have identified and ranked the critical factors but such a synthesis has not been reported.

“…Therefore, inspection and workmanship standards are quite important to achieve quality (McMinimee et al, 2009;Wambugu, 2013). Defects and reworks are considered a dual generator of wastes, either in terms of the needed resources or on the turnover not generated during the period of corrective works (AlMaian et al, 2015). Bajjou and Chafi (2020) also revealed that defects and rework also have a negative effect on the synchronization of planned tasks.…”

PurposeThis study highlights the findings of an empirical study to investigate waste factors (WFs) affecting the performance and delivery of construction projects in developing countries. The objectives of this study are to identify non-physical WFs in developing nations and rank the identified factors based on their degree of influence on the key performance indicators (KPIs) of cost, quality and time.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 34 WFs were identified through a detailed literature review and consolidated using semi-structured interviews with construction practitioners. The statistical analysis involved a normality test using the Shapiro–Wilk test to determine if sample data have been drawn from a normally distributed population, ranking the WFs using the Frequency Index (FI), Severity Index (SI) and Importance Index (IMPI), ranking the WFs based on their effect on the project KPIs of cost, quality and time, and identify clustering structures for the identified WFs to using factor analysis (FA).FindingsThe results revealed ineffective planning and scheduling, rework/repair of defective work and resource quality problems (human, material and equipment) as the three most important WFs affecting construction projects. The factor analyses showed that WFs can be grouped into five interrelated components, suggesting the need for integrated and holistic strategies to overcome the identified WF.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the effects of WFs on construction projects is a first step towards designing holistic solutions to ensuring projects deliver value to the clients and other stakeholders. The findings of this study provide direction to construction practitioners on where to focus appropriate strategies to manage the identified WFs effectively and, therefore, improve the productivity of construction projects.Originality/valueThis study provides the first holistic analysis of WFs affecting the productivity of construction projects in developing countries.

“… System coordination with suppliers and customers. Companies that need to coordinate their processes with suppliers and/or maintain relations with customers (for example, to develop new processes or products) may be more interested in adopting quality initiatives more efficiently (Briscoe et al, 2005;AlMaian et al, 2015) in order to benefit from these relationships with suppliers and/or customers.…”

“…The adoption of quality standards and other quality initiatives is an important strategy for many organizations to improve their current management system (AlMaian, Needy, Walsh & Alves, 2015) and competitiveness (Rubio-Andrada, Alonso-Almeida, & Rodríguez-Antón, 2011; Castka, Prajogo, Sohal, & Yeung, 2015;Razieri, Torabi, Tabrizian, & Zahiri, 2018). Most previous work on quality standards assumes a homogeneous adoption of the standard; that is, they consider that all organizations adopt quality standards in the same way (Bayo-Moriones, Merino-Díaz-de-Cerio, & Escamilla- de-León, 2011;Mak, 2011;Alonso-Almeida, Rodríguez-Antón, & Rubio-Andrada, 2012;Djekic, Dimitrijevic, & Tomic, 2017).…”

This work examines the literature on the internalization of quality management standards via database searches (Web of Science, Emerald, ScienceDirect, and ABI/Inform-ProQuest). This review describes the characteristics of the relevant literature (theoretical or empirical, countries of study, and methods used), the internalization process (two constructs to measure internalization and items under each construct), drivers (reasons for seeking certification, quality culture, leadership, and training), and the effects of internalization (customer, people, and social results). Engineering managers can consider these aspects and associated drivers when they seek to improve the current processes and performance of their firms. On the basis of this review, this article identifies gaps in the literature and proposes future research areas.
