Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the management of the production potential of a construction company. The importance of the production potential as one of the most significant elements of the organization resource base is substantiated in the article. Theoretical foundations of the concept of “production potential” and the element structure of the production potential are considered. The management of the production potential is considered from the point of view of the system approach. Taking into account the specifics of the construction sector, the structure of the managing subsystems, such as the target, supporting, managed and managing ones, is represented. The implementation of management decisions in the system of management of the productive potential is to ensure an increase in the management effectiveness of all elements of the production potential, contribute to its further development, and enhance efficiency of a construction company as a whole.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to demonstrate the need for a structured business process improvement effort needed while restructuring organisational processes within a construction company. Through the longitudinal study, the study also highlights the importance of a continuous improvement initiative to sustain such an improvement effort. Design/methodology/approach The research followed an action research and the case study approach using semi-structured interviews and group workshops within the case organisation. Overall, six departments were analysed, 35 interviews with senior and middle managers were conducted, existing business process documents were studied and processes were documented. The data were compiled using a process modelling software and Business Process Markup Notation methodology. Additionally, a longitudinal analysis following the completion of process modelling exercise was carried out over a period of eight years. Findings The overall study highlights the importance of business process management (BPM) for construction organisations. The case study also demonstrated that even smaller business units and its processes affected the overall value chain in a major way and the importance to analyse the process interdependencies between organisational units. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the research was that it is based on a single-case-study company based in the UK. More research is needed with other organisations with different work practices and culture and geographic location. Practical implications Primarily, the research outlines specific steps taken during a structured process improvement exercise in a construction company, including procedures for collecting data, developing process maps and analysis of data. The longitudinal study highlights the challenges in sustaining such an initiative. For practitioners, strengths and weaknesses of various process improvement methods and a detailed description of a BPM implementation can be used as a guideline for future projects. From a research point of view, the paper highlights the need for deeper and long-term analysis of such initiatives and the importance of immersion of researchers within the environment. Originality/value The paper provides deeper insights into the structured process improvement exercise within a construction company. Second and more importantly, the longitudinal study is one of its kind in the construction industry to shed light on the factors affecting sustainability of such initiatives.

Abstract:

Constructing a new building or any other civil engineering project from scratch is a challenge for the construction industry as novelty designs may be produced by designers but they are often constructed by low skilled labor on site. The unique and sometimes complex nature of the construction sector arises because a large number of different professional groups have different interests and requirements, which often conflict with one another. In principle, each construction company aims to construct a project without any defects from the very first activity on site right up to final completion. This aim is almost impossible to achieve throughout the entire construction duration because of many factors, including: low skilled labor, difficult site conditions, and incomplete designs, varying quality cultures in each company, poor communication and poor management. Therefore, construction defects are things which we can assume to have occurred on the site. Defects occurring during the construction process are sometimes costly and preventable mistakes. Research has shown that correcting defective components that are identified late in the construction process or during the maintenance period accounts for approximately 15% of the total construction costs. This paper presents a case study of the defects that occurred during a motorway construction project as a consequence of poor workmanship by an untrained workforce and it aims to raise awareness of the need for on-the-job training for quality managers in order to minimize defective works and reduce the project costs spent on correcting them. It also identifies the various factors that cause construction defects and suggests measures that can be taken to reduce them.

Abstract:

Subject area Human resource management. Study level/applicability The case can be used on courses related to human resources management (HRM), which are offered in management programmes like MBA/PGDBM. The case could also be used in management development programmes, seminars and workshops that have HRM as a component of the programme. The case can be used effectively for classroom discussions as well as in distance learning programmes. Case overview The case looks into the HRM practices at a leading Indian construction company – ABC Constructions. The case tries to explain the management perspectives behind the people practice initiatives undertaken by the company in order to recruit/retain and nurture talent. The case also explains the basic principles underlying its human resource policies. It tries to explain the initiatives taken by ABC Constructions to meet the challenges posed by the changing business environment, as the company moves beyond the borders of the country of its initial operations. The case provides an overview of unique challenges faced by a company in the Indian construction industry, where a significant number of people executing its projects are not its permanent employees. Expected learning outcomes The students would get a fairly good understanding of existing good practices in the field of human resource management, especially in the context of a multifaceted and labour intensive construction industry in the Indian corporate scenario. Anecdotes of actual experiences with respect to people management would facilitate greater understanding of the complexities involved at the grass root level of functioning and implementation. Theoretical inputs relating to training could be better understood through the customised programmes provided by the company for its diverse workforce. The HR challenges faced by the top management as a company grows and expands to new markets can better be understood. Supplementary materials Teaching notes are available for educators only.

Abstract:

As a result of many years of generalizations, fairly simple formulas have been developed in countries with developed market economies for determining the value of an evaluated company using the method of industry coefficients, which is not widely used in Russia, since these coefficients are calculated not for all sectors of the economy. The magazine “Financial Bulletin: Finance, Taxes, Insurance, Accounting” describes a method by Khasanov R.Kh., which determines the value of shares and industry ratios of some companies. Using the main provisions, this article presents the calculation of the value of a construction company and the calculation of industry coefficients for the “construction” direction.

Abstract:

The construction of a dynamic model of risk management for a construction company is considered, which can significantly increase the efficiency of management decisions. To build a dynamic model, the most common approaches to management are considered: process, system and situational. To effectively assess the risks of a construction company, a two-stage model for assessing static and dynamic indicators was used. At the initial stage, the probability of risk values for groups of factors (financial, engineering, technological, economic, marketing) was determined. At the second stage, the degree of influence of groups of factors on the overall probability of risk occurrence is determined. As a result, for each of the analyzed indicators that determine the risk, a sequence of its most probable values is formed at the moment tk.

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological support for the formation and implementation of the content strategy of a construction company. The article considers the formation of content strategy, its place in the management of communications of the enterprise. The following methods were used in the course of the research: the method of statistical analysis (for the analysis of the tendency of the real estate market development of Ukraine); analysis, synthesis, logical and theoretical generalization – to specify the factors of supply and demand in the real estate market; graphical method, table method (to visualize the results of the study); method of calculating specific indicators of communicative activity (CPC (Cost Per Click), CPA (Cost Per Action), CTR (Click Through Rate)) for analysing trends in traffic to the company's website and identifying alternative sources of traffic. The specifics of developing a content strategy taking into account the peculiarities of the company's construction industry are shown. An analysis of trends in the real estate market of Ukraine is carried out based on official statistics. The dynamics of the volume of construction works is analysed, the housing price indices in Ukraine are determined and the factors of supply and demand in the real estate market are specified. The analysis of communicative efficiency of the web-system of the construction company is carried out, as a result of which, measures for improvement of management of its external communications by substantiation of variants of advancement on the Internet are developed. This is done by analysing trends in traffic to the company's website and identifying alternative sources of traffic. The developed measures will increase the efficiency of management of the construction company. The article proposed a procedure for analysing the web-system of a construction company based on attendance indicators and search activity, which allows identifying alternative sources of traffic and developing appropriate measures to manage communications of the enterprise in order to achieve their efficiency. The practical significance lies in the fact that the developed recommendations for the formation of the communication strategy of the construction company can be further used to intensify the promotion of the company's services in the real estate market and attract investment.

Abstract:

Most of the existing supply chain management methods and systems are being transferred to construction regardless of the specifics of companies in the construction sector. Numerous complex factors such as ecological, social and economic are required for the continuous evaluation in the modern management of construction sector. The provided studies and the research to examine sustainable supply chain management in construction sector from a holistic perspective, concentrating on mostly long-term sustainable decision-making by the construction company rather than being centered only on the supply chain management for construction projects. This paper identifies a list of sustainability indicators for examining the supply chains of construction companies. Those indicators were categorized and assigned to one or a couple groups by reviewing their use in the previous literature agreeing to the reasoning to way better reflect the SSCM principle of their use in construction companies. The use of indicators can help develop strategies for the construction sector for sustainable policy makers and construction company managers.

Abstract:

The construction organizations lack adaptive infrastructure. It is required to use more intensively SMART-technologies of design and construction. Purposes of this article: a) the system analysis of categories "competitiveness", "stability", "rating of the company" for the construction organizations; b) to construct and investigate economic and mathematical model of competitiveness of the construction organization; c) to determine parameters of self-organization of construction company; d) to construct an identification algorithm for model. These new tasks also answer the purposes of modern construction business, problems of forecasting of its development. Using methods of the system analysis and modeling, in work three levels of the analysis of construction business are considered: macrolevel (level of the state), mesolevel (level of the region) and microlevel (level of the company). For example, 10 various classes of competitiveness of construction companies are offered. It improves the classification used traditionally. The new economic and mathematical model on the basis of production functions of type of Cobb-Douglas is constructed. The algorithm of its identification on the basis of situational scenarios is also developed. The algorithm finds parameters which will allow to define competitiveness of construction company a priori. The offered research has a development, for example, is possible to use for the forecast of adaptation of the enterprise.

Abstract:

The article gives a model description of the management processes of the investment activity of a construction company that develops and implements innovative construction projects in the conditions of an acute shortage of external investment resources. Optimization of the series of managerial decisions for the construction of algorithms for managing the innovation and investment activity of a construction enterprise was carried out taking into account the functioning of the investment flow management system: soft management, risk management, crash management. The schemes of restructuring the production, investment and innovative structures of the construction enterprise are proposed. An investment model for the implementation of a specific innovative construction project has been developed and a number of management solutions that meet this model have been identified and designed to neutralize the effects of external adverse perturbations. The application of management solutions of internal, medium and external contours to the management system of investment flows of a construction enterprise as a part of specialized series is substantiated.

Abstract:

Abstract The basic operation of a construction company involves the execution of tasks (building structures or building works) on sites. These projects are linked by the common resources of a building company used for the execution of different orders. The scheduling of a construction company programme is a continuous process with a dynamically changing look-ahead and scope of works. Decisions made on site by junior managers are based on their experience and intuition and are attempts at purposeful regulation – adaptation of the operative plan to the directive schedule, agreed with the investor, considering the progress of work. The quality of management decisions can be improved by implementing computer-based decision-supporting systems.

In conditions of environmental instability and uncertainty, one of the factors for the effective functioning and development of a construction company is high-quality and continuous cost management. The cost management process is aimed at maximizing profits by increasing the efficiency of the use of all resources. It requires constant monitoring to make adjustments to the planned costs and their amounts. Cost management is impossible without careful analysis. Along with the traditional methods of cost management, it is advisable for construction companies to apply functional cost analysis, which is an effective tool for optimizing costs and the quality of production functions performance. The research studies a construction company. Particular attention in the study is paid to indirect costs due to an increase in their share in the structure of the construction products cost. Within the framework of the functional cost analysis, an ABC analysis was carried out and a Pareto curve was modelled. It allowed us to focus on the allocated cost areas and classify the processes into main, basic and supportive ones. The significance of the identified processes was determined using the paired comparisons method. The results obtained allow us to draw a conclusion about the correspondence of the share of cost items and their significance for the analyzed construction company. The research materials are of interest and practical importance for the CEOs of construction companies.

Abstract:

The construction industry in Central Asia has shown rapid growth in the last decade due to an economic boom, leading to high construction & demolition waste (C&DW) generation accompanied by waste management operations falling behind worldwide best practices. The present study first employs a comprehensive environmental screening approach, PESTEL analysis, to identify and assess critical external and internal factors that can affect C&DW management in a leading Central Asian construction company (headquarters in Kazakhstan, the country with the largest economy in the region). Then, a case study is performed using 3R (reduce-reuse-recycle) principles and subjecting this company. Current international practices tailored to the given context are provided, existing company practices and applied improvements are discussed and prioritized improvements with implied sustainability benefits are proposed. The findings and recommendations are applicable especially to other construction companies operating in Central Asia that would ensure more sustainable C&DW management operations in the future.

Abstract:

The major share of capital and equipment intensive operation goes to the road sector and the hydro – electric power projects. The construction sector in Ethiopia is developing at a fast rate and its capital budget is increasing from year to year. One of the reasons for this high growth is the number of new construction projects underway and those in the pipeline. In addition, the hydro-electric power projects the government has given a great emphasis to increase the current installed power of 780Mw to a total of 10,000Mw in the coming few years. These hydro-power projects are known for using a great deal of high investment heavy machineries. Therefore, the construction equipment management plays a great role in finalizing the projects with fewer budgets and no time over run. Considering the higher operation, maintenance and investment cost of construction equipment, it is important to have a carefully optimized decision making model that will help in the sizing and selection of the right combination of equipment for a given project. Even the rental versus purchase evaluation needs careful consideration of the project requirement and its duration. This study tries to analyze the existing situation taking a selected company as a case study with regard to construction equipment management. The study tries to cover the equipment management policy of the company, suppliers/manufacturers evaluation and selection criteria, types of purchase processes employed, as well as different make types and capacities of equipment owned by the company. Moreover, capacities of standard facilities available for the central maintenance workshop and replacement plan of equipment of the company in the coming five years will be investigated and commented on.

Abstract:

This research focused on the strategic management tool Balanced Scorecard and strategic planning, as a guide to guide the management of companies, allowing communication and the functionality of the strategy using KPIs that allow to identify, maintain control and increase efficiency and the achievement of optimal results. For the deductive hypothetical analysis, the specific factors that affect business management performance were grouped into two variables: Balanced Scorecard and Strategic Planning. The objective of the work was to demonstrate the impact of the Balanced Scorecard in the strategic planning of a construction company. In order to support the research, the following theories were approached: the Financial Theory, the Economic Theory of the Company, the Transaction Costs, the Network Theory, the Organization Theory, the Dependence on Resources, the Strategic Management Theory and the Business Diagnosis Theory. The result obtained confirms the hypothesis that there is a significant incidence of the Balanced Scorecard in the strategic planning of construction companies. In conclusion, the construction company has obtained significant improvements in the results in each of the indicators evaluated with the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard, demonstrating improvements in their management results, affirming that there is better performance and management control allowing them to achieve the organizational objectives set.

Abstract:

Faced with the pollution problem that they generate, the discharge of large volumes of wastewater, to the groundwater table, caused by cleaning operations in the machine scrubbing facilities and construction equipment in the network of workshops of the construction company in La Republic of Cuba. The work for the solution of the proposed problem consists of the projection and execution of an installation, for the sedimentation of clay, dust, stones, heavy metals, as well as swimming fats, as a treatment, for the separation of solids, from the rest of the components of wastewater that result from the scrubbing process of construction equipment. The installation for the recovery of these important volumes of water; which is the essence of this article; its operation is based on the discrimination of waste, by its specific weights, resulting from scrubbing. For the processing of wastewater, a treatment system is conceived, with two multiple tanks placed in “cascades” where the settling of the solids is guaranteed, by undergoing two consecutive filtrations. At the end of the process, clean water is obtained, which will be reused for a new scrubbing, which accumulates in a clear water tank, thereby contributing to the saving of drinking water and energy, so necessary in human activity.
