Full text

Abstract:

The complexity of multidisciplinary projects requires that many specialities and disciplines work together. In rail infrastructure projects, the term 'systems engineering (SE)' is being widely used, yet it is still loosely defined. This PhD thesis proposes the use of a Disciplinary Breakdown Structure (DBS), an approach that better integrates SE as it is currently understood with traditional project management (PM) to make PM more efficient. A review of PM, SE and their relationship, particularly in the rail sector, identified gaps in performance, the most significant of which is a lack of integration between the SE and PM activities. Case study material was examined and a survey was conducted. The results highlighted the lack of consensus and consistency of the definition of SE and its application by project practitioners at various levels. Interface management (IM) was identified as a key factor contributing in project failure or success. IM was reviewed in the context of SE and PM, and existing methods and solutions were examined. The DBS as a new solution, was developed and introduced to improve the IM life cycle from definition to closure. This solution is based on industry discipline sectors (in this case, the rail sector) and therefore it is independent from project specific requirement. Exploring more detail of the DBS revealed its capability in integrating SE and PM more generally. The DBS is a modular solution (with a potential to become an industry standard) that provides a basis for the rapid development of project-bespoke management systems, improving PM efficiency by saving time and resources. The approach has been tested in two major rail project case studies in the UK and one in Canada and the results, benefits, constraints and the areas of improvements are discussed in more detail.

Abstract:

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) became part of the curriculum in the Department of Computer Science at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) in September 1997. The intent was to integrate the object-oriented paradigm in the undergraduate courses. Subsequently, this use has shifted to the graduate level. The purpose of this thesis is: 1) to determine what the students know about UML, 2) to reveal if the students were using UML, 3) to clarify how students use the UML.

Abstract:

This thesis project examines changes to building documents during the product development in the construction process, which is referred as revision memos in this report. The study is made in cooperation with Serneke and is therefore limited to project within this company. Furthermore, the information in this study is based on relevant literature as well as interviews, a poll and material from three of Serneke´s projects. The results show that the examined projects have exceeded the estimated design cost due to changes made during production. By investigating the revision memos, the conclusion was that performing construction, commercial projects and rebuilding projects generate more revision memos as well as the architect and constructor had the greatest number and most expensive revision memos. It also appears that the number of revision memos of other disciplines varies between projects. Furthermore, the design process seems to generate many mistakes that appear in the production, which means that an improved design process with experience feedback and collision control should detect mistakes at an earlier stage. Recommendation for future projects is to make use of the contractors knowledge of production early in the design stage, to use experience feedback and collision control, to introduce a date for last additions, to use Swedish standard when establishing revision memos and to not execute changes before a revision memo is published. In conclusion of this project follows a few recommendations for continued investigation of this field of study.
Detta arbete undersöker ändringar av handlingar som sker vid produktframtagningen i byggprocessen, vilket benämns ändrings-PM i denna rapport. Syftet är att kartlägga problematiken kring ändrings- och tilläggsarbeten i ett sent skede och målet är att öka medvetenheten gällande ändrings-PM och dess konsekvenser. Arbetet genomförs under 10 veckor och begränsas därför till att undersöka projekt inom Serneke. Vidare kommer olika entreprenadformer och olika projekttyper att jämföras detta då de olika förutsättningarna i projekten förväntas generera olika mängder ändrings-PM. Metoden för detta arbete är dels en litteraturstudie, som förklarar olika begrepp och tillvägagångssätt, samt intervjuer och enkät som kompletteras med underlag från tre av Sernekes projekt. I resultatet framgår det att de undersökta projektens bedömda projekterings-kostnad överstigits på grund av ändringar som skett under produktionen. Sammanställningen av ändrings-PM från projekten samt enkätsvaren visar också att arkitekten och konstruktören har flest antal samt dyrast ändrings-PM. Vidare framgår det att övriga discipliners ändrings-PM varierar i antal mellan projekt. Vad gäller entreprenadform och projekttyp framgick det av enkäten och intervjuerna att utförandeentreprenader, kommersiella projekt och ROT-projekt rimligtvis genererar mer ändrings-PM dock kunde detta inte stärkas av något ytterligare material. Däremot kunde kommunikationsverktyget Byggnet undersökas med slutsatsen att det är ett väl fungerande informationssystem vid korrekt användning. Vidare anses projekteringen generera många fel som dyker upp i produktionen, vilket medför att en förbättrad projektering med erfarenhetsåterföring och kollisionskontroll borde upptäcka misstag i ett tidigare skede. För framtida projekt rekommenderas att nyttja entreprenörens erfarenhet av produktionen i projekteringen, att använda sig av erfarenhetsåterföring och kollisionskontroll, att införa ett datum för sista tillägg, att använda svensk standard vid upprättande av ändrings-PM samt att utföra ändringar efter ett publicerat ändrings-PM. Genom att vidare undersöka flera projekt med olika entreprenadformer och projekttyper skulle en kartläggning kunde göras för antalet ändrings-PM och hur de påverkar projektets kostnad och tidplan.

Full text

Abstract:

Face à une crise de la planification avérée depuis plusieurs décennies, l'aménagement peine à renouveler ses méthodes et outils, ainsi qu'à relever le défi de l'action dans un monde incertain. Toutefois, impulsés par des formes de gouvernance inédites, des objets territoriaux non identifiés apparaissent, théâtres de modalités d'action et de territorialités qui échappent au cadre de la planification et à l'institutionnalisation. Le Pôle d'Orly, projet interdépartemental, en est un exemple. C'est en le suivant au quotidien pendant quatre ans, au Conseil général de l'Essonne, que cette thèse s'est construite autour de l'idée que l'improvisation peut éclairer la nature de l'action et du territoire en jeu et permettre de comprendre leur pertinence et leur efficacité propres. En élargissant l'enquête à l'ensemble des projets d'aménagement du CG, une trajectoire commune est apparue, dessinant les contours d'un modèle d'action improvisée. Ambiguïté, équivoque, indétermination et éphémère en sont des propriétés centrales. Caractérisée par une intentionnalité et une créativité partagées qui ne distinguent plus entre composition et exécution, l'improvisation s'appuie sur la construction du sens et des finalités dans le cours de l'action et rétrospectivement, issue de l'interaction entre leader et partenaires, joue avec un horizon d'attente et multiplie les effets latéraux. L'analyse des compétences déployées par les chefs de projet a par ailleurs permis d'identifier les bases d'une discipline de l'action improvisée. Celle-ci porte l'attention sur des qualités et des valeurs associées à l'écoute, la prévoyance, la confiance, l'engagement, dans une logique de don et de croyance, au cœur des échanges avec les partenaires et de l'engagement réciproque au service du projet.

Abstract:

Research and Development engineering is at the corner stone of humanity’s evolution. It is perceived to be a systematic creative process which ultimately improves the living standard of a society through the creation of new applications and products. The commercial paradigm that governs project selection, resource allocation and market penetration prevails when the focus shifts from pure research to applied research. Furthermore, the road to success through commercialisation is difficult for most inventors, especially in a vast and isolated country such as Australia which is located a long way from wealthy and developed economies. While market leading products are considered unique, the actual process to achieve these products is essentially the same; progressing from an idea, through development to an outcome (if successful). Unfortunately, statistics indicate that only 3% of ‘ideas’ are significantly successful, 4% are moderately successful, and the remainder ‘evaporate’ in that form (Michael Quinn, Chairman, Innovation Capital Associates Pty Ltd). This study demonstrates and analyses two techniques developed by the author which reduce uncertainty in the engineering design and development phase of new product development and therefore increase the probability of a successful outcome. This study expands the existing knowledge of the engineering design and development stage in the new product development process and is couched in the identification of practical methods, which have been successfully used to develop new products by Australian Small Medium Enterprise (SME) Excel Technology Group Pty Ltd (ETG). Process theory is the term most commonly used to describe scientific study that identifies occurrences that result from a specified input state to an output state, thus detailing the process used to achieve an outcome. The thesis identifies relevant material and analyses recognised and established engineering processes utilised in developing new products. The literature identified that case studies are a particularly useful method for supporting problem-solving processes in settings where there are no clear answers or where problems are unstructured, as in New Product Development (NPD). This study describes, defines, and demonstrates the process of new product development within the context of historical product development and a ‘live’ case study associated with an Australian Government START grant awarded to Excel Technology Group in 2004 to assist in the development of an image-based vehicle detection product. This study proposes two techniques which reduce uncertainty and thereby improve the probability of a successful outcome. The first technique provides a predicted project development path or forward engineering plan which transforms the initial ‘fuzzy idea’ into a potential and achievable outcome. This process qualifies the ‘fuzzy idea’ as a potential, rationale or tangible outcome which is within the capability of the organisation. Additionally, this process proposes that a tangible or rationale idea can be deconstructed in reverse engineering process in order to create a forward engineering development plan. A detailed structured forward engineering plan reduces the uncertainty associated with new product development unknowns and therefore contributes to a successful outcome. This is described as the RETRO technique. The study recognises however that this claim requires qualification and proposes a second technique. The second technique proposes that a two dimensional spatial representation which has productivity and consumed resources as its axes, provides an effective means to qualify progress and expediently identify variation from the predicted plan. This spatial representation technique allows a quick response which in itself has a prediction attribute associated with directing the project back onto its predicted path. This process involves a coterminous comparison between the predicted development path and the evolving actual project development path. A consequence of this process is verification of progress or the application of informed, timely and quantified corrective action. This process also identifies the degree of success achieved in the engineering design and development phase of new product development where success is defined as achieving a predicted outcome. This spatial representation technique is referred to as NPD Mapping. The study demonstrates that these are useful techniques which aid SMEs in achieving successful new product outcomes because the technique are easily administered, measure and represent relevant development process related elements and functions, and enable expedient quantified responsive action when the evolving path varies from the predicted path. These techniques go beyond time line representations as represented in GANTT charts and PERT analysis, and represent the base variables of consumed resource and productivity/technical achievement in a manner that facilitates higher level interpretation of time, effort, degree of difficulty, and product complexity in order to facilitate informed decision making. This study presents, describes, analyses and demonstrates an SME focused engineering development technique, developed by the author, that produces a successful new product outcome which begins with a ‘fuzzy idea’ in the mind of the inventor and concludes with a successful new product outcome that is delivered on time and within budget. Further research on a wider range of SME organisations undertaking new product development is recommended.

Abstract:

M.Phil. (Engineering Management)
This dissertation provides an investigation on the level of technical knowledge which project managers have to carry to deliver technical projects. It has now become a standard to many organizations to run their deliverables in projects to reach their objectives and every project is set to be unique. Project management can be thought as the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to meet project requirements or coordination of human, financial and material resources to achieve beneficial change defined by quantitative and qualitative objectives. At the heart of project management is the project manager a project director and driver. Project manager is a professional tasked with leading a project from inception to completion [27]. It is not clear as to which level of technicality must project managers be to delivering projects in time, on budget and in an acceptable quality, thus the duties and qualities of a technical inclined project manager are covered in this study. Project manager leads a project team from the start of a project life cycle to finish, accomplishing the project objectives on time and within budget. Facing obstacles, budget and time-constraints, project manager is a key to planning and executing projects that produce the desired deliverable or result [4]. Developing the literature around the project management industry outlines the duties and responsibilities of a project manager which then defines the skills needed for project managers. It is safe enough to have a project manager with all the required skills stretching from technical through to managerial. Organizations delivering large scale projects have developed a role of an engineering manager who takes control of all technical aspects of the project. A project with an engineering manager allows the project manager to administrate the project and in that case the level of technicality for project managers is not important. A great athlete does not always make a great coach. Some of the best coaches in the world were not the best athletes, but have a firm understanding of the game. As suggested in [28] by Richard Fanelli, an architect and project manager guru that “a complete project manager must be an expert technically and knowing how things are done, as well as being detail oriented”. The one person the place can't function without. Everyone, the boss, supervisors, assistants comes to you for help. But where do you as a project manager go when you need help? As a project manager one is part bookkeeper, part administrator, part leader, part human resource pro, part technical guru, and part many other parts without parting ways with your sanity. Findings to the research topic are drawn to support the final conclusions discussed in the later part of the report. The project manager must also have technical competence in some aspects of the work being performed on the project. It appears however that there is considerable disagreement between researchers on the issue of how much technical knowledge is required. The more technically aware one is, the better they will be able to understand risks, potential roadblocks, and impacts of delays to the schedule. Project manager requires skills in three primary areas, namely interpersonal, technical and administration to deliver project successfully.

Abstract:

Event management is a field within project management studies that applies its principles and theories to events. These events include sports championships, conferences, fairs, and festivals. Nevertheless, a recent interest has described festivals as a particular type of event that should be studied separately from everything else. In order to further contribute to this idea, a festival management framework was developed, and tested within MOTELX – Lisbon International Horror Film Festival. This paper aims to further assert festival management as an emancipated study field deriving from project management and to provide festival organizers with a robust tool to use in the future.

Full text

Abstract:

The New Zealand economy in the period up to 2006 provides an opportunity to assess an alternative disclosure based approach to the prudential regulation of deposittakers, in a market free of many of the distortions which arise from traditional regulatory schemes. The overall objective of this research has been to assess the effectiveness of the prudential regulation of New Zealand financial institutions and judge if the country is well served by it. Analysis of New Zealand’s registered bank sector suggests public disclosure adds value to New Zealand’s financial system. However, the significant relationship found between disclosure risk indicators and bank risk premiums was not as a result of market discipline, rather it is argued self-discipline was the mechanism, demonstrating bank management and directors are discharging their duties in a prudent manner. A feature of the New Zealand disclosure regime for banks is the significant responsibilities placed on bank directors; directors are then held accountable for their actions. Findings in the management of banks were in contrast to non-bank deposittakers, where disclosure was judged to be ineffective, and of no practical use due to its poor quality. The management of non-bank deposit-takers appeared to receive very little oversight from depositors, their trustees or official agencies. As a result, many appear to have managed their institution in their own interests, with little consideration given to other stakeholders. Failures which occurred in NBDTs from 2006 resulted from deficiencies in the prudential regulation of these deposit-takers, demonstrating the severity of asymmetric information and moral hazard problems which can arise if prudential regulation is not correctly designed and management interests are not aligned with other stakeholders. The New Zealand disclosure regime will never guarantee a bank will not fail, nor should it try to do so, but it should assist the functioning of a sound and efficient financial system. To this end, it is recommended that the Reserve Bank, in re-designing the regulatory framework for NBDTs, hold the management and directors of NBDTs similarly accountable, while also incorporating regular disclosure and minimum prudential standards. Governments have an important role to play in ensuring the financial system is efficient.

Abstract:

This paper examines the personal branding of Big Wave Surfer Sebastian Steudtner. It addresses the challenge of developing a strong brand for an athlete in a niche sport. It draws on data derived from focus groups, interviews with business partners, and the athlete himself. The results revealed allow the athlete to sharpen his brand identity. They underline the importance of closing the gap between self-perception and fan-perception and suggest further research on him as a brand. Especially in niche sports, a strong branding strategy is necessary to attract suitable sponsors to fund a professional athlete’s operations.
