Despite to the initial attractions, the international projects are potentially high-risk and their negative impacts can affect international contractors if the risks are not identified in the contracting phase. The implementation of an efficient risk management process can reduce the negative impacts of identified risks which may in turn increase the profit of these companies. Risks of international...
Project cost of construction enterprises includes direct costs and indirect costs. The absence of segregation in responsibilities, the barriers exits in cost information transmitting, lack of cost control criteria, the low technological level of construction workers, lack of cost analysis and evaluation mechanism are the main problems exit in project cost control of construction enterprises. The paper...
Due to the characteristics of construction projects such as only one time establishment, big investment scale, complicated structure and high energy consumption in operation process, the cost management theories and methods of construction projects are different from other general products. This paper proposes to apply VE to the total life cycle of construction projects, and also proposes a dynamic...
The benefits brought by information sharing in construction supply chain (ISCSC) can be manifested in many aspects. The calculation of added-value generated from information sharing is complicated and difficult, and this paper proposes to measure the above-mentioned benefits from three aspects: construction period, cost and quality. By establishing mathematical equations of added-value in terms of...
Through measures of making full use of the limited infrastructure, the introduction of supply chain management and cooperation strategy and information technology, the current construction enterprises can improve their customer service, shorten the production cycle, improve production quality and strengthen its competitiveness. Based on the analysis of supply chain synergy in construction enterprises,...
With the promotion of the bill of quantity in china, the payment system which is based on the bill of quantity has raised even stricter requirement for the final settlement. Towards all the issues exposed in the final settlement process, the owner needs to find an efficient way to control the final settlement urgently. Interior control is a method which is used in the enterprise management so as to...
ABC cost function model is established to calculate the reasonable and lowest cost of construction engineering, by using the idea of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method that "resources consumed by activities and the products use up activities”. And then, the actual costs are calculated by combining with the accounting records and the calculation method of traditional cost. Now we get the actual...
This paper, based on the theory of sustainable development, discusses the fact that construction industry management must be conducted under the guidance of sustainable theory in the current situation of socio-economic development. Construction industry should change management concept in the aspects of project management, technology innovation management, construction materials management, project...
Chinese apparel industry has occupied an important position in international industry chain. However, Chinese Apparel Enterprises are not the main beneficiaries of the chain. Product and brand homogeneities are two common problems existing in Chinese domestic clothing industry. With knowledge economy developing rapidly, those who possess a wealth of knowledge and excels at converting knowledge into...
With its great explosion and the advancement of related technology and services, such as the World-Wide-Web (WWW), the Internet has provided a rich environment for building Internet-based electronic commerce (e-Commerce) applications. The growth of e-commerce has been phenomenal and it is radically transforming the way companies are doing business in all sectors, and the construction industry is no...
The pre-qualification is an important work in the process of bidding projects. Its aims are to choose a qualified bidder who has experience, competence, reputation to undertake the project. However, there are a lot of problems in China's current tender work. Based on related laws and engineering practice activities in the area of project bidding, this paper analyses the status, problems and their...
The contractor lacks of identification ability of risks in construction contracts, which result in loopholes and risks that could be avoid in the signing and implementation process of the instruction contract. Due to lack of identification and prevention of these risks, lead to the losses of the contractors in the project construction courses. To the contractor, the significant risk is the owner's...
Mining construction engineering is the core course and the characteristic course of civil engineering in China University of Mining and Technology. The teaching method used now can't meet the request for new teaching goal in 21st century. Reform of mining construction engineering is the basis requirement for cultivating innovative talents. The paper presents our reform of teaching method of mining...
Financial core competence is dynamic in the process of the corporation's development. This paper analyzed the evolution process of the financial core competence system by use of complex systematic theory and ascertained that financial core competence system is a complex and adaptable system. According to the principle of complex systematic theory, the systematic evolution process model is established,...
While beginning to develop overseas market, many problems emerge in oversea branches such as non-standard management and being lack of strategic planning and effective organization design. To solve the above-mentioned problems, the article designs some organizational structures based on project management for oversea branches: weak matrix organizational structure of EP independent operation, strong...
The construction engineering projects contracted by the construction enterprise groups are large, complex and dispersed in many zones; and there are many participators in it and coordination problems for it are prominent. Therefore, integrated and control management information system of construction engineering project enterprises groups (ICMISCPEG) has being used increasingly. The concept of ICMISCPEG...
As the development of China's market economy, powerful construction companies in developed countries have gained the access to Chinese construction market, and traditional construction industry has been in a more competitive case, construction companies must continue to improve their core competitiveness in order to survive and develop in fierce competition, information technology is the important...
This paper first examined the present situation on the global energy and the building energy consumption in China, then discussed the importance of building energy efficiency (abbr. BEE). Used for reference the certificate-rating system of BEE in abroad, the authors proposed to set up the similar system in building marketplace in China. Countered the information dispersive status of BEE, the authors...
The Just-In-Time (JIT) distribution is to distribute product or service to the clients according to the needs of the clients on the minimal stock. It ensures the supply of right parts in right quantity in the right place and at the right time. For the construction projects, the JIT distribution of the materials on the construction site is the precondition to realize the lean construction. This paper...
The purpose of this paper is to determine the problems due to abnormally low tenders (ALTs) and to develop some methods for reducing the negative effects of ALTs. In this paper, the reasons of ALTs, recommendations to eliminate ALTs were investigated. According to this investigation, it was observed that results change due to different social structures of countries. In addition to this investigation,...
