Design Initiative Implementation Framework: A Model Integrating Kolmogorov-Smirnov in Sustainable Practices for Triple-Bottom-Line Principles in Construction Industry

Abstract

TAGLINE: Eliminate Waste, Build Quality, Empower Team. Every construction project is characterized by being complex. Over the years, the efficiency and performance of the construction industry in the Philippines have been declining. Plus, the reality is that construction has been one of the largest polluters ever-since it started. This study proposes a plan of action that addresses these situations by introducing the concept of lean construction principles and value management. The purpose of this study is to integrate the sustainability of the construction industry in the Philippines. Sustainability was measured through triple-bottom-line. The paper explores the idea by reviewing different literatures to support theories and statements. It expands to measure the performances of the construction related to firms/companies in the Philippines, through four major categories, namely philosophy, process, people/partner and plant. The results were collected, analyzed and validated through different statistical treatments. For the last part, the researchers came up with a program that consisted of 20-suggested strategies which would help on eliminating waste, building quality and empowering team.

Supply Chain Strategy in Philippine Construction Industry: A Case Study of Joint Risk Management Approach during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…It conforms to Silva et al findings that stable and robust culture is defined by identifying and relating to exceptional individuals and teams who adhere to the organization's values. Furthermore, they identified that developing the people and promoting teamwork improves the organization's values [20] The research indicates that the construction industry's historical adversarial approach has inhibited the formation of trusting relationships. The company in the case study has a long history in the construction industry.…”

Management Competency Model: Predictive Neural Network Approach for Empirical Components of Construction Project Proficiency

“…( 1 ) ( 2 ) where "I" is the quantity of input parameters, "H" is the quantity of hidden neurons and "O" is the quantity of output parameters. Using this equation, this study arrived with the 81 respondents required for the training of the network.…”

“…One of the most difficult undertakings in a construction project is the selection of the most suitable individual for the job. Currently, project managers in the construction industry requires versatility and adaptability to multiple functions and roles wherein a key element is their knowledge and skills gained from years of experience and training [1,2]. The management competency is classified into four areas: self -awareness, systems thinking, action management and solution focus as shown in Figure 1.…”

Digital Information Mobility Schema: A Data-Flow Model Featuring Risk-Resilient Approach Towards Effective Construction Worksite Synergy Utilizing Fuzzy-Analytic Hierarchy Process

“…Construction is becoming less effective and efficient [3]. Limited collaboration on and off the site has been one of the industry's major issues because most construction projects rely on strong productivity to deliver on schedule, and this depends on how well stakeholders can work together and communicate [4].…”
