Development of the RACI Model for Processes of the Closure Phase in Construction Programs

Abstract

Recently, the construction industry has seen an increase in construction program level projects in which a number of projects are carried out simultaneously. These projects thus require more systematic management than traditional management methods due to both their complexity and the diverse stakeholders involved. When multiple projects overlap at the same time, it can create a gap between the contractor’s results and the user’s expectations at the closure phase of the construction program. These can include situations such aswhen handover is delayed, conflicts and frictions occur, and complaints from users mount. Therefore, an approach is needed to increase user satisfaction at the program level. This study presents a systematic closing management plan to increase user satisfaction for a smoother handover at the closure phase. The closure process was identified through case studies of activities in the closure phase. In addition, after identifying the stakeholder groups participating in the closure phase, responsibilities and roles were proposed as RACI(Responsible,Accountable,Consulted, and Informed)models by mapping the closure phase of processes and stakeholders. This model shows who is responsible and accountable for, consulted on, and informed about work processes in the closure phase of the program. From a user’s point of view, program closure signifies the beginning of operation and maintenance. We intend to contribute to the increase of user satisfaction by suggesting when and in what work activities the user will be involved in construction products from the user’s perspective.

Stakeholder Management in Developing a Sustainable Tourism Village Based on Renewable Energy Using RACI Matrix

“…In the next stage, these four stakeholders were interviewed, and they were expected to complete questionnaires to obtain more in-depth information. The data from the questionnaire results and interviews were then compiled into the RACI Matrix table (Table 1), providing clear guidance on the tasks and responsibilities of each stakeholder in this development project [20], [21]. In the development project of the "Kampung Emas" tourist village, mainly focusing on transforming the traditional restaurant "Omah Kampoeng Emas" towards renewable energy, the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder have significant impacts.…”

Practical Guidelines for Applying the Raci Model in Recruitment Practices

“…• Clearly defined roles and responsibilities: The RACI matrix provides a clear understanding of who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed, reducing confusion and ensuring accountability (Lee et al, 2021).…”

Assessment of Urban Wind Potential and the Stakeholders Involved in Energy Decision-Making

“…This research presents three stages to develop the implementation of the RACI matrix, which were (1) the determination of the organizations and their role according to interviews and electronic surveys, (2) the parameterization of the valuation of the respondents according to their judgments in the people surveyed and interviewed for the identification of the roles of each of those involved, and (3) the mapping of the roles of the organizations [85]. The matrix helps to ensure that all tasks and activities are assigned to appropriate organizations/individuals or roles, and that there is clarity about who is responsible for making decisions, performing tasks, providing input, and receiving updates.…”
