“…In this regard, [47] conducted a survey to determine which critical factors influenced the outsourcing decision for maintenance services and discovered that improved quality requirements, faster implementation times, and risk sharing with the contractors were the most crucial factors. [48] corroborate that the top two factors that influence the decision to outsource are staff availability and the possession of requisite skills of staff members. Additionally, [49] classified factors influencing outsourcing decisions as strategic, managerial, technological, economic, and quality.…”

Like other types of buildings, shopping mall buildings in Nigeria receive insufficient maintenance attention. The vast majority of shopping malls exhibit awful structural and aesthetic conditions of deterioration. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the maintenance practices of shopping malls with a view to addressing issues that arise from factors responsible for the deterioration of the building fabrics and components. Data from 97 building maintenance stakeholders from Lagos Island and Mainland malls were gathered using a cross-sectional survey utilizing two sets of structured self-administered questionnaires. The results revealed 31 maintenance practices implemented in shopping malls. The study also uncovered 21 key factors influencing the sourcing decision of maintenance practices in shopping malls. Besides, the results further revealed 22 causative factors that lead to the deterioration of shopping mall building fabrics and components. The study comes to the conclusion that regardless of the sourcing decision, other factors, such as quality and frequency of maintenance, have a significant impact on how quickly a shopping mall deteriorates. It is recommended that maintenance stakeholders should play active roles in ensuring shopping malls are adequately maintained. This may be achieved by developing a defined strategy for routine and preventive maintenance.

“…The idea of management of construction and risk method was introduced in the 1980s. Management of construction and risk method as a project delivery method was shaped to deliver input to the designer to rise reliability [26,30,31] and constructability of designs and to minimize schedule time by overlapping of the method design [5,19,21]. According to Holt et al (1993) the contractor typically has an important input in the process of design.…”

“…Many researchers pointed out that it is very difficult to select a suitable and reliable contractor. In the context of road construction id evaluation is one of the key challenges that face proprietors and advisors in the private and public sectors [24][25][26]. On the other side hand, there are objective means to measure the ability and strength of a road construction contractor to appropriately manage the business characteristics of the road construction project.…”

Objectives: This paper present a thorough understanding of bid evaluation process and assessment of innovation in road construction industry. Methods/Analysis: The research articles reviewed are based on topics of bid evaluation process, evaluation of bids in road construction industry, the indicators and techniques of bids evaluation, process of Bid evaluation in countries, innovation in road industry, and indicators of innovation in the context of road construction industry. Findings: It is widely accepted that projects related to the road construction must be accomplished in an organized manner. Literature indicates that the road constructing demands from customers and competition of assessing and evaluating tenders have been increasing rapidly. Novelty /Improvement: Challenges in developing suitable roads contribute to the inconsistency in the industry and directly demands towards physical work on a road construction project, nevertheless, a failure to accurately assessment of tenders can lead to complications for the whole project and road Construction Company. The selection of a suitable construction contractor’s surges likelihoods of successful achievement of a road construction project. This may also achieve the customer goals, and retain the project schedule on time, within the budget and achieve high quality project. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091646 Full Text: PDF

“…The study also shows that outsourcing technical projects is beneficial to the organisations in terms of cost reduction, level of service improvement, and risk mitigation. Other related studies include [109], [110], and [111]. Nevertheless, this assumption can be unwarranted if asset owners provide in-house intervention services.…”

This article gives an overview of the literature on asset management for multi-unit systems with an emphasis on two multi-asset categories: fleet (a system of homogeneous assets) and portfolio (a system of heterogeneous assets). As asset systems become more complicated, researchers have employed different terms to refer to their specific problems. With an objective to facilitate readers in searching conducive studies to their interests, this paper establishes a novel classification scheme for multi-unit systems in accordance with essential features such as diversity of assets and intervention options. Moreover, discerning differences in characteristics between cross-component and cross-asset interactions, we select three types of potential multi-component dependencies (performance, stochastic, and resource) and extend their notions to be applicable to multi-asset systems. The investigation into these dependencies enables the identification of problems that could exist in real industrial settings but are yet to be determined in academia. Ultimately, we delve into modelling approaches adopted by previous researchers. This comprehensive information allows us to offer the insights into the current trends in multi-asset maintenance. We expect that the output of this review paper will not only stress research gaps on multi-asset systems, but more importantly help systematise future studies on this aspect.
