“…Setiap projek pembinaan mempunyai ciri-ciri dan masalah yang berbeza oleh itu responden berhak untuk memilih jawapan yang pelbagai bagi setiap item punca kelewatan. Howell (1999) menyatakan bahawa ciri projek pembinaan adalah unik dan kompleks disebabkan oleh persekitaran yang tidak menentu, oleh itu ini menjadi sebab utama responden tersebut dikekalkan. Penyelidik turut mengekalkan responden bernombor 54, 16, 25, 23, dan 24 atas sebab yang sama.…”

For purposes of data analysis, this research uses Winstep a software-based Rasch Modal measurement. Beside Cronbach alpha reliability, Rasch Measurement Model can provide the reliability of the item and respondent. Validity of data evaluated from various aspects, including the items and the respondent misfit, principal component analysis and rating scale. A total of 54 of the 64 items were identified contributed to delays in construction projects in Malaysia.Keywords: Validity; Reliability, Construction delay; Rasch analysis; Rating scale PENGENALAN Fenomena kelewatan dalam projek pembinaan menjadi satu perkara biasa dalam industri pembinaan. Di Malaysia kelewatan dalam projek pembinaan tidak asing lagi di kalangan pengamal industri pembinaan terutamanya projek pembinaan awam. Kajian mengenai kelewatan dalam projek pembinaan merupakan sebuah kajian yang telah lama dilakukan telah dilakukan sejak tahun 1985 lagi di Turki, dan berkembang sehingga kini ke negara-negara lain (Sepasgozar, Razkenari & Barati 2015). Walaupun pelbagai kajian kelewatan dilakukan oleh penyelidik daripada seluruh dunia, fenomena ini masih tidak dapat diselesaikan seperti ia tidak berpenghujung.Pelbagai kajian kelewatan dalam projek pembinaan telah dilakukan oleh penyelidik lepas di seluruh dunia, antaranya ialah Kaliba et al. (2009) telah melakukan kajian kelewatan di Republik Zambia, sebuah negara membangun. Kajian tersebut mengenal pasti punca dan kesan peningkatan kos dan kelewatan dalam penjadualan bagi projek pembinaan jalan raya di negara tersebut. Penyelidik tersebut telah mendapati proses pembayaran yang lambat, masalah kewangan dan kesukaran pada pihak kontraktor dan klien, pengubahsuaian kontrak, masalah kewangan, masalah perolehan bahan, perubahan dalam lukisan, masalah kakitangan, ketiadaan peralatan, penyeliaan yang lemah, kesilapan pembinaan, penyelarasan yang lemah di tapak, perubahan dalam spesifikasi bahan dan pertikaian dan masalah buruh telah menjadi punca utama kelewatan penyiapan projek pembinaan jalan raya di negara tersebut.

“…Lean construction is a kind of derivative of the lean production concept [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In the beginning of 1990-ies L. Koskela was one of the first who analyzed the application of the principles of lean production in construction industry [8][9][10][11].…”

Abstract. In recent time, due to the sharp climatic changes, the Arctic attracts an increased interest of the world powers as a strategically important object. In 2013, the development strategy of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and national security for the period up to 2020 was approved by the President. In this strategy, the socio-economic development of the region in terms of improving the quality of life, expressed in the implementation of housing and civil engineering is very important. The goal of the study is to identify effective organization model of construction in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Lean construction as a dynamically developing methodology abroad is analyzed. Characteristics of this organization model of construction meet the necessary requirements for the construction of various infrastructure objects in the Arctic. Therefore, the concept of lean construction can be an effective strategy of development of the Arctic regions of Russia as well as other Arctic countries.

“…It provides volumes of a variety of products at a relatively low cost by using resources of multi-skilled workers at all levels of organisation and highly flexible, increasingly automated machines (Jeong 2003). Results from the application of this new form of production management to construction are reported in Howell (1999). Lean construction is a new way to manage construction.…”

KeywordsNew management thinking like that of lean construction has suggested principles and techniques that can result in better project performance. This paper aims to demonstrate the conceptual benchmarking principles for construction labour productivity and implement these in some projects in Greece, by the use of indices and measures of benchmarking in labour productivity. Indices such as the disruption index (DI), performance ratio (PR), project management index (PMI), and project waste index (PWI) are calculated. From the application of the above indices it was concluded that the benchmarks of labour productivity was found to be an important delineator between good and poorly performing projects.
