Information quality deficiencies in delivery schedules and their impact on production scheduling

Difficulties observed in hydroelectric turbine projects management: evidence from case studies

“…It is possible to observe that these two difficulties are related to hydroelectric turbine project characteristics, which in general involve several teams, sometimes from different companies and nationalities and require the supply of different types of mechanical parts and specialized services. Problems to manage relationships with suppliers, such as mentioned by some authors (Mu et al , 2014; Myrelid, 2017). These authors also argue that good management of partners and suppliers is an essential factor for projects to achieve their goals and succeed.…”

“…The failure to complete this phase or misunderstanding the demands of each stakeholder can cause problems for the project. Finally, regarding the schedule, some authors (Keegan et al, 2017;Love et al, 2018;Martinsuo and Hoverfält, 2018;Myrelid, 2017;Tomotani and de Mesquita, 2018;Wu et al, 2017) emphasize the importance of managers properly debating the time and resources allocated to each activity and critically analyzing the feasibility of complying with the schedule while still in the planning phase Specifically regarding D3 (Difficulty in allocating human resources and defining responsibilities for team members), according to the kind of project, the human resources allocation can be a great challenge, since projects often require skills that are not developed or present in the work team (Bryde et al, 2018;Iyer and Banerjee, 2016;Keegan et al, 2017;Martinsuo and Hoverfält, 2018;Yng et al, 2018). Especially when it is considered the hydroelectric turbines, the teams work on projects for these mechanical sets for some time, so it is not difficult to allocate human resources to these activities, as is often presented in other works.…”

“…The deductive method of analysis was chosen because we have pre-defined difficulties to conduct the analysis (difficulties presented in Table 1). The following phases were carried out: document preparation phase Difficulty in managing suppliers and other partners (Butt et al, 2016;Haverila and Fehr, 2016;Mu et al, 2014;Myrelid, 2017;Olander, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2018;Rauch-Geelhaar et al, 2003)…”

“…The correct structuring of the project schedule requires attention. However, many managers accelerate this activity in the planning phase to begin the execution phase; consequently, difficulties related to deadlines are evidenced throughout the project (Love et al , 2018; Myrelid, 2017; Tomotani and de Mesquita, 2018).…”

Supply Chain Logistics Information Quality Evaluation From Just-in-Time Perspective

“…Information quality is inherently a hierarchical multidimensional concept [21], [31], [36], [37], [38] with inherent limitations when applied to a specific application domain [31]. Though the dimensions of information quality changes dynamically [33], several typical dimension classifications of information quality in the literature are shown in Table 1.…”
