FIDIC is an international federation of consulting engineers that publishes standard forms of contract. It was founded in 1913 and is headquartered in Geneva. Some of FIDIC's most well-known standard forms include the Red, Yellow, and Silver Books. The Red Book covers construction projects, the Yellow Book covers electrical and mechanical works, and the Silver Book covers EPC/turnkey projects. FIDIC contracts establish important procedures like priority of contract documents, the engineer's role, extensions of time, insurance requirements, and dispute resolution processes involving negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.
The contractor can submit a claim to the engineer within 28 days of an event occurring or its effects ending. The contractor must then submit details of the claim within 42 days, or a period agreed with the engineer. If the engineer rejects the claim or does not respond, either party can refer the dispute to the dispute board for resolution.

- If determined to be unforeseen, instruct a variation in work along with granting an extension
Construction Claims generally comes up between two parties of the construction contracts, and there can be several reasons which result in a claim such as a delay in the project, uninformed changes, misinformation, unforeseen circumstances and general conflicts. In UAE, as the constructions are on the rise, so the disputes are. Professional construction claims consultants Dubai offering services protecting the values of both the clients and the contractors.
This document discusses various approaches to analyzing delays in construction projects, including As-Planned vs As-Built, Impacted As-Planned, Collapsed As-Built, and Time Impact Analysis using snapshot and window approaches. It defines key delay analysis terms and provides examples of inserting delays into schedules and calculating extension of time and costs using different methods. The preferred approach discussed is window-based Time Impact Analysis, which divides a project into time windows and compares schedules to determine delay impacts at different points in time. Concurrent delays that cannot be separated are generally only entitled to extension of time but not additional costs.
Contract administration involves managing the agreement between an employer/client and contractor to ensure objectives are met on time and within budget. It also requires monitoring performance for deficiencies and resolving conflicts. Key stakeholders in a construction project include design teams, clients, contractors, and project managers. Managing contract risk involves identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and treating risks, as well as monitoring risks over time. Disputes can be resolved through negotiation between parties or mediation with a neutral third party to reach an agreed settlement.

Project quality management aims to ensure projects fulfill requirements. Quality is the degree to which project deliverables meet requirements. Accuracy measures correctness while precision measures exactness. Managing quality involves auditing works periodically, while controlling quality evaluates deliverables against standards and metrics. Common quality theories include zero defects, fitness for use, and continuous improvement. Quality is not achieved through unnecessary additions but by providing what customers request. Prevention is more effective than inspection for ensuring quality.
This document discusses and compares various common contract types including fixed-price contracts like firm fixed price (FFP) and fixed price incentive fee (FPIF) contracts which set a fixed total price upfront and carry more risk for sellers. Cost-reimbursable contracts like cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) and cost plus incentive fee (CPIF) cover sellers' costs plus a fee and carry more risk for buyers. Time and materials (T&M) contracts are a hybrid that pay hourly rates and material costs. Each type allocates risk differently between buyers and sellers.

The document discusses the importance of project selection and prioritization for organizations. It states that project selection and prioritization allows senior management to select projects that align with strategic plans and effectively manage resources. The document recommends that organizations establish their own internal criteria for selection and prioritization using project management processes and techniques to create a balanced portfolio that maximizes opportunities while minimizing threats and optimizing resource use.
The document discusses using WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) and OBS (Organizational Breakdown Structure) integration to improve labor productivity in construction projects. It outlines common causes of lost productivity such as technical issues, missed supervision, and improper resource distribution. The presentation recommends assigning specific work packages to organizational units using a WBS-OBS matrix to provide clear roles and responsibilities. This approach avoids lost productivity and allows for monitoring of resource usage and performance. An example demonstrates tracking labor assignments and progress to analyze variances. WBS-OBS integration provides a framework for control and improvement of direct labor costs and productivity.
The document discusses project management and the Project Management Institute (PMI). It describes how the PMI was founded in 1969 to develop standards and best practices for project management. It outlines the development of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and PMI's family of credentials and certifications. The PMBOK provides standards for the ten knowledge areas of project management, including scope, time, cost, quality, and risk management. PMI offers certifications like the PMP and CAPM to validate professionals' project management skills.
The document discusses the history and evolution of project management as a discipline.

Frank is the founder of Project Auditors and has experience designing project management processes and serving on the PMI board. He also lectures on project management.
The document discusses the importance of an effective Project Management Information System (PMIS) for construction projects. It notes that a PMIS ensures proper communication flows and availability of integrated project information to stakeholders. An ineffective PMIS can lead to issues like lack of control and project failure. The document provides recommendations for how to establish an effective PMIS including through tools, processes, training and global
Scope changes during the testing and commissioning phase of construction projects are a critical issue that can impact cost and completion time. Unclear scope definitions during the design phase and improper communication between stakeholders often lead to scope changes being requested by employers after construction is complete. While FIDIC contracts recognize the effects of scope changes and enable contractors to claim related costs and time extensions, the standards used to calculate cost impacts are not defined in FIDIC, leading to potential disputes. Proper project planning through clear scoping and use of FIDIC contracts can help protect projects and avoid disputes over scope changes.
Labor productivity improvement in construction projects using wbs obs integra...Essam Lotffy, PMP®, CCP®
The document discusses improving labor productivity on construction projects through integrating the work breakdown structure (WBS) and organizational breakdown structure (OBS). It outlines common causes of lost productivity like unclear responsibilities and interruptions to learning curves. The document presents an example of how assigning specific tasks in the WBS to organizational units in the OBS through a responsibility assignment matrix can monitor progress and improve productivity by mitigating these causes. It argues this approach provides a framework to control costs by optimizing resource allocation and labor efficiency.
Failures in construction due to ineffective project management information sy...Essam Lotffy, PMP®, CCP®
The flow of information in projects can be a significant driver to project success, or to project failure. As in all projects, there are different layers of communications and each requires its own approach, skills, and tools. Communicating work directions to the construction crews is simply telling them what to do, when to do it, and identifying other parallel work that may impact their own. The construction trades are generally skilled enough they can determine for themselves how to do the job.
This document defines key terms used in earned value analysis including budget at completion, planned value, earned value, actual cost, schedule variance, cost variance, schedule performance index, cost performance index, estimate at completion, estimate to complete, variance at completion, and to complete performance index. It provides the formulas to calculate each term and describes what each represents, such as planned value being the estimated work until the date of data multiplied by the budget at completion.
Every organization has both a formal structure, shown by the organization chart, and in informal structure that forms the culture of how the organization works. This informal structure, the culture, is created by the unwritten rules of the organization, and it can have a significant impact on the success or failure of any internal project.
The document provides an example to calculate net present value (NPV) and payback period (PBP). It defines key terms like present value, future value, rate of interest, number of years. To calculate NPV, it takes the present value of revenue and expenditure and subtracts the latter from the former. The example shows revenue of 50,000 Dhs, expenditure of 495,000 Dhs, 10% interest rate over 3 years, giving an NPV of 3756.574 Dhs. To calculate PBP, it divides the total investment by the cumulative income over years until the investment is recouped, demonstrating a PBP of 2 years and 4 months for the example provided.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy
m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
