A study on the applicability of quality circles to construction projectseSAT Journals
Abstract There is a rising need for infrastructural development in the city of Bangalore. As there are over 800 construction, civil engineering, building and development firms in and around the city, there is high competition. One of the factors which proves to be imperative in giving a competitive edge to these firms is good quality of their work among others like improved productivity and timely completion of their projects. Quality circles (QC) have been found to be a simple and productive technique of Total Quality Management (TQM) , despite having low cost of quality. Although QC is native to the production industry, it has been proposed to be implementable in construction industry. QC’s have never reportedly been used in the Indian construction industry. As the construction industry is significantly different from the production industry and the Indian organisational culture is also very different as compared to many countries like Japan where QC’s thrive, this paper seeks to analyse and study the applicability of QCs as an efficient TQM method to construction projects in and around Bangalore city. This paper seeks to accomplish this by highlighting the favourable conditions and hindrances that application of QC’s might face in Indian construction industry. The research methodology includes a detailed literature review and a questionnaire survey. The data was analysed using Index Average Method and percentage representations, both accompanied by descriptive analysis. Based on the analysis of the data obtained from the survey it was concluded that the Indian construction industry possesses various conditions which prove to be highly favourable towards the application of QC, however the temporary nature of the teams formed on construction projects, and the present organisational culture which might not support participative management have been found to be questionable conditions, which require improvement.

Career Road Strategy Model, Complementary of Competency Models and Strategic ...drboon
Strategic Job Analysis (SJA) and Competency Models (CM) both have the potential to fill an important void in Career Road Planning (CRP). This paper deals with a strategic model of career road planning to magnify organization and employee's situations in career road guiding complying with the strategic goals of the organization. To approve this meaning, It is assumed that career road planning is a project in organization's human resource management plan. It is then concluded through the investigation of different aspects of job analyzing and competency models that these methods are not able to present a complete solution in directing of career in road of organization's strategic goals because these approaches omit employee's role as a stakeholder in analysis and selection of career road. This paper presents a model with regard to two aspects: amount of career planning independency from organization's goal and stakeholder (organization and employee) roles to guide the strategic career road planning. Based on this analysis, it is inferred that the degree of employee’s independence is an important parameter in the career planning project’s environment that can be used to explain different strategies in career road. We suggest four distinct types of career planning strategies: obedient servant, independent innovator, flexible moderator and strong leader making job analyzing more clearly than previous approaches.

As we know that some employees also leave the organisation in search of new job so that it can fulfil their needs or to get new experiences or they want to explore new location, some retire or there are many other problems which employees face, so for that an organisation needs the hiring team, which are broadly classified into two categories, i.e., Recruitment and Selection, Here, Recruitment can be a positive approach because many of the people can gets selected who are capable of the job, but in case of the Selection, it is a negative approach because out of so many people, we have to neglect and find the best out of them.
The selection for the organisation can be critical because of the two reasons, i.e. work performance given to them, so are they comfortable and can give it on time or not. And secondly, the cost as the cost decided by the company or an organisation, the candidate is comfortable with it or not. So, if these factors don’t happen, then we need to again start with the process.

A Study on Effective Performance Appraisal System in Eid Parry Nellikuppamijtsrd
In this dynamic and ever exponentially changing global market, nothing can be measured with accuracy because business world made market attributes volatile. In the complex business world, human beings are the most valuable assets. Human resources attitude is also volatile as subject to many experiences and situations. In such scenario, one needs to measure how Human Resources perform for the purpose of reward, assessment and knowledge. The tools and techniques innovated for measuring human productivity and performance with respect to the required capability, intellect and experience is under an umbrella named Performance Appraisal System. No single Performance Appraisal System can assure the reliability of its results. Performance appraisal system can only be performed as impartial as possible by choosing the best fit method out of trending ones. Performance appraisal is a continuous process to monitor the actual performance of the employee i.e. the work done by the employees throughout the year. In this stage careful selection of the appropriate techniques of measurement such as personal observation, statistical reports, and written reports for measuring the performance is needed.

Career Road Strategy Model, Complementary of Competency Models and Strategic ...drboon
Strategic Job Analysis (SJA) and Competency Models (CM) both have the potential to fill an important void in Career Road Planning (CRP). This paper deals with a strategic model of career road planning to magnify organization and employee's situations in career road guiding complying with the strategic goals of the organization. To approve this meaning, It is assumed that career road planning is a project in organization's human resource management plan. It is then concluded through the investigation of different aspects of job analyzing and competency models that these methods are not able to present a complete solution in directing of career in road of organization's strategic goals because these approaches omit employee's role as a stakeholder in analysis and selection of career road. This paper presents a model with regard to two aspects: amount of career planning independency from organization's goal and stakeholder (organization and employee) roles to guide the strategic career road planning. Based on this analysis, it is inferred that the degree of employee’s independence is an important parameter in the career planning project’s environment that can be used to explain different strategies in career road. We suggest four distinct types of career planning strategies: obedient servant, independent innovator, flexible moderator and strong leader making job analyzing more clearly than previous approaches.

Abstract: Human Resource is an important part in every industry, company, organisation, etc. No organisation can’t run without its resources, they need people to work. Right people at the right place are important in every organisation as without placing the people at the right job won’t work the organisation to grow. Hiring also starts with the human asset arranging which tells about the kind of individuals the association needs. Sometimes, it doesn’t mean how many are working in the organisation, it also depends on the experience, knowledge, efficiency, talent, skills and also capability that how the employee can handle the work and do it dedicatedly. Hiring is an on-going process, which is not confined at all.
As we know that some employees also leave the organisation in search of new job so that it can fulfil their needs or to get new experiences or they want to explore new location, some retire or there are many other problems which employees face, so for that an organisation needs the hiring team, which are broadly classified into two categories, i.e., Recruitment and Selection, Here, Recruitment can be a positive approach because many of the people can gets selected who are capable of the job, but in case of the Selection, it is a negative approach because out of so many people, we have to neglect and find the best out of them.

A Review on Thin-shell Structures: Advances and TrendsA Makwana
This paper provides a review of research advances and trends in the area of thin shell structures. The art of building thin-shell structures has been with us since ancient times. In practical civil engineering, the necessity of covering large column free open areas with shell surfaces is often an issue. Over the course of time, this shell form became very popular to engineers due to a number of advantages it offers, and started drawing the attention of a number of researchers. A thin shell is a term not in itself as readily understandable by the layman as the terms dome or vault would be. It is in a sense a word coined on the basis of its structural connotations, as exhibited in the artifacts it creates. There are many interesting aspects of the use of shells in engineering, but one alone stands out as being of paramount importance: it is the structural aspect. At the beginning of this century, under the influence of the art movement and the dominance of industrialized building materials, any remnants of curvilinear architecture were mercilessly banished. Within that period avant-garde art emphatically proclaimed a total repudiation of the traditions and classical revivals that in architecture were symbolized mostly by arches and vaults. Ready-to-use rectilinear steel beams and columns and easy-to build rectilinear concrete forms struck a lethal blow to the curvilinear approach in architecture. Rectilinearity became synonymous with rationality, while curvilinearity came to symbolize decadence. Remember, for instance, the negative stigma given to the baroque for its assumed pomposity in glorifying curves. In practical terms such an attitude in design is clearly manifested in the present cityscapes that are totally free of arches, domes, shells, and any other form that is not rectilinear. With today‟s almost unlimited computer technology and the knowledge that can be gained from understanding the domes and vaults built both in the past and present, it is hoped that this research work on the review aspects of curvilinear forms will contribute to further exploration and encourage the application of thin shells by the engineers and architects to whom it is addressed. Masonry domes, concrete shells, and large steel contemporary domes are presented in historical terms as case studies and in conceptual terms from the architectural and structural point of view.

Achieving an economy in Construction nowadays takes a lot of effort. Various researches are being made to improve the quality of Concrete block so that it can achieve high strength in low weight. One such product was invented known as an Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) block. Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) block is attributed with properties such as a load-bearing, lightweight, high-insulating, and durable. Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) block consists of basic materials that are widely available including Sand, Cement, Fly Ash, Lime, Gypsum, Aluminium Powder Paste, Water and an Expansion agent. The major volume in Autoclave Aerated Concrete (AAC) is covered by silica sand and it is one of the world’s most abundant natural resources. The finished product is up to five times the volume of the raw materials used, with an air content of 70% to 80% which makes them lightweight. The effort is made to fulfil the framed objective of this analytical research is to study, Engineer, Consultants and Trader’s perceptions towards the use of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) block in construction projects and to analyse, the data collected as per questionnaire survey of targeted respondents study. This objective was achieved by a deriving conclusion about whether the AAC blocks are much better than clay bricks or not, by soft computing. The soft computing was done using one of the Statistical Packages for the Social Science (SPSS) method. i.e. Chi-square test. Required data for the study was collected through questionnaires that were distributed among the respondents who work at various construction projects. Mainly Engineers, Consultants, Traders and Contractors were selected as a respondent to getting efficient and reliable technical data.

EXPANSION JOINT TREATMENT: MATERIAL & TECHNIQUESA Makwana
Although buildings are often constructed using flexible materials, roof and
structural expansion joints are required when plan dimensions are large. It is not possible to
state exact requirements relative to distances between expansion joints because of the many
variables involved, such as ambient temperatures during construction and the expected
temperature range during the life of a building. Expansion joints are periodic breaks in the
structure of the buildings. An expansion joint is a gap in the building structure provided by
an architect or engineer to allow for the movement of the building due to temperature
changes. An expansion joint is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat-induced
expansion and contraction of various construction materials. They are commonly found
between sections of slabs, bridges, and other structures. The “assembly” can be as simple as
a caulked separation between two sections of the same materials. More recently, expansion
joints have been included in the design of, or added to existing, brick exterior walls for
similar purposes. In concrete and concrete block construction, the term applied is “control
joint,” but serves similar purposes. Throughout the year, building faces and concrete slabs
will expand and contract due to the warming and cooling of our planet through the seasons.
The structures would crack under the stress of thermal expansion and contraction if
expansion joint gaps were not built into the structures. Even today the expansion joint gaps
are often neglected during the design process, and simple caulking is used to fill these gaps
to complete a project. This simple caulking cannot handle the thermal expansion due to the
changing seasons, ultimately leaving a leak point in the structure. This expansion joint
becomes the main source of leakages in the structure which can ruin the interiors of the
building if not sealed or treated confidently. Waterproofing these joints often an overlooked
aspect of waterproofing design and detailing.
DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS: INTEGRATED NOVEL APPROACHA Makwana
Every civil engineering structure is designed for a certain life period generally 100 years. After that the existence of a structure is very dangerous and unstable, which may cause a severe impact and be a cause of many deaths. So removal of such structures with proper safety measures has got great importance. Before any demolition of any type is employed in an area, it is vital that the rescue phase has ended completely. The rescue teams must have given clear information to the contractors that their rescue phase is finished in the selected area, since any demolition work carried out may reveal survivors. Such situations are highly sensitive and must be respected. A major disaster has an economic effect on the local region since the loss of buildings, lifelines and infrastructure results in a slump in the local economy. It is therefore important to boost the economy by employing as much local expertise and workforce as possible. This creates a unity in rehabilitation in the community and results in a more stable recovery. Due to this scenario, the demolition work should be carried out by a consortium, especially set up to do the work rather than commissioning the work to individual companies. This consortium must be set up in regions of high seismic risk to ensure rapid formation after a disaster. This will combat the eventual competitiveness of the large financial investors in the community which could result in a monopoly controlled by certain individuals. It would therefore be preferable to have a local demolition joint-venture to generate the needed local income after a disaster. There will, however, be a certain need for outside managerial and consultancy aid, especially in the developing countries, and this must be acknowledged and respected. The cooperation with the outside aid must be extensive and at a high level in conjunction with the local representatives so as to maintain as much of the local culture and style as possible. The outside consultants must be cautious when introducing major resources, such as machinery, into the post-disaster phases since this may be seen as taking work away from local resources.
ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT: NEED OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYA Makwana
Termites popularly known as white ants cause considerable damage to wood works,
furnishing etc. of buildings. The Latin name Isoptera means "equal wing" and refers to the
fact that the front set of wings on a reproductive termite is similar in size and shape to the hind
set. Termites are social and can form large nests or colonies, consisting of very different
looking individuals (castes). There are more than 2,500 different types of termites in the world.
In some country the loss caused due to termites is estimated to be as high as 10% of the capital
outlay of the building. Anti-termite treatment is therefore necessary so that damages are either
reduced or stopped together. Through regular inspections, a termite specialist can help
identify common hot spots for activity and warning signs for a termite infestation, plus share
tips to help keep termites at bay. Termites can fit through cracks as thin as an average business
card (1/32 inch) so proper maintenance is crucial to seal up any gaps around the foundation
and roof/eaves. To identify the termite and its uniqueness, the life cycle of termite is necessary
to understand. Anti- termites are used to combat the problem. There are combinations of
methods depending on what sort of damage is done by the termites. The treatment has to be
implemented at the time of construction for effective and permanent solution.
INTELLIGENT BUILDING NEW ERA OF TODAYS WORLDA Makwana
A building that uses both technology and process to create a facility that is safe,
healthy and comfortable and enables productivity and well-being of its occupants. With lots
of energy crisis in today‟s world now it‟s important for architects, engineers and construction
managers to make buildings which are energy efficient and intelligent by its functions and as
well as its usage, too. Technologies applied in intelligent buildings will improve the building
environment and functionality for occupants, while reducing operational costs. Smart or
clever buildings, perhaps focus on control systems, but intelligent buildings go far beyond
this. An intelligent building has an implicit logic that effectively evolves with changing user
requirements and technology, ensuring continued and improved intelligent operation,
maintenance and optimization. It exhibits key attributes of environmental sustainability to
benefit present and future generations. An intelligent building system concept recognizes that
the true cost of the building is not its cost of construction; it must include the operating and
maintenance costs over the structure‟s life span. Intelligent buildings yield cost reductions
over all these areas by optimizing energy use through automated control, communication and
management systems. They also guard against repair costs, employee time, productivity loss,
revenue loss and the loss of customers to competitors. Now a day, all heard of „sickbuilding‟
syndrome and the misery this can inflict in the workplace in terms of poor health
and lost production. The notion of the Intelligent Building is the modern civil engineer's Big
Idea in tackling these and other such deficiencies. The intelligent building can adapt itself to
maintain an optimized environment. An intelligent building must be smart enough to vary the
environment to suit the users and also to provide various means of communication or
network regardless of whether it is internal or external. At an even more fundamental level
intelligent buildings can cope with social and technological change and also are adaptable to
human needs. This paper provides a review of research era in the area of Intelligent Building
with case studies.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Abstract: Human resource is required for an organization to conduct different business
activities. Without the support of human resource, the organization cannot exist or operate
effectively. The success of any organization depends on the effective use of human resources.
Human resource is the major contributory force for any kind of organization in India. Due to
this, management of this human resource, i.e. Human Resource Management (HRM) must
have more significance in India. Also, human resources are major risky to manage in the
construction field, as they are not mostly permanent like other industries. Therefore, it is
necessary to analyze the Human Resource Management (HRM) in the construction industry.
However, studies have shown that research on HRM in the project management context is yet
undeveloped and publications are relatively rare and most research simply involves case
studies or expert reports. Past research has been done on HRM are mostly qualitative and
there is a lack of quantitative research. Due to this lack of quantitative research, there is no
good-developed framework for factors affecting HRM in the construction industry. A
framework of human resource management has been developed. This framework contains 73
factors and it is divided in 8 Main Criterias as: (a) Job Analysis and HR Planning, (b)
Recruitment and Selection, (c) Education and Training, (d) Retaining, Motivation and
Performance Appraisal, (e) Compensation and Rewards, (f) Employment Relations, (g)
Health and Safety, (h) Other External Factors. Data is collected through questionnaires and
personal interviews targeting Engineers, Project Managers, HR Managers and Contractors.
All factors affecting HRM have been ranked using RII Method, IMP.I. Method and RIR
Method using the response acquired from stakeholders.

I. INTRODUCTION
Human resources are nothing but the personals working in the organizations for
achieving the goals of the business and earning benefits for themselves for their survivals or
for their specific purpose. They may be skilled, semi-skilled or may be unskilled. Human
resource management deals with the management of these human resources for achieving the
desired business goals. Human resource management incorporates the vast fields like
construction, banking, manufacturing, processing, etc. Every type of business includes human
resources in it thus; human resource management is a very important component of the every
type of organizations in today’s developing world. It deals with the vacancy identification,
recruitment and selection, retention of employees, motivation, etc. Thus, it deals closely with
effective utilization of human resources of a business. So, human resource management is the
unavoidable component in every business because without it we cannot get the work done,
which may lead to un-fulfillment of the goals of a business.
II. NEED OF THE STUDY
Human resources are the major risky to manage in the construction field, as they are not
mostly permanent like other industries. They may change from project to project, place to
place, time to time and also with respect to the type of work. Therefore, factors influencing
human resources management are very much critical for any construction firms. And also, the
studied literature shows that there is a very strong need to carry out this kind of quantitative
study because in the past, there is much rare work has been done like this study. This thesis
deals with the identification of factors influencing effective utilization of human resources
(which is to be carried out by human resources management) in the construction firms and
develops a model for future use in study in the area of HRM in the construction. Thus, it is
very worthy to carry out the research like this is to be done by integrating the past literature,
then developing a model and finally carrying out the investigation.
III. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To identify the factors related to human resource management of construction firms.
To develop the integrated framework that can be useful in analyzing factors affecting
the human resource management of construction firms.

To determine Engineers, Project Managers, Human Resource (HR) Managers and
Contractors perceptions towards the relative importance of the key indicators of HRM
of construction firms in central Gujarat region of India.
To identify the most significant key indicators of HRM of construction firms in
central Gujarat region of India.
IV.SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this research work of development of human resource management is
considered for four cities of Central Gujarat Region of India: Ahmedabad, Nadiad, Anand,
and Vadodara.
V. SURVEY WORK AND DATA COLLECTION
The data collection to determine the most influential factors on HRM practices of
construction firms was done through a survey by explorative questionnaire to the respondents
involved in daily activities of construction firms in various regions in the central Gujarat
region of India. The questionnaire was designed so that respondents can give the rank to their
answers based on the Likert scale. The analysis of these data was done by Relative
Importance Index (RII) method, Important Index (IMP.I.) Method, Relative Importance
Ration (RIR) Method using Microsoft Excel.
VI.SAMPLE SIZE CALCULATION
To obtain statistically representative sample size of the population, following equation 1
is used:
………………………………….……………………………................. (1)
Where, n, m and N represents the sample size of limited, unlimited and available
population respectively. Here, m is calculated by following equation 2.
……………..………………………….………………................... (2)
Where,
z = the statistic value for the confidence level used, i.e. 1.96 and 1.645 for 95% and
90% confidence level respectively

p = the value of the population that estimated
e = the sampling error to estimated, because the value of p is unknown.
(Sinich et al. (2002) suggest the value 0.5 to be used in sample size.)
According to the targeted City and Stakeholders, the total no. of available population
comprises of 618 construction firms. Table-1 represents the distribution of the sample
population among the cities considered for the study. The number of construction firms for
Ahmedabad, Anand and Nadiad are taken from the list of registered contractors of Road and
Building Department of Gujarat. The number of construction firms in Vadodara is taken from
the list from yellow pages.
TABLE 1: - POPULATION DISTRIBUTION AMONG THE AREA OF STUDY
City Construction Firms Source
Ahmedabad (a) 355 Road and Building Department, Gujarat
Anand (b) 98 Road and Building Department, Gujarat
Nadiad (c) 55 Road and Building Department, Gujarat
Vadodara (d) 110 Yellow Pages
Total (a + b +c +d) 618
Thus,
Here, the confidence level is taken as 90%.
Thus, contact with minimum 62 respondents of construction firms must be made for this
study. To overcome the risk of not responding from the respondents and to reflect higher
reliability and benefits for the study, the sample of 70 construction firms is considered and if
possible, more than these respondents shall be contacted.

VIII. RANKING METHODS
A. Relative Importance Index (RII) Method
Relative Importance Index method helps to determine the relative importance of the
various factors affecting HRM of major construction firms. The six-point scale ranging from
1 (No impact on HRM) to 6 (Very high impact on HRM) is adopted and it is transformed to
relative importance indices (RII) for each factor as follows:
.....………………………………………………………………………... (3)
Where:
W = the weight given to each factor by the respondents and ranges from 1 to 6
A = the highest weight = 6
N = the total number of respondents
B. Importance Index (IMP.I.) Method
Assaf and Al-Hejji (2006) used this Importance Index (IMP.I.) as a function of severity &
frequency to rank the causes of delay of large construction projects of Saudi Arabia.
1) Frequency Index (F.I.): A formula is used to rank risk event based on frequency of
occurrence as identified by the participants.
……………………………….………….. (4)
Where,
a = constant expressing weighting given to each response (ranges from 1 for rarely
upto 4 for always)
n = frequency of the responses
N = total number of responses
2) Severity Index (S.I.): A formula is used to rank risk event based on severity as indicated
by the participants.
………………....……………………….. (5)
Where,
a = constant expressing weighting given to each response (ranges from 1 for little upto
4 for severe)
n = frequency of the responses
N = total number of responses

3) Importance Index (IMP.I.): The importance index of each event is calculated as a function
of both frequency and severity indices, as follows:
………………………......……………………….. (6)
C. Relative Importance Ratio (RIR) Method
Haseeb et al. (2011) applied this statistical formula to find out the relative importance of
different causes of delays and effects in construction projects of Pakistan.
……….......……………………….. (7)
Where,
RIR = relative importance ratio (ranging from 0 to 1)
PR = percentage of respondents
I = importance
TR = total respondents
In the RIR value, zero is not inclusive. Lower the RIR value, higher the effective or
important the variable.
