QUESTION :
Taylor’s University is intending to build a branch campus in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Based on Taylor’s University plan they require the branch campus to be operational in mid-2019. Your quantity surveying firm, Innovative Cost Consultant Sdn. Bhd., of which you are a director, has been appointed to provide advice on the procurement system and the tendering methods that are to be adopted in carrying out the project.
The management of the University has informed you that the following requirements are of priority:
i) Cost to completion to be within the budget fixed.
ii) Timely delivery of the facility in order to commence operation in mid- 2019.
You are required to prepare a report to Taylor’s University recommending the procurement system and the tendering method to be adopted.
In your report you shall consider the procurement systems commonly used. You shall list out and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each system before making your recommendation.
As for the tendering methods, you shall consider all the three methods; i.e. open, selective and direct negotiation methods. Similarly you are to describe the advantages and disadvantages of each method before arriving at your recommendation.
Your report shall clearly explain your reasons for your recommendations.
Based on the above recommendations you are also required to prepare a simple programme or schedule in a form of bar chart showing the various activities commencing from the confirmation of the procurement system until completion of the project.
Business students often learn about business management or product marketing in a traditional classroom setting. Unfortunately, this pedagogical method suffers from a major drawback i.e. it does not provide students with the practical experiences that are equally important as their theoretical counterpart. As a consequence, the students’ mastery in these topics is superficial and unstimulating.
To address this shortcoming, this project will provide students with an opportunity to run a mock business venture and thereby gain the relevant practical experiences. In addition, it will also fulfil another learning objective i.e. to comprehend the social responsibilities of a business and how to discharge them effectively. For this last purpose, students will donate 100% of their profits from the project to the charitable organization of their choice.
This event has enabled us to describe and analyse the theories of human resources management, marketing, production and finance and their applications. Other than that, we can also apply ethical and social responsibilities as well as undertake leadership roles and make quality decisions/judgments in the context of simulated business environments.
In this assignment, the students are given the opportunity to research 2 businesses and evaluate their competitive behaviours, and present the findings in a written report.
The assignment assist students in developing a better appreciation in ratio analysis and interpretation as a tool for evaluating real-world companies. By reading and analysing the annual reports of publicly-traded companies, students can acquire valuable skills such as deciphering the various details contained in an accounting report, give informed opinions about the company’s business operations and make recommendations regarding the worthiness of the business’ common shares as an investment medium.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Weaken finishing handling capacity.
04
31. BREIFING STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• Not flexible with construction cost variation
BIM software estimates the total expected construction cost by providing
the cost-to-complete of a project. However, BIM does not count price
variations that might be occurred.
Unforeseeable variations:
05
32. BREIFING STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• High cost of software, hardware and training
Current trends show that the cost of BIM software packages tends to be
more expensive than CAD software packages available on the market.
06
33. DESIGN STAGE
BENEFITS
Logistic Resource Efficiency
at the Design Stage
• The ability to create a detailed
3D model
BIM reduced the demand for paper
drawings and their revisions.
The use of BIM saw the estimated
reduction of 9,000 paper drawings in the design phase.
07
34. DESIGN STAGE
BENEFITS
Logistic Resource Efficiency
at the Design Stage
• Improved holistic communication
BIM has driven efficiencies across the whole design, contractor and
supply-chain teams.
Thus, BIM has saved 15,000 hours collective man hours throughout the
design development progress.
08
35. DESIGN STAGE
BENEFITS
Logistic Resource Efficiency
at the Design Stage
• Improved efficiency of
design procedure
BIM streamlined the design process,
improving not only collaboration but the
early management and integration of expertise on the project
09
36. DESIGN STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• Required experienced team members
A dedicated BIM team member must have the knowledge to manipulate the
model and address any changes. With such a large model and an inexperienced
team member, access to the design sometimes required two or three team
members.
11
37. DESIGN STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• Transition from drafting to modeling
When moving from a CAD-based drafting environment to a BIM-based
modeling environment, a change in the workflow will surround what used
to be simple drafting tasks such as copying markups or picking up
redlines.
12
38. PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGE
BENEFITS
• Using 3D or 4D site coordination models
The planning through using BIM enhances site utilization, space
coordination, and product information. A 4D model can either include a
site logistics plan or tools such as SMARTBOARD.
13
39. PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGE

the contractors can perform fairly
accurate quantity survey and
prepare detailed estimates
during the tender preparation
stage.
15
41. PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• Time Consideration
BIM enhances the use of “design to build” and “build to design” concepts.
The visualization, fabrication, coordination, and construction planning
were carefully studied
• Electronic Data Transfer – Data Sharing
Contractual issue to address is who will control the entry of data into the
model and be responsible for any inaccuracies.
16
42. CONSTRUCTION STAGE
BENEFITS
• BIM in Prefabrication
Prefabrication reduces
field labor cost and time
and increases accuracy
in a good quality
construction.
17
44. CONSTRUCTION STAGE
CONSTRAINTS
• Time Consuming
The use of BIM based scheduling is recommended for only detailed
construction planning and monitoring for activities such as quality control
and quality assurance programs as well as punchlists because it requires
more effort to create and update activities.
• Disruptive
Although one of the advantages of using a BIM model is that changes can
be made quickly, BIM can disrupt the general procurement and
construction process when ordering items that require a long lead-time.
19
45. POST-CONSTRUCTION STAGE
BENEFITS
• Easy access into Facility Management Operations
For example, the information that is extracted for a piece of equipment
such as a VAV box are location, name, model number, product type,
operation and maintenance manuals, commissioning information and
performance data. This makes it very simple for a maintenance worker to
access the required information vital to different systems in the building.
