  ABSTRACT

          Engineering procurement construction projects play an important role in national
  economic development. India, which contributed approximately 8.5% to the total of India’s
  GDP. Project schedule slips, budget overruns, compromised quality, resulting claims and
  counter-claims problems have plagued the industry. The reasons for poor project
  performances abound. Previous researches have dealt much with the problems of project risk
  and uncertainty, variations in project outcomes, work fragmentation, complex relationships
  among stakeholders and activities, and excessive phase overlaps in general. In this paper
  dealt with EPC industries project success factors
          Construction projects are implementing different phases., viz., conception phase,
  definition phase, planning phase, scheduling phase, controlling phase and termination phase
  Various factors affect construction projects performance and success of projects i.e.,
  completion periods of projects , project budget and better service to owner’s of project. The
  objective of this paper studying success factors variables, project functions, project activities,
  of project team members, project team members skills, attitude, experience, project tools,
  methods of project implementation enhancing the business performance of engineering
  procurement construction industries. Construction projects completion times are in line with
  owner’s requirements, and identifying gap reduction factors between project budget and
  project cost and improving business performance enhancing factors for construction project
  industries. To collect data, to record the collected data in tabular format, to analyze the
  recorded data by using statistical procedure and interpret ate success factors plays role in the

India, which contributed approximately 8.5% to the total of India’s GDP. Project schedule slips, budget overruns, compromised quality, resulting claims and counter-claims problems have plagued the industry. The reasons for poor project performances abound. Previous researches have dealt much with the problems of project risk and uncertainty, variations in project outcomes, work fragmentation, complex relationships among stakeholders and activities, and excessive phase overlaps in general. In this paper dealt with EPC industries project success factors Construction projects are implementing different phases., viz., conception phase, definition phase, planning phase, scheduling phase, controlling phase and termination phase Various factors affect construction projects performance and success of projects i.e., completion periods of projects , project budget and better service to owner’s of project. The objective of this paper studying success factors variables, project functions, project activities, of project team members, project team members skills, attitude, experience, project tools, methods of project implementation enhancing the business performance of engineering procurement construction industries. Construction projects completion times are in line with owner’s requirements, and identifying gap reduction factors between project budget and project cost and improving business performance enhancing factors for construction project industries. To collect data, to record the collected data in tabular format, to analyze the recorded data by using statistical procedure and interpret ate success factors plays role in the EPC industry business operations. 30

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is studying to overcome construction projects complexities problems through successful factors of projects functions from conception phase to termination phase [1] (functions starts from conception phase, definition phase, planning phase, scheduling phase, implementation phase, monitoring and controlling phase and termination phases). Identifying complex functions with various variables to enhance complex function performance in construction projects operations [7]. Success factors to optimize the complexities of construction projects. Exhausted literature survey and EPC industry site visits are used to design and to develop the questionnaire. The questionnaire circulates amongst engineering procurement construction industries, Consultant, owners, Construction management CEO, programme managers, project managers around 500 numbers questionnaires are mailed, personally submitted with request, and received 43numbers. Questionnaires The questionnaire contents five parts viz., part-A(Company information), part-B(Measuring project success), part-C(Factors affecting project success), part-D(Use of computer packages for project management) and part-E(Project delay). Questionnaires analysis gives various functions complexities in execution of construction projects and corresponding variables (task, resources, time, and precedence) favors for success of functions and affecting success of construction projects execution. 2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY • To interview senior management of contractor, Construction management, consultant and owner of the project, EPC industry project head and visit to meet construction project site head interact and to collect the research related data and information • To collect research related data and information of EPC industry through literature survey of referred research problems related national and international journals • To design and to develop questionnaire with five parts of questionnaire part- A(Company information), part-B(Measuring project success), part-C(Factors affecting project success), part-D(Use of computer packages for project management) and part-E(Project delay). • Data and information of EPC industries related business operations problems collected through questionnaires. • To record data and information from the collected questionnaires in the excel sheet and in the tabular format. Statistical tools are using to analyze the data and information. • To observe and compare the business operations of EPC industries research related different problems and various characteristics of business operational activities, various operational factors to enhance the business performance activities and characteristics of operational variables [7]. To conclude the variables and factors are involves in success of EPC industries business operations. 31
