Time delays and cost overrun are still a "scourge" in construction projects. The most important factors that cause these two risks are ineffective project planning and scheduling, and inaccurate quantity taking off. Thus, it is most appropriate to carry out mitigation since the project planning period. With the fact of increasing stadium construction in various countries, with iconic and futuristic design, and containing national pride, must be a serious concern so that the risk of time delay & cost overrun can be reduced. Because stadiums are like that usually involve a complex structural system, complicated installation technique with strict network diagrams. The M-PERT & BIM 5D - Based Quantity Take Off method has the potential to mitigate and minimize this risk. This study, with the RII simulation, reveals the critical success factor for applying the potential of this method, especially in stadium structural work. These factors can become a serious concern for construction practitioners, especially in Indonesia, who are and will build stadium projects. Keywords: Structure; Stadium; M-PERT; BIM 5D; RII.

Critical Success

The delay in the construction industry is a global phenomenon and the construction industry in Nepal can!t be the exception. To deliver the project product on time, within the budget, of quality in the safest manner is the goal of project management. Even potentially good projects are failing because of the weak project management performance in Nepalese construction projects. Due to the lack of research based findings in these areas, the new project managers are facing problems about in which areas they need to focus for successful delivery of the project. The purpose of this research is to find out the critical success  factors  of  project management  that  help  the  project  parties  reach  their  goal  as  planned  in Nepalese  hydropower projects. In this study, general success factors of project management were collected from various literatures and the pilot survey, rank them based on relative importance index (RII), and found top seven success factors as critical success factor. Based on the 85 responses from project managers and experts working in hydropower projects in the first stage study, top seven  success  factors  of  project  management  were  Effective  communication  between  project  team  members  (S1),  Job satisfaction  of  project  team  members  (S2),  Timely  decision  by  client  (S3),  Competence  of  the  project  manager  (S4), Effective coordination between stakeholders, public institutions (S5), Competence of the project team members (S6), Proper and timely supervision (S7).

Critical Success

This paper proposes the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a tool to rank different critical success factors (CSFs) for construction projects in Lithuania. Considering the current lack of understanding of CSFs within the local context, this study is one of the first attempts to gain an understanding of the CSFs in the local industry. Our study revealed that, for construction projects in Lithuania, clear and realistic project goals, project planning, the project manager's competence, relevant past experience of the project management/team, the competence of the project management/team, clear and precise goals/objectives of the client, the project's value, the project's complexity and uniqueness, the project manager's experience, and the client's ability to make timely decisions are the top-ranking CSFs. In view of these findings, the study highlighted the key areas for successful implementation of construction projects in Lithuania.

This paper presents arguments for the development of a strategy-led approach to planning and implementation of construction projects. It takes the position that there are deficiencies in traditional planning algorithms, which make them inefficient to cope with the unique character of construction projects. Thus a combination of construction project strategies crafted from experiential knowledge (reflective practice methodologies) and traditional planning algorithms are needed for successful construction project planning and implementation. To confirm the argument, the study investigates the influence of strategies on 35 critical success factors which were identified through literature. It uses a combination of data collected through a questionnaire survey of 40 NZIOB Excellence award recipients for the period 2001 to 2011, and interviews with three subject matter experts to validate the influence of the strategy-led approach towards some selected critical success factors. A correlation analysis shows that there is a positive relationship between increasing project complexity and the use of strategies. Further, content analysis of study information collected suggests that complementary approaches herein referred to as the strategy-led approach is needed to achieve successful project outcomes.

The article elaborates upon a successful model of postgraduate studies on lean manufacturing. The subject of the research was nine editions of the Kaizen Academy postgraduate studies organized by the Warsaw University of Technology and the Kaizen Institute in the years 2009–2018, that still enjoys interest in the market. A detailed qualitative analysis of this case, followed by a comparative analysis with other post-graduate programs of this type on the national, European, and global level should make it possible to find what is necessary to launch and actively operate for a long time in the (considerably competitive) market of qualification raising programs related to Lean Management (critical success factors). The study has also identified the differences between a successful program, analyzed in detail, and other available programs described in the literature and on the Internet. This has been achieved through a structured analysis of thirty-nine postgraduate programs identified by querying scientific databases and the Google Internet search engine. Best practices and models of postgraduate education on Lean Management have been discussed, and the thirty-nine programs comprising the identified sample have been compared. Considering the very general level of the data available in terms of the organization of postgraduate programs, it has also been assessed if they follow constructivism and experiential learning paradigms. This has been achieved by including the industrial days/visit indicator in the comparison. Given its high value, it has been identified as a success factor of the postgraduate curriculum on Lean Management.

Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) was a proficient tool to improve the quality of care by increasing the services effectiveness and efficiency in hospital. Unfortunately, the utilization of HMIS in developing countries was yet to be maximized when compared to that in developed countries. This study aimed to identify the critical success factor in implementing HMIS through SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis. SWOT analysis is a powerful approach for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of an entity from internal perspective, as well as the opportunities and threats from external perspective. The analysis showed that HMIS have the ability to provide more accurate data, timely available, faster documentation retrieval compared to paper-based system, and those considered as the HMIS implementation strengths. Competition in the hospital industry and government policies open the opportunity for immediate implementation of HMIS. Despite the benefits from implementing HMIS, the transition from the old to the new system has been rather slow. The hospital readiness from extra funding need, lack of skilled personnel, inadequate infrastructure to support system were a form of HMIS implementation weaknesses. External factors such as existing culture, technologies providers which underestimated healthcare complexity, also lack of communication and collaboration across organization became an obstacle that threatens HMIS implementation.
