Determining The Effects Of Awarding Lowest Bid Price System On The Construction Projects Of Ethiopian Southern Nation

Identifying the effects of low bid award system in construction projects can be used as benchmark to find alternative method to low bid award system in the future of construction industry. The results of questioner survey conducted to determine the effects of awarding lowest bid award system in construction projects of Ethiopian southern nation are presented in this study. Personnel from consultants, owners and contractors are among the survey`s respondent. The result of the study outlines promote transparency, avoid fraud and corruption, promoting competition amongst contractors, excessive time overrun, compromise quality and hindering profitability of contractors as the top ranked effects of low bid award system. Construction industry participants have started recognizing that accepting the least price bid does not guarantee maximum value. Achieving a value-based procurement approach is a challenge, particularly for the Pakistani public sector clients, who are limited in their ability to evaluate the competitive bids based solely on the lowest-bid award system. Persisting problems of inferior quality of constructed facilities, high incidence of claims and litigation, and frequent cost and schedule overruns have become the main features of public construction works contracts. This research was undertaken to assess the performance of public owned construction projects awarded on a lowest bidder bid awarding system.

Scientifically and reasonably formulate enrollment standards, and strengthen the construction of the Management Committee of Chinese foreign cooperation in running schools.

National Innovation System: Construction in Progress

The article examines the evolution of the innovation system in Russia over the past years, based on international data. A comparative analysis of the strengths is carried out and development problems are shown, among which the main attention is paid to the low degree of connectedness of the main actors: science, education, the business sector and the state. In recent years, numerous state initiatives have been undertaken with the purpose to place Russia among the countries - world leaders in the field of science, technology and innovation. The strengths of Russia have been and remain the quality of human capital (secondary and tertiary education) and the knowledge creation (number of researchers, number of patents).Opportunities for transforming generated knowledge into innovative goods and services are limited by the low quality of regulatory and political institutions and weak interaction of individual elements of the innovation system

The weight comparison calculation and analysis of the links at all levels in the emergency response system is carried out using the hierarchical analysis method based on the basic experience of current domestic related fields for the construction of the emergency response process system, and the results of the relative importance ranking of indicators are obtained, and this is used to provide emergency response and emergency management decision makers with emergent information.

Research on the Model of Interaction and Coupling Relationship between Standard System Construction and Process Management

The fundamental motivation for enterprises to build a standard system is to meet the subjective needs of the unique use nature of standards, such as benchmarking and criteria, from input to output in the baseline relationship of all their business processes. How to guess the credibility and value of the standard system requires collaborative and mature processes to mediate cognition. Firstly, this paper clarifies the philosophical relationship between standard system construction and process management by using the general system structure theory. Secondly, it systematically summarizes the interaction mechanism between the two from the perspective of methodology. Finally, it designs a conceptual model with the "human regulation" composite system as the core and the coupling between standard system construction and the outer edge of process management, and combed the three mechanism characteristics that affect the fit of the coupling model. In order to provide a new integration idea for enterprise standardization management and process management to jointly realize the optimal value utility.

A method of implementing a system that provides the possibility of constant monitoring of the growing environment and provides an opportunity to influence it is suggested. The choice of components for system construction is made. The algorithm of the program operation is described. An analysis of the relationship between system components and the user's relationship with the system is performed.

A data structures for purpose of the BIM-based Life Cycle Assessment: A review and theoretical background

The article deals with the data structure for the purpose of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of buildings using the Building Information Model (BIM). Construction industry produces a significant amount of waste and on the other hand the capacities of landfills are almost filled. It is necessary to deal with the effective use of materials that have already been used and have potential to be reused again. LCA is a method that can be used to demonstrate the suitability of proposed materials, structures or buildings in terms of their whole life cycle and its environmental impact. BIM includes, in addition to geometry, the information part. This data can be used for life cycle inventory (LCI) and then for the assessment itself. The aim of the article is to analyse previous approaches and define which data structure is necessary to be obtained from the BIM model for the LCI purpose of a specific material. The proposed methodology of the data recognition and selection is based on data structure of non-graphical database called SNIM, which was developed for the Czech construction environment. The article is also focused on the theoretical background of the newly developed classification system Construction Classification International (CCI).
