Fundamental Study on Countermeasures for Overseas Construction Project Trouble

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose method that can specify structure of occurred construction problems and provide countermeasure by using data in the collection of overseas construction project problems published by Engineering Advancement Association Japan. In details, based on changes in the elements of the standard project process described in the IDEF0, we recognize those construction’s activitties that can not be executed as occurrence of a problem, and extract those problem factors. Furthermore, by modeling the mechanism how problem factors affect the operating process based on their connections to each other, we will identify present / potential problem factors and propose problem solving method. Finally, we also propose some suggestions as developing countermeasures from past cases to align with current situation.
