| Abstract (eng): | This study examines increasing efficiency and effectiveness of construction projects by reducing non-value adding activities from the contracting process and benefiting from repetitive nature of projects. The construction industry in general suffers from low productivity growth and processes that contain a considerable amount of waste and thus companies have lately begun to invest in developing their execution process in addition to the outcome. The study focuses in operations executed in pre-construction phase as most costs and objectives are determined before construction begins and thus efficiency and effectiveness can also be influenced significantly at that stage. The empirical part of the research was executed as a qualitative case study. The case organisation of this study is a Finnish municipal contracting organisation that operates in the construction industry. The study also included benchmarking of other organisations' processes. In total 20 semi-structured were conducted for data collection. The research identifies that efficiency of project-based production is highly dependent of several actors that are often included into projects. Thus, people also affect process development practices and in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness of a contracting process, all project team members and stakeholders have to be motivated to eliminate waste and develop the process continuously. In general waste is generated if the actors don't share objectives or the collaboration isn't effective. These issues can be addressed with successful project network management. Also it was found out that the preparatory work done with stakeholders prior to construction design sets a basis for an efficient process. In addition, the study concludes that recurrent nature of projects can be exploited by standardising the project network and transferring people from project to project, replicating process and solutions to a certain extent to subsequent projects and creating bids so that suppliers can anticipate realising economies of repetition. |
