Project Management Of Centralized Deputized Construction Management Based On Process Improvement

Projects management of Centralized Deputized Construction Management has high demands due to the particularity of capital source and extensive social influence. This kind of project management is of complex in essence, which is embodied in project variety, target diversity, management hierarchy, environment openness, numerous paritcipant and information complex. In fact, many problems are occured such as cooperation difficulty, low management efficiency, information exchange difficulty and so on, especially in the situation of tight time limit of project. So it is essential that management concept and management methods should be changed to meet the challenges.It is important that conducting agent project management starts with analysing the essence of project management process. Based on Business Process Improvement, a upgrading mechanism of agent project management was bulit up. In addition, three critical elements of the upgrading mechanism and five principles of project management process improvement were analyzed in detail.After agent project management process were analyzed thoroughly, a comprehensive process improvement and process simulation method based on Petri was proposed. The method was suitable for the complexity of agent project management process improvement and was applied to a typical Centralized Deputized Construction Management Institution. Two key agent project management processes were anlysized. One was premilinary work for construction process, and the other was cost payment process. Two processes were also simulated by ExSpect software to learn about the risk features of process improvement. Practical application showed the time of improved processes was shortened obviosly, and the proposed process improvement method was effective.On the basis of improved agent project management process, a multi-project collaborative management system was designed and developed by means of computer technology and network technique. The system covered the whole agent project management process including project feasibility studies, design, bidding, construction and other constrution processes. Based on workflow engine, the beginning of a project is the starting of a process and management work were driven by project management process. The system can give correct guidance to people to deal with their business and user interface can be customized according to different demands of different people. Based on Data mining technique, different useful data were extracted and integrated to be some key indexes and was shown in a brief, definite way for managers. The system is suitable for multi-stage and multi-level project management for multi-projects, and provides great supports for multi-project collaborative management.Agent project management process needs continuous improvement. Considering the traits of agent project management, a project management process continuous improvement mechanism was proposed. The model of project management capability consists of five grades, which are experience grade, basic grade, specification grade, intergration grade and lean grade. A agent project management process maturaity model based on fuzzy recognition was designed. By which, some useful improvement information can be obtained and can be used for agent project management process improvement in the future.
