Wang, C H; Tsai, C H and Cheng, Y Y (2007) Knowledge-based diagnosis model for PCM executing problems in public construction. Construction Management and Economics, 25(2), pp. 129-142. ISSN 1466433X
Abstract
A knowledge-based diagnosis model for PCM executing problems in Taiwan public construction is proposed by using a new fuzzy-neural approach. The diagnosis model confirms the causalities of the critical executing problems. By inputting the fuzziness of semantic description of the problems in the design phase this model can deduce the corresponding influence of the problems in the construction phase. The gravity of the problem is measured by the specific lagging percentage of estimated pricing progress. Finally, the data is integrated into a database management system to facilitate application, so as to make this diagnosis model an efficient instrument for public construction management.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
