Large scale engineering project process and user requirements

Mitrovic, D; Male, S; Hunter, I A N and Watson, A (1999) Large scale engineering project process and user requirements. Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 6(1), pp. 38-50. ISSN 0969-9988

Abstract

This paper presents results from an analysis of Large Scale Engineering (LSE) project process conducted within the ESPRIT 20876 project eLSEwise'. The paper describes the LSE project processes, interfaces with business processes, the effects of the changing market place, and current process barriers. In searching how these barriers can be reduced or eliminated, the LSE industry information requirements and Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) requirements were explored.

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
