...procurement systems used by the construction industry world wide. The different procurement systems differ from each other in term of allocation of responsibilities, activities sequencing, process and procedure and organizational approach in project delivery. These differences have invariably affected the project performance. Project performance has been defined as “the degree of achievement of certain effort or undertaking” which relates to the prescribed goals or objectives that form the project parameters. There are many other elements that determine project success, but the focus of this paper is on the three critical parameters or project performance i.e. time, cost and quality. The aim of this paper is to look into the effect of the different procurement systems on the project performance. Since there are many different project procurement systems, it is appropriate for the purpose of this presentation to limit to the common ones i.e. traditional system, design and build and management contracting. Keyword: Project procurement, performance, time, cost and quality INTRODUCTION The procurement of construction project is vast in scope because it involves the gathering and organizing of myriads of separate individuals, firms and companies to design, manage and build construction products such as houses, office buildings, shopping complex, roads, bridges etc. for specific clients or “customers”. Procurement comes the word procure which literally means “to obtain by care or effort”;...

... The process that I am selecting is Residential Home Building. Hypothetically, let’s say that I own a residential construction business and my company just does the rough framing because that is what we specialize in. I sub contract out all the work that is not appealing to me such as the concrete, plumbing, electrical, and the finish plumbing and by just focusing on framing we get more production which means more money and that makes us a successful company wright? WRONG! If in fact I sub contract out all that work, I now have to add that into the price of the home which may deviate customers from buying my homes. To be a successful builder I need to cut the costs from sub-contracting to keep my costs competitive. In order to be competitive in the market my company needs to become whole, to be able to do the job from start to finish which more and more builders are leaning towards these days. I will do this by starting my own separate division within my company such as the plumbing, concrete, electrical, and finish carpentry. I will send those who are willing to learn, as well as myself through the proper training to accommodate for the expansion of the company. With the company expanding, we are now adding more internal customers while the external customers, such as the sub-contractors are virtually eliminated leaving only one valuable customer, the consumer. The internal customers are listed in precedence of importance. 1. Concrete Form Carpenters 2. Rough...

Values can be described “as a set of manners that individuals learn while growing up. At times values are different from ethics because usually ethics is publicly agreed upon and for a practice in a profession (“Organizational Development,”). This paper will show the ethical dilemmas and values regarding the role of Kindred Todd. It will explain why it is so important for the OD practitioner to have their values and how important it is because their “judgement will depend on their values.

...mission of “reduce cost”, “improve reliability”; DCI will need to implement strategic sourcing strategies as well as establishing a Hybrid purchasing organization. Strategic Sourcing Strategies To improve the purchasing process at DCI an Internet-based electronic purchasing system will need to be installed. The primary benefit of e-procurement include significant cost savings and the freeing up of time for purchasing staff to concentrate on more of the firms core business activities.

Duplicate data entry on the purchase order is eliminated. E-procurement eliminates non-value adding collection and sorting activities as well as lower prices of goods and services since more suppliers can be contacted and reduced inventory costs due to the ability to purchase on a more frequent basis.

...Exam 3 1. According to Carl Stenberg, what are the major types of federal grants and what are the distinctions between them? How have block grants in particular evolved over time? What are the major concerns that state, local, and federal officials have regarding block grants? According to Carl Stenberg, there are two types of federal grants: categorical aid, which is specified for a specific use or program; and block grants, which are less specific and are designed to reduce the federal burden or responsibilities on certain programs. Block grants are used as a tool for redistributing power and accountably by using devolution and decentralization of authority (Conlan and Posner, 2008, 264). Sternberg has divided block grants into three distinct approaches: full devolution, partial devolution, and intergovernmental decentralization. Full devolution is the total removal and redistribution of federal policy, funding, regulatory, and administrative responsibilities (Conlan and Posner, 2008, 264). In the 1990s, this was referred to as “devolution revolution” and consisted of rhetoric proposing to push more power away from the federal government and down to the state and local levels. Full devolution was not popular and was only successful a few times, using legislative, executive, and administrative devolution to shift functional responsibilities from the federal level to state governments, for example, the regulation of marine port pilots, insurance, interstate horse racing, shipping...
