Quality management has significantly evolved over more than the last half-century, and the methods and techniques involved have been developed, their levels described in detail. During this evolutionary process, quality has been defined in several quality management sources, and its interpretation has changed and been positioned at high levels. Although the role of quality in projects is critical, it has not been defined as well in general. Quality in projects has been addressed in numerous textbooks, international methodologies, and articles, yet it has not been harmonized. This conference paper covers the first part of a research project with the ultimate goal of a proper definition of quality in project management, which will allow us to measure and predict quality during project execution. For this purpose, we review the definitions of quality and the significant milestones in general and project management. So, deriving from the research project, the goal of this paper is to overview quality in project management by comparing it with the scientific position in quality management. This research provides all the necessary bases to serve the objectives mentioned above. Through the final research findings, we could suggest future research that will bring project management up to date not only in the quality definition but also in the practice of quality management.

It has taken decades for the use of milestones to be accompanied by sophisticated methods, even those required by law. Earned Value Management (EVM) is a managerial method used to control projects in terms of cost, time, and progress. Although many researchers have studied the EVM concept, only a few have attempted to suggest EVM frameworks for concurrent analysis of additional elements beyond time, cost, and progress. The importance of EVM is indicated by the fact that it is now a permanent chapter in methodologies and standards. In the meantime, several studies have shown EVM’s shortcomings, and a number of researchers have proposed possible solutions (e.g., Earned Schedule or Earned Duration). This conference paper will summarize the most critical and recent additions, and based on them, further extension possibilities can be suggested.

CY - Budapest SN - 9786155270796 PY - 2023 SP - 432 EP - 439 PG - 8 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34080791 ID - 34080791 AB - Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a widely used productivity metric for different pieces of equipment. It provides information on the effectiveness of production, so the percentage of valuable operation time to planned uptime of the machine. The OEE, as the core metric of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), helps to identify losses in production and quantify operational efficiency allowing actions to be taken that contribute to the continuous improvement of the plant. Despite or perhaps due to its popularity, OEE is not an accurate, well-defined measure. This is because the same considerations cannot be used equally well in different industries or may serve different purposes from one company to another, causing modifications in the calculation and measurement methods. Therefore, the OEE concept may mean other things from company to company, industry to industry. Researchers have tried identifying and overcoming the drawbacks of the original OEE by defining new calculations and creating new metrics. This study aims to overview the indicators available in the literature and compare their advantages/disadvantages. It also seeks to clarify these different definitions, naming conventions, calculation methods, and investigate their usability and the limitations of applicability.

Construction projects usually take much longer than typical projects in other sectors. In this sector, it is important to follow some kind of standardised risk management process. There is much literature on different approaches to project risk management, and this paper reviews the most prominent sources that suggest procedures that are widely used in practice. Nevertheless, standard risk management still faces some shortcomings, and professionals call for a more sophisticated solution. This research aims to expand the general risk management process based on the frameworks of the prestigious stand-ardisation institutions and associations (mainly on Project Management Institute's (PMI's) risk management standard considering the approaches of Institute of Risk Management (IRM), National Forum for Risk Management in the Public Sector (ALARM), Association of Insurance and Risk Managers (AIRMIC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as well as Association for Project Management (APM)). The suggested two new processes are justified by in-depth interviews conducted with interviewees working on large and complex construction projects, and are supported by a thorough literature review. The novelty of the research is that these two processes added to the standard processes, namely, risk analysis verification and validation and risk plan experimentation. The research expectedly improves the risk management process in the construction sector and emphasises the need to clearly articulate and communicate the organisation's risk appetite and the necessity for risk management training to employees. Therefore, the research reconfirms the concept of project risk management by the standards, and justifies the proposed new phases.

Poor safety management may result in accidents that have an impact on human, economic, and legal issues. Therefore, it is necessary to consider safety and health as a project success factor along with other fundamental project success factors, such as time, cost, and quality. Organizations have a knowledge deficit of implementing long-term safety practices, and due to cost control, safety problems tend to receive the least priority. Professionals usually assume that safety management involves expenditures unrelated to production goals, thereby considering it unnecessary for profitability and competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to introduce, analyze and identify the association between the orientation of the public safety procedures of an organization and the public safety standards applied in the project. Therefore, the authors develop the process and collect the possible mathematical statistical tools supporting this goal. The result shows that the adoption of management to safety is a significant factor in implementing the safety standard in the project and thereby improving safety performance. It may take time and effort to adopt the mindset of safety orientation service development, but at the same time, the higher organizational investment in safety and health programs will contribute to the loyalty of staff to safety compliance.
