Annotation Presents a portfolio of concepts, methods, models, and tools supported by real life case studies from various corners of the globe providing insights into the management of knowledge in the construction industry.
Firstly, the study describes the basic concepts of knowledge management, knowledge management systems and data mining and basic situations of the construction industry and construction enterprises, and studies on the relationship between data mining and knowledge management and their roles, as well as the algorithm and applications of data mining and priorities and hot issues of knowledge management of construction enterprises. Secondly, this study proposes the system architecture of construction enterprise knowledge management, especially the details of data mining part. Combined with the actual situations of construction enterprises, it designs a data mining model for construction enterprises based on six major aspects of cost, schedule, quality, safety, environmental protection and risk. In addition, this study designs the algorithm and application of Generalized Fuzzy Network (GFN) combined with the data mining model of construction enterprises and characteristics of construction project data based on the latest research results of data mining algorithms. Experiments show that the generalized fuzzy network is superior in the efficiency and effectiveness compared with similar algorithms. Finally, the study describes the implementation and application of data mining part in the knowledge management system of construction enterprises. The data mining-based knowledge management system of construction enterprises shows the advantages of modular and network system architecture, and the necessity of application of data mining to the knowledge management system of construction enterprises. The research and application results of this thesis mainly lie in the realization of data mining mode, algorithm and application based on the knowledge management system with a strong practicability and guidance.
It is commonly accepted that knowledge is an important asset in today's organizations. Businesses are starting to apply knowledge management theory in an effort to remain competitive in the dynamic environment of the 21st century. The construction industry has struggled to find ways to effectively embrace knowledge management and maximize its potential. This paper focuses on utilization of post-project reviews in an effort to aid in facilitation of this objective. First, the uniqueness, project delivery methods, and challenges associated with the construction industry are considered, as well as how these characteristics affect knowledge gathering and retention. Next, communication and the vital role that it plays in regard to knowledge management is investigated. The concept of post-project reviews is then presented as a means to implement knowledge management within this unique industry. Finally, primary research was conducted through a survey to gauge the current practices and perception of knowledge management and post-project reviews among construction professionals. The results of this study support the hypothesis that post-project reviews are an effective means to facilitate knowledge management in the construction industry. Additional conclusions are explored and recommendations for further research in the field are suggested.
Provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of all issues related to knowledge management, including conceptual, methodological, technical, and managerial issues. Presents the opportunities, future challenges, and emerging trends related to this subject.
An organisation’s competitive advantage lies in the knowledgeof its employees and the organisation’s ability to harnessthat knowledge to meet business objectives. Knowledge management isrecognised in the construction industry as a potential tool forproviding organisational benefits, but for a number of reasons– particularly the project based nature of construction,where teams are transient, multidisciplinary and often fromdifferent organisations – implementation has been onlymarginally successful. Capture and Reuse of Project Knowledge in Construction describesa methodology for the 'live' capture of reusable project knowledgethat reflects both the organisational and human dimensions ofknowledge capture and reuse, as well as exploiting the benefits oftechnology. This methodology was developed in response to theshortcomings of current practices in managing project knowledge,the benefits offered by capturing and sharing knowledge immediatelyafter it is generated, and the organisational benefit of reusingknowledge within a project based environment.
