Demand is increasing for large, high-rise, and complex buildings, which is leading to advances in the development of high-performance structural systems. In this context, precast concrete (PC) technology has received a large amount of attention owing to its benefits in terms of schedule reduction, high quality, and easy installation. In addition, advanced methodologies that improve the PC performance by the addition of various materials have recently been reported. Research on analyzing the effects of such high-performance PC on the construction process and productivity is very limited. This makes it difficult for decision-makers to apply PC to particular projects. Thus, the aim of this research was to analyze the work productivity of the high-performance PC slab installation process by using a construction simulation tool to resolve critical issues. In this study, a real construction project that adopted PC slab installation work was analyzed, and a sensitivity analysis was performed to confirm the reliability of the analysis results.

Today, IT organizations perform projects with vision related to marketing and financial profit. The objective of realizing the vision is to improve the project performing ability in terms of QCD. Organizations have made a lot of efforts to achieve this objective through process improvement. Large companies such as IBM, Ford, and GE have made over $80\%$ of success through business process re-engineering using information technology instead of business improvement effect by computers. It is important to collect, analyze and manage the data on performed projects to achieve the objective, but quantitative measurement is difficult as software is invisible and the effect and efficiency caused by process change are not visibly identified. Therefore, it is not easy to extract the strategy of improvement. This paper measures and analyzes the project performance, focusing on organizations' external effectiveness and internal efficiency (Qualify, Delivery, Cycle time, and Waste). Based on the measured project performance scores, an OT (Opportunity Tree) model was designed for optimizing the project performance. The process of design is as follows. First, meta data are derived from projects and analyzed by quantitative GQM(Goal-Question-Metric) questionnaire. Then, the project performance model is designed with the data obtained from the quantitative GQM questionnaire and organization's performance score for each area is calculated. The value is revised by integrating the measured scores by area vision weights from all stakeholders (CEO, middle-class managers, developer, investor, and custom). Through this, routes for improvement are presented and an optimized improvement method is suggested. Existing methods to improve software process have been highly effective in division of processes' but somewhat unsatisfactory in structural function to develop and systemically manage strategies by applying the processes to Projects. The proposed OT model provides a solution to this problem. The OT model is useful to provide an optimal improvement method in line with organization's goals and can reduce risks which may occur in the course of improving process if it is applied with proposed methods. In addition, satisfaction about the improvement strategy can be improved by obtaining input about vision weight from all stakeholders through the qualitative questionnaire and by reflecting it to the calculation. The OT is also useful to optimize the expansion of market and financial performance by controlling the ability of Quality, Delivery, Cycle time, and Waste.

Recently, the construction industry is increasingly in need of securing safety rights due to repeated serious accident. Accordingly, the government enacted the "Serious accident Punishment Act" to strengthen punishment for serious accident and expand the scope of punishment. However, safety managers in the construction industry are still vulnerable to safety accidents due to the heavy workload. The purpose of this study is to increase the efficiency of performance tasks and reduce serious accidents in the construction industry through analysis of performance tasks by stages of construction projects. The tasks derived through domestic research and domestic and foreign system analysis were classified step by step to analyze the correlation between difficulty and preventive effect, and inefficient tasks were discovered and improved. This can be used as basic data for identifying safety management tasks and preparing effective safety prevention measures, and it is expected to be a preventive measure against industrial accidents in the construction industry by using it for efficient work reorganization by safety managers.

As a construction project is recently becoming large-scaled and complex, construction process plan and management for successful performance of a construction project has become more important. Especially a reasonable estimation plan of activity duration is required because the activity duration is directly related to the determination of the entire project duration and budget. However, the activity duration is used to estimate by the experience of a construction manager and past construction records. Furthermore, the prediction of activity duration is more difficult because there is some uncertainty caused by various influencing factors in a construction project. This study suggests an estimation model of construction activity duration using neural network theory for a more systematic and objective estimation of each activity duration. Because suggested model estimates the activity duration by a reasonable schedule plan, it is expected to reduce the error between planning duration and actual duration in a construction project. And it can be a more systematic estimation method of activity duration comparing to the estimation method by experience of project manager.

Recently, project performance and management of government R&D program investing huge amount of budget is being focused. In this study, I built a model for estimating the performance creating paths of the government R&D program, then I analyzed the attributes of performances created by industries. I used simultaneous equations with FIML and examined the IT industry and CT industry of industrial technology innovation program using survey on R&D performance conducted by KEIT. On the analysis result, all the companies create the innovation performance through the government grants. However, the one who commercialize patents is SMEs in IT industry, and conglomerates in CT industry. SMEs in IT industry, which has characteristic of complex product, need extra self innovation activities even the government supports them. For improving the commercialization performance and technology development of SMEs in CT industry, it is effective when conducting cooperative research. These findings give us the implication that it is needed to consider different factors by industrial and enterprise characteristic when planning the public policy and government tasks.

IT outsourcing providers has been expanded from a single functional system to the entire IT service to gain sustainable competitiveness. This new trend of IT outsourcing need outsourcing management capability based on a firm's core capacity. Hiring external IT service providers to manage part or all of its information-related services helps a firm focus on its core business and provides better services to its clients, thus obtaining sustainable competitive advantage. This research investigates the major factors that determine the level of a particular firm's success at IT outsourcing. Based on process innovation and core-competency theories, we identify three significant components of a firm's IT outsourcing management method (ITOMM): level of core-competency-based management, maturity of outsourced tasks, and maturity of outsourcing management. Comprehensive data collection was conducted through an outsourcing association. The survey data were analyzed using a structural analysis method. Maturity of outsourced tasks and maturity of outsourcing management were found to affect project performance directly, while level of core-competency-based management only indirectly impacted project performance through its positive impact on the other two ITOMM components.

Road construction projects have a long duration so cost overruns and schedule delays are occurred. However, performance assessment system that can manage and prepare for this in advance is insufficient. In addition, road construction are affected by many factors during under construction. Therefore it is necessary to conduct performance assessment considering the characteristics of roads and prepare for similar projects in the future. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework to evaluate construction phase performance and present a performance management plan using road construction information. Also, This study conducted time adjustment between the start and the finish of the project and developed performance metrics based on absolute and relative indicator. This study analyzed the cost, schedule, and changes of the road project construction process, showing the possibility of advancement of performance assessment and how to use it when planning new road construction projects.

This study studied on innovation and R&D performance measurement, and especially the dimensions of measuring performance. The Empirical study is based on the opinions of 169 experts from a R&D group with a career for SMBA's support. The results reveal that what the most optimal and appropriate measures of project-level success are will depend on the type of innovation involved and the development project type and the relatively low significance of financial measures for innovation projects in general. Additionally, measurability is not major significance factor for selecting measures, whereas the level of innovativeness were to be selected as important factor. The roles of the evaluators are affected. It is expected to help make government policy for R8D performance evaluation.
