Abstract
The main purpose of the research work is to solve the persistent infrastructure project issue such as variation order (VO) issue, and project delay issue. It has been occurring in the project for over quite a long period of time. In infrastructure project, failed to make a reliable project report will lead to an issue on VO and project delay happen. It has become a normal phenomenon in which issue has led to many negative effects such as cases of lawsuits, poor productivity, revenue loss, and contract termination among all parties involved. Therefore, to overcome this problem, the latest solution system known as Datalink Technique System (DTS) has been developed. It has been tested and applied in one of the government projects in Malaysia. It has turned out with positive results as compared to the existing one. It has been able to deliver reliable information, and yet it is still consistent with the current approach to manage the project. There are two main objectives have been achieved in this thesis. The first is to eliminate the loss and save the project cost by reducing the VO issue and project delay issue in the Information Communication Technology (ICT) work and Extra Low Voltage (ELV) work, but it is not limited to that, in future it can be applied to other infrastructure works like mechanical and electrical (M&E), civil works, and etc.. The second objective is to make the project report more transparent in the monthly project reporting that presented to project management. This to prevent the report from being manipulated by contractors as happened to other projects before. A methodology for system approach is proposed and demonstrated for solution purposes. The process began with a comprehensive issue on VO and followed by project delay factor phenomena. The problem and the main factors that caused the issue is identified and data acquisition based on actual problems that happened in the project. The performance and limitations of conventional methods are studied thoroughly to discover solutions with new more effective methods. The system approach is served by implementing the DTS system in one of the selected infrastructure projects. A pilot project has been implemented at Kota Kinabalu Sabah new court complex project is to evaluate the credibility and actual capabilities of the DTS system. It has contributed a good result for the project, and many benefits have been derived from the implementation. From the result, the bad performance that the team can tolerate could be derived from the equation of the percentage of completion versus the duration of working days, Y = a1x-b1, where b1 is the value of the bad performance of the system which is measured as below 34%. To support the validation of the result, the actual copy of the report is attached together. The new system has several advantages compared to the existing conventional process method. It helps in reducing the loss in project costing, provide a reliable progress report to the client while able to convey information of project tasks instantly and accurately.
