The aim of this paper is to propose a safety management framework for construction companies. A literature review was carried out to identify significant factors that would improve safety performance. Two management tools-namely, the balanced scorecard and quality function deployment (QFD)-were used to construct the framework. Strategic goals were established for each of the following perspectives of the balanced scorecard: financial and cultural, employee, process, and learning. Afterwards, a questionnaire was prepared using the QFD approach. The goals in the financial and cultural perspective were defined as the safety-related needs of the organization ("customer requirements" in the original QFD approach); and the goals in the remaining perspectives included the actions that the organization could take to meet its needs. Results of the questionnaire were used to set the final strategic goals in the balanced scorecard. Safety performance measures and initiatives were used to accomplish the goals in the balanced scorecard.

An analytic hierarchy process based model for risk and opportunity assessment of international construction projects
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2006-01-01)
Risk assessment of international projects is a complicated task because of the sensitivity of project success related to country specific risks as well as project risks. Decision makers face the difficulty of weighing project opportunities against risks and determining attractiveness of projects while giving bidding decisions. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for risk and opportunity assessment of international projects. The proposed model uses an analytic hierarchy process for calculation ...
Project appraisal and selection using the analytic network process
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2007-07-01)
Where prioritization and selection process of large-scale construction projects is concerned, governments should consider various quantitative and qualitative criteria when choosing the best project alternative. The traditional benefit-cost (B/C) analysis has some drawbacks in terms of analyzing qualitative attributes that cannot be easily expressed in monetary terms. To eliminate this limitation, multicriteria decision-making techniques are proposed for the solution of project prioritization problems. In t...
A probabilistic schedule delay analysis in construction projects by using fuzzy logic incorporated with relative importance index (RII) method
Özdemir, Mustafa; Gündüz, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
The aim of this thesis is to propose a decision support tool for contractors before the bidding stage to quantify the probability of schedule delay in construction projects by using fuzzy logic incorporated with relative importance index (RII) method. Eighty three (83) different schedule delay factors were identified through detailed literature review and interview with experts from a leading Turkish construction company, then categorized into nine (9) groups and visualized by utilizing Ishikawa (Fish Bone)...
Assessment of overtopping reliability and benefits of a flood detention dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2008-10-01)
There is a growing tendency to assess safety levels of existing dams and to design new dams using probabilistic approaches according to project characteristics and site-specific conditions. This study is a probabilistic assessment of the overtopping reliability of a dam, which will be designed for flood detention purpose, and will compute the benefits that can be gained as a result of the implementation of this dam. In a case study, a bivariate flood frequency analysis was carried out using a five-parameter...
A generic risk and vulnerability assessment framework for international construction projects
Özcan, Gülbin; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
Project Risk Management (PRM) comprises of identification and assessment, analysis and mitigation of risk factors in order to meet the project objectives. Risk identification and assessment process has the greatest importance as the risk models are constructed based on previously defined risk sources and their interrelations. Although previous studies have concentrated on the relation between risk events and their consequences, the link between them must be modeled by considering the various chains of risk ...
