Abstract
Due to the competitive market and the characteristic of short life-cycles in high-tech semiconductor products, companies nowadays are prompted to construct manufacturing facilities in a fast manner for securing a place in the market share. As a result, the time period invested in planning and construction is much shorter than that in public constructions, and many problems can occur in interface integration, communication, construction, and etc. Therefore, complete and suitable management tools become essential in solving these problems.
In a high-tech facility construction project, “schedule management” is the primary issue. There are many schedule management tools and methods demonstrated in PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge, a guide published by Project Management Institute), such as critical path method, arrow diagram method, earn value management, and etc. In real case scenarios, however, a schedule engineer must have the flexibility to adjust the principles when these methods are integrated to specific high-tech facility projects.
Adopting the viewpoint of PCM (Professional Construction Management), this research first clarified the definitions and the characteristics of high-tech facility construction projects. Then, major problems and possible solutions of the schedule management in a construction process were discussed. Through a combination of in-depth literature review, expert interview and case study, problems were investigated and solutions were proposed. The key factors in schedule management can be summarized as the following four issues in high-tech facility construction project: fast track construction and tight working hours, interface integration, resource dispatch and schedule planning and control.
With detailed data collection and analysis, the study demonstrates the logic and targets in schedule management corresponding to specific high-tech facility projects. The results found in this research hopefully provide useful, and could serve as a useful reference for future high-tech facility construction projects.
