Kb7039 Construction Project Planning Assessment Answer

What will I be expected to achieve?

MLO1 – Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the work-based practice through the analysis and evaluation of research-based theory and relevant case studies, by formulating solutions to the effective and efficient delivery of construction engineering projects.

Intellectual / Professional skills & abilities:

MLO2 – Critically evaluate innovative approaches to product, process and services delivery in construction engineering through consideration of theory and practice.

Personal Values Attributes:

MLO3 – Formulate strategies for improvement within the global construction engineering industry to demonstrate cultural, ethical and sustainable awareness.

Coursework Overview

The assessment requires you to consider a single existing problem related to poor productivity in the construction industry, relating to one of the of lean waste. Once you have selected a single problem and can define the problem in relation to lean waste, you need to critically analyse the potential solutions formulated from the module and provide considered solutions to the problem, with clear links between the problem and the potential solutions.

Coursework Tasks to be Completed by Students

1. Select a single construction industry problem related to poor productivity and one of the 8 forms of lean waste discussed during the module, include a short description and a statement that clearly and concisely defines the scope of the problem in the boundaries of this module.
2. Justify (through good quality industry and academic literature) why this is a problem, who the problem affects, and the impact of the problem on a project/industry.
3. Critically analyse possible solutions to the problem from learning during this module AND independent research.
4. Create a visual illustration that links the problem to the solutions, i.e. fishbone diagram, mind map oranother suitable visual tool.
5. Create a visual improvement model which summarises HOW the problem can be solved.
6. The illustrated journal should use an effective combination of text AND images to provide an interesting and visually engaging document. All images should be relevant and of an appropriate size and quality.
