IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS AND FAILURE FACTORS ASSESSMENT IN METEC’s MEDIUM SCALE TURN-KEY MANUFACTURING PROJECTS:IN THE CASE OF HIBRET MANUFACTURING AND MACHINE BUILDING INDUSTRY PROJECT

Abstract

This thesis addresses the project implementation and assessment of failure factors of the regional flexible manufacturing workshop establishment projects. The goal of this research is to show the project implementation process along with stakeholder‘s roles and contribution, to identify the problems for completion on planned time, to assess the factors that potentially contribute for the failure of the project, suggest a method to safely hand over of the projects, to take lessons learnt. In this work the researcher had identified and analyzed the factors for the failure of the implementation of turnkey projects. To identify these factors brainstorming was utilized. To analyze and prioritize the problems result of questionnaire, interview, observation, and Pareto diagrams were used. From the responses of the questionnaire researcher had concluded that, a remedy solution should be made by the stakeholders based on the intensity of the problem. The lesson learned from these questionnaire, brain storming, critical observation and structured interviews were used intensively. The development project consists of four stages conception, planning, implementation and closeout life cycles and it can assist in evaluating the strength and weakness of their whole system through SWOT analysis, targeting their improvement areas, setting up an action plan for improvements and tailoring a special part to the needs of their attention.
