ImplementationPerformance MeasurementsWhen it comes to practice, for BAA it's a different story. To keep the project on track, BAA developed a measurement system consisting of “five key performance indicators (KPIs), ten key measures and 37 performance data”. (Basu et al., 2009). The purpose of these measurements was to ensure that the main objectives of the project were achieved, that key stakeholders were identified, that specifications were met, that benchmarks were agreed upon, etc. Additionally, to apply measurements to the project, measurement metrics guidance notes were created to communicate to all project members. project team. Furthermore, based on these key measures, reports have been created and published regularly (Basu et al., 2009).T5. Metrics Triangle (Basu et al., 2009). Integrated teams To encourage collaboration between the parties taking part in the T5 project, integrated teams have been created. The members of these teams were chosen based on their skills and expertise and regardless of the organization they came from. Furthermore, unlike normal other projects where team members came from different organizations and worked in virtual teams, members of the integrated teams came together. Furthermore, the integrated teams formed at the beginning of the project allowed them to identify potential issues and problems in the project at their convenience. nascent phase. As a result, the team was able to avoid problems in the later stages, thus allowing them to come up with a safe and sound design. For example, “the development of paving concrete has led to a 25% reduction in bulk materials needed for aircraft stands and paving areas.” (Potts and Ankrah, 2008). Procurement Strategies The procurement practices implemented by the BAA have been considered not only best practice in the construction industry... middle of paper... a best-in-class solution. As a result, architectural drawings conflict with technical drawings and shop drawings. Conflicts identified in the design process are usually not a problem; however, those identified at the sites caused significant costs and delays. For T5, BAA estimated that “the cost of wasted time and materials alone is at least 10% of the total project cost.” (Potts and Ankrah, 2008). The BAA used a “single model environment (PMI)”. “SME is a real-time computer-aided design system for digital prototyping and simulation to provide a photorealistic representation of the design and a “virtual walkthrough” of the final design.” The SME allowed all members of the design team to collaborate, which allowed them to reduce errors and conflicts in the design. The result would be “a more accurate estimate of costs in the design phase”. (Davies et al., 2009).
