The <em>JPMP </em>publishes peer reviewed scholarly articles, qualitative, quantitative or other methods research papers as well as theoretical and exploratory papers. In order to link theory with practice it also publishes original and innovative practice case studies which are reviewed for relevance to readers. By taking a broader organisational perspective and by covering a wider range of industries and professions, <em>JPMP </em>will appeal to a wider readership which includes not only those with an interest in mainstream project management topics but also those who engaged in an unlimited variety of projects in multidisciplinary approaches across all sectors such as building and construction, engineering, oil and gas, business and finance, information technology, healthcare, aviation, maritime and defence.</p> https://vmis.um.edu.my/index.php/JPMP/article/view/52589 Operational Regulatory to Minimise Risks in the Malaysian Oil and Gas Industry 2024-06-19T10:34:00+08:00 Zahidah Jahidi zahidahjahidi@yahoo.com Saipol Bari Abd Karim saipolbari@um.edu.my Mohd Suhaimi Mohd Danuri msuhaimi@um.edu.my <p>Unfortunate events persisted in oil and gas projects and operations despite extensive study and collective efforts, highlighting the complexity of the challenges faced by the industry. Moreover, previous studies revealed shortcomings in the regulatory framework, hindering appropriate risk management during operational activities, emphasising the crucial role of effective risk management for overall organisational performance. The persistence of disputes and unfortunate occurrences, despite existing regulations, indicated gaps in current operational processes, underscoring areas for improvement addressed by this study. Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with participants involved in project and operational roles across various oil and gas organisations, this research identified weaknesses in current systems and recommended enhancements. Recommendations included robust enforcement mechanisms, efficient resource management, enhanced awareness campaigns, streamlined procedures, and the incorporation of technology in operations. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the complexities of regulatory compliance and risk management in Malaysian O&amp;G operations, offering insights for enhancing operational efficiency and minimising risks associated with regulatory implementation.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal Of Project Management Practice (JPMP) https://vmis.um.edu.my/index.php/JPMP/article/view/48236 Contributing Factors on the Effectiveness of Green Building Using the GBI Tool: A Case Study of Putrajaya Energy Commission Building 2023-11-28T08:09:52+08:00 Faizul Azli azli@um.edu.my Noor Hidayati Ismail azli@um.edu.my Shazanur Qistina azli@um.edu.my Nurul Safwah Mohd Yusoff azli@um.edu.my Muhammad Hadi Mustafa azli@um.edu.my Mazura Mahdzir azli@um.edu.my <p>The concept of a green building refers to a planned, constructed, operated, maintained, or reused structure to protect occupant health, enhance occupant productivity, conserve natural resources, and minimise environmental impact. This study aims to investigate the contributing factors that contribute to the effectiveness of sustainable green buildings in Malaysia concerning the green building index (GBI) tool. This proposed model is based on the dependent variable, the effectiveness of green building and the independent variables namely, property management, government supervision, incremental costs, and environmental protection awareness. A quantitative survey was done on 320 staff of the Putrajaya Energy Commission Building. The results show that government supervision, incremental cost, and property management have a significant positive moderate relationship while environmental protection awareness has a very strong relationship with the effectiveness of green building. Therefore, these strategies can serve as a roadmap for construction industry stakeholders, enabling them to construct improved versions of green buildings that align with sustainable principles and practices.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal Of Project Management Practice (JPMP) https://vmis.um.edu.my/index.php/JPMP/article/view/52340 Critical Factors in Supply Management of Industrialised Building System Components for Island Construction Project: A Case Study of Perhentian Island 2024-05-24T10:17:37+08:00 abu hanifah yusof abuyusof@gmail.com MOHD HANIZUN HANAFI hanizun.h@umk.edu.my muhammad hadi mustafa hadimustafa@um.edu.my shardy abdullah shardy.a@umk.edu.my Anita Rauzana anrauzana@unsyiah.ac.id <p>The importance of construction based on the industrialised building system (IBS) approach in accelerating the achievement of development objectives cannot be denied, including in countries such as Malaysia. In fact, this system has been given a new lease of life in the construction industry development plan lately to strengthen its contribution to the country. The availability of building materials from the mainland of Peninsular Malaysia is a crucial factor for the successful installation of IBS components at construction sites. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the critical factors in the supply management of IBS components at the Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu’s construction site. In order to achieve the objective of this study, a qualitative study that is a structured interview with sixteen (16) construction contractors, three (3) each from supplier companies and transport ships/vessel or ‘barges’ that are directly involved in the supply of this IBS components have been carried out. Seven (7) critical factors have been identified which are: 1) compliance with government directives; 2) accuracy of work planning and scheduling; 3) the contractor’s current financial position is good; 4) good relationship (tolerance) between contractor and supplier; 5) availability of components; 6) availability of transport ship/vessel or ‘barge’ and machinery; and 7) able to predict weather conditions. These critical factors can be used as a useful basis in providing a more effective industrialised building system-based project implementation environment in the future on Perhentian Island in particular and other islands in general. The findings of this study have opened up a new research space towards providing a more perfect environment for the implementation of management activities for the supply of IBS components at the construction site.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal Of Project Management Practice (JPMP) https://vmis.um.edu.my/index.php/JPMP/article/view/52216 Regulatory Non-Compliance and Its Limitations Towards Risk Minimisation in the Oil and Gas Industry 2024-06-19T10:35:43+08:00 Zahidah Jahidi zahidahjahidi@yahoo.com Mohd Suhaimi Mohd Danuri msuhaimi@um.edu.my Saipol Bari Abd Karim saipolbari@um.edu.my <p>The Piper Alpha Case, the Deepwater Horizon Case, and the Petronas Pengerang Integrated Complex Fire and Explosion are examples of undesirable occurrences in the oil and gas industry. These incidents frequently underscored the potential for extensive damage and losses that could result in injuries. Given the oil and gas industry's vast and critical nature, operational disruptions and events that jeopardise production were expected to be minimised at all times. Hence, this study aimed to identify the limitations of regulatory implementation in minimising risk impact within the Malaysian oil and gas industry. Initially, the risks of non-compliance with regulations in Malaysia's oil and gas industry were highlighted, followed by a discussion on the limitations of current regulations affecting overall performance. The findings identified and examined barriers to efficient risk management, such as non-standard regulations, communication issues, and technological changes. Understanding the key factors influencing regulatory non-compliance was beneficial for further assessing preventive actions and strategies to bring improvements to the practice.</p> 2024-06-29T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Journal Of Project Management Practice (JPMP)
