The theme of the seminar “Time to Change: Managing Assets and Projects Towards Sustainable Future” was

chosen with the hope that the seminar will be able to generate creative and innovative ideas in addressing the issues surmounting the project manager in delivering their projects and facilities managers in managing their assets and facilities with sustainability concept always being in the back of their minds. Sustainable is about ensuring our needs without compromising the resources for our next generation.

I am very grateful for the overwhelming response of the several invited speakers with their interesting papers. Since this is a one day seminar, we could only accommodate 11 selected papers addressing various issues related to project, asset and facilities management. We will begin with the keynote paper on; preliminary assessment of the strategic issues and key challenges in the sustainable management of asset in the water sector of Malaysia followed by; Impact of project management maturity on organizational performance; Sustainable neighborhood planning and design in Malaysian perspective; Relieving risks in local infrastructure design & build projects in Malaysia; The Sustainability of Bridges Using the Knowledge Concept of Bridge Design, Durability and Maintenance Strategy; Stakeholder Relationship Management in the Project Environment; The top flight professional facilities manager; Case study on mold growth at JPA complex in Cyberjaya; Sustainable Asset Management Improvement for Lifecycle-Cost Development 4 Steps Autotransformer and Optimal Capacitor Placement; Slopes Maintenance Management; and Management of Project via EPC and EPCM Contracting Methods: A Brief Literature Review.

I do really hope that all of you will take the opportunity to actively participate through lively discussion among all the participants and the speakers throughout every session of the seminar. Establishing networking between participants from various sectors and organisations is another objective of this seminar. Through the networking, the seminar participants will exchange and share ideas, knowledge and experiences related to the theme of this seminar.

Please do take away whatever innovative ideas and knowledge that you can grasp from this seminar and use

them to transform and change the way we manage our projects, assets and facilities using the best-practices and in accordance with the world standards, with sustainability concept in our mind.

Thank you.

BY CHAIRMAN

Promoting greater physical asset development is critical in accelerating our nations

economic growth. However in pursuit for progress towards becoming a developed nation, we

are also facing the challenge to achieve sustainability in our built environment. Planners, ar-

chitects, engineers, builders and facility managers are now required to embrace and practice

the principles of sustainable development and asset management during all phases of asset

life cycle starting from the design, construction, operation, maintenance and up to the decom-

missioning stage.

The theme of this seminar “Time to change: Managing Assets and Projects Toward

Sustainable Future” is appropriate food for thought as how we can take sustainability efforts

into the future.

Given the broad range of issues pertaining to sustainability, it is hoped that this semi-

nar will allow us to examine the various issues and options on how to build and manage our

built environment in a sustainable manner. The success of this seminar is owed to the speak-

ers and all participants whose views and ideas will enrich the outcomes of this seminar and

assist MAPMA in enhancing its strategy for advancement of project and asset management.

Let me also take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the committee

members for working tirelessly to organise this seminar and for the extraordinary leadership

to move forward this important initiative of MAPMA.

I wish the National Seminar on Asset and Project Management 2011 a great success.

Thank you.

KEYNOTE PAPER : PRELIMINARY ASSESSTMENT OF THE STRATEGIC ISSUES AND

KEY CHALLENGES IN THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF ASSETS IN THE

WATER SECTOR OF MALAYSIA

By

PROFESSOR DR. CHRISTOPHER NIGEL PREECE B.SC.(HONS.) (LEEDS), PH.D. (HERIOT-WATT), FCIOB, MCIM, FHEA

(Department of Civil Engineering, UTM RAZAK School, International Campus, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur)

This paper provides a preliminary assessment of some of the strategic issues and

challenges in the sustainable management of assets in the Malaysian water supply and

sewerage services sector. An overview is provided of general asset management and

specific water asset management. Whilst Malaysia can be regarded as leading the way in

terms of good practice in S.E. Asia in terms of its infrastructure, widespread accessibility

and affordability to its communities, there are emerging signs of serious problems in

maintenance and customer satisfaction. A contemporary review of Malaysian government

policy contextualises response and aspirations for the domestic water sector. Its describes

the concurrent nationalization and privatization of inter-dependent assets and functions of

the sector, including re-allocation of resources and responsibilities, and on-going efforts to

achieve economic sustainability with the ultimate aim of revenues bettering costs. A

comparison is made between Malaysia and two European nations, aiding the identification

of barriers and opportunities in Malaysia’s progress to a sustainable water sector, and the

paper concludes with a discussion of the tools and techniques of asset management that

may support the initiative.

PAPER 1 : IMPACT OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT MATURITY ON

ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE

By Mr. ROBERT GAN

President PMP®, CID-PM (Distinction), AICA

Project Management Institute, Malaysia Chapter

The last decade has seen several researches pointing out the positive impact of

project management maturity on organisational performance. It is unclear

however if there is a consensus as to what PM maturity means, what were the

components of PM maturity, how the PM maturity could be measured, in what way

and to what degree do these attributes of maturity directly or indirectly impact

organisational performance. For organisations that derive its’ main revenue from

projects, there is significant competitive advantage to be gained if the leaders of

organisations’ have a better understanding of the issues to capitalise on them. A

useful starting point would be to review literatures of current research work to

gain a better understanding of the context, issues involved and the various

viewpoints put forward by experts in the field. We will analyse and critique some

of the major project management maturity models in the market place. A

comparative analysis will likely yield insights into the rationale behind each model,

their merits and what we can learn to enhance our organisational performance and

at the same time avoid the pitfalls that waits the uninitiated.

PAPER 2 : SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING AND DESIGN

IN MALAYSIAN PERSPECTIVE

By M.VIKNESWARAN

MOHD ISMID MOHD SAID ROZANA ZAKARIA

Bahagian Perkhidmatan Kejuruteraan Pertahanan (BPKP), Ministry of Defence

Sustainable development becomes the one of the important tool of planning

and design of building structures and infrastructures in this decade. The land use

development for neighbourhood construction should be protected from being

overused and devastated. Malaysia should have sustainable neighbourhood

planning and design so that the future generation can be benefited from this type

of sustainable development. However less focus is being paid to this type of

development which needs attention to be given especially on small-scale green

areas. The main concern of this paper is to address the practice of sustainable

neighbourhood planning and design in Malaysia as it gives much impact to the

living environment of a group of community. The issues pertaining sustainable

neighbourhood design and Malaysian sustainable development planning were

discussed in this paper. Results from the Malaysian Local Council Structure Plan

review and sustainable neighbourhood elements analysis were discussed to

highlight the sustainable neighbourhood planning and design. The result indicates

that the sustainable neighbourhood planning and design in Malaysia needs to be

improved over the current practices to produce a more environmental-friendly

neighbourhood planning and design.

Keywords: Sustainable development; sustainable neighbourhood; sustainable

neighbourhood elements.

2007.


PAPER 3 : RELIEVING RISK IN LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE—DESIGN &

BUILD PROJECTS IN MALAYSIA

By Sr. NURULHUDA BTE HASHIM

Senior General Manager, Projects Gerbang Perdana Sdn Bhd

The nature and evolution of construction industry based on current and future trends requires

development of Risk Management techniques that must incorporate and integrate analytical elements

that are not based solely on mathematical analysis. In fact major decisions require methodologies

that impute the less tangible aspects of risks but none the less have significant consequences to the

risk outcome of a project. Co-operation has been stated as a key to construction success, but

detailed ways of performing it are missing. Construction projects are joint efforts of number of

participants who need to work closely together. Changes in schedules, incomplete plans and other

unexpected events lead to the need to coordinate daily work and efficient practical problem solving

and on site management to ensure efficient performance. Contracts have been traditionally been the

main instrument used to share risks, though in the construction industry, exhaustive risk allocation

cannot be achieved solely through contractual conditions. In construction projects, project schedules

can be very rigid and a single coordination mistake can affect everybody’s work. Added to this is the

fact that present day construction project schedules are as tight as possible, so that activities

normally performed in sequence are now done in parallel increasing vulnerability to mistakes by

others in the network. This adds requirements for different kinds of coordination methods. All risk

items cannot be foreseen at the planning stage and effective management of unforeseen risks in the

post-contract stage is very crucial and needs the collective efforts of all major contracting parties.

Risk management is more flexible and successful when ownership coalitions are used to bring

innovative ways to deal with surprises. We would all agree that litigation never gives adequate

compensation for a project that has been unsuccessful. It is always best to examine carefully the

options for reducing the risk rather than rely on the doubtful compensation of litigation if the

assessment proves inaccurate. Despite the appreciation of the major negative or even positive

impacts that risks have on project success, there still exist a gap between risk management

techniques and the practical application in construction industry. Design-build projects actually offer

cooperative work by the Client, Consultants and Contractors in early phases and, therefore, more

thorough risk management. However, in practice, this has not been the case and the problems

encountered in D&B Projects are as bad if not worse than the build only projects. Business

environment is a kind where price and authority are the main governance forms. Risk management

at the company level has aspects that are not found at project level risk management. Any

construction company has to have some kind of risk strategy to determine a common behavior

towards risks. Thus projects undertaken by the company should be seen as a part of a bigger entity

of the Company’s risks. One crucial element that must be given its due importance and significance

is the teamwork and the “human factor”.

PAPER 4 : THE SUSTAINABILITY OF BRIDGES USING THE KNOWLEDGE CONCEPT

OF BRIDGE DESIGN, DURABILITY AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGY

By Ir. Dr. ZUHAIRI BIN ABD HAMID

Construction Research Institute of Malaysia (CREAM) CHANAKYA ARYA

University College London

Road traffic is another major source of carbon dioxide emissions in many

countries. It reduces air quality and also adds significantly to noise and dust

pollution. The emissions/pollution from road traffic will no doubt increase still

further in future years as population levels rise and the world becomes more

affluent. A number of initiatives have been tried to curb fuel usage and carbon

dioxide emissions which are largely aimed at Automotive Engineers and vehicle

owners. But recent work suggests that Civil and Structural Engineers also have an

important role to play which has so far been overlooked. This shows that carbon

dioxide emissions and fuel usage significantly increases during repair and

maintenance operations on bridges. Lane closures or some other forms of traffic

management during maintenance operations e.g. concrete repairs, joint

replacement, drainage clearance, inspection work, etc., invariably leads to a

reduction in traffic speeds and increases stop-go driving, which significantly

increases fuel usage and carbon dioxide emissions. This paper further suggests

that increasing the durability of bridge structures will reduce the need for repair

work. This will also reduce social impacts but may increase the initial cost of

construction. This paper also discusses two case studies to compare the whole life

cost of two design options for improving the durability of bridge structures and de-

vising strategies for improving the sustainability of bridges.

PAPER 5 : STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT IN PROJECT

ENVIRONMENT

By Mr. CHIA FAH CHOY

Assistant Professor Department of Built Environment of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman

(UTAR), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

In many organizations, the training for project managers focuses more often on

the tactical process aspects of a project, namely, planning, execution, monitoring

and controlling. Many project managers believe that adhering to the well-known

triple constraints of time, cost, and performance is the basic criteria for a project

to be considered successful, but that’s not always the case. A project must provide

some appreciable degree of value when completed in addition to meeting the

objectives associated with the triple constraints. Multiple perceptions of value may

not satisfy all stakeholders and the success criteria should be broader than just the

bottom-line considerations. Creating a stakeholder-aware culture, gaining and

maintaining the support and commitment of stakeholders require a consistent and

structured approach to stakeholder management. Effective stakeholder

relationship management will significantly increase the success rate of projects by

reducing and eliminating possible non-technical barriers. In this talk, a framework

to understand the nature of stakeholder community, its membership, relationships

between the activity and the stakeholder community and the implementation of

stakeholder relationship management will be presented.

PAPER 6 : THE TOP FLIGHT PROFESSIONAL FACILITIES MANAGER

By Sr. SHAFIE BIN ENDUT

Consultant & Manager B&H Facilities Management Sdn Bhd

The term Facilities Management (FM) enabler’s ably describes the opportunity for

FM to deliver a significant role on all FM related activities. The enabling roles of

Facilities Management to organisation are yet to be fully understood by most

traditional Facilities Managers to conclusively demonstrate clear linkages between

facilities and productivity or core business goals and search of value. The concept

of modern FM is still in its infancy stage in Malaysia. It is most often only

understood by those who have influence on it and the way it is applied within an

organization.

In a non-FM organisation, Facilities Management seems to be more regarded as

maintenance and custodial role rather than a role that support and align with core

business vision. In FM organization environment, the Facilities Management

function has begun its strategic rise to top of the operational hierarchy.

Organizations are beginning to shift away from the notion of facilities as back-of-

house image to in favour of a front-of-house role, closer to business goals.

Further, the level of understanding and awareness of FMer capabilities by the

public and building owners have not help the industry to have clear perception and

recognition in a similar manner enjoyed by other professionals like, project

managers, architects and engineers. Given this scenario, where and how should

our local facilities managers strategically reposition in the organisation and

become an important and thriving profession in Malaysia. This short paper would

like to stimulate the enabling opportunities that Professional FMers and FM

Practitioner can offer in providing expertise and competency at the next level.

Some professional practice problems including case studies will be discussed with

the objective of easier understanding of the FM business.

PAPER 7 : STUDY CASE: MOLD GROWTH AT JPA (PUBLIC SERVICES

DEPARTMENT), CYBERJAYA

By Ir. AHMAD AZLAN BIN AHMAD

(Public Works Department (JKR) Malaysia)

The serious increase in the incidences of mold infestation in new and existing buildings must be address urgently before it affects the overall building operation and functionality especially the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) which can be hazardous to human and disastrous to all furniture & finishes.

Mold requires a nutrient source, suitable temperature in the same range as indoor building

environment & moisture to grow; it absorbs nutrients by breaking down hydrocarbons. ln general, we can say that there are a few factors that contribute to mold growth in built environment such as mold spores which is already available in air, nutrient such as cellulose, dust, dirt & starch, temperature ranging between 5˚C to 50˚C, relative humidity consistently above 70% and consistent oxygen supply. This Case Study is specially assign to JKR Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya (Public Works Department) as the Government Technical Expertise due to the persistent of the mold growth, insisted by the end user that is JPA, the body leasing of the building built, own & maintained by

others. The building is fully occupied in April 2009 implementing the Concept of Open Building. The case study proved that the mold infestation is mainly due to air conditioning system which has a lot to do with the relative humidity, insufficient chilled water supply temperature, and inefficient air change & space confinement caused by lack of good engineering practice and incorrect choice of finishes during renovation work. The findings will be discussed in detail in the paper. The integration approaches by multidisciplinary parties involved in this development are also important, they need to understand their roles and carry them out clearly to lessen up this issue. Measures should be taken

at various stages of building process to prevent formation of the mold growth in a building, prior to the building construction; the components of the material requisition should be analyzed in terms of its probable stimulant for spores' habitation to further develop into mold. This analysis must be made mandatory as a pre-requisite conformant during the tender qualifying. As thus, by understanding its habitation nature, the following necessary solution shall be applied onto. One of the solutions is by having good ACMV system design as well as the ability to provide environmental control over entire

building areas and consistently monitors the building's atmosphere i.e. Temperature, Relative Humidity and Air Circulation. Good air ventilation removes existing mold spores from the air and keeps the atmosphere relatively dry and cool. Proper use and monitoring of ACMV systems can help to prevent mold problems before they occur. Manual methods such as HEPA filtered vacuuming which has been done to the JPA building recently only series as short term solution to eliminate mold via environmental control. Managing asset is also defined as how long we can maintain the usage of the procured asset by minimizing any possible means of threats in order to optimize its life span within

the normal cycle it should be. Prevention measures are recommended and contribution from all parties involves in assets management should integrate to enhance the lifespan of building assets. JKR as a leading agency in managing government assets will endeavor to heighten the level of asset

management system where we play our part in revamping the business process on how to manage assets and project towards sustainable future.

The electricity consumption has been continuously increasing due to rapid usage. In

Malaysia, electric motors typically account to 70 % of the electricity usage among

industries. By most estimates, Malaysia is growing 8.1 % anually and will continue at this

rate for many years. Urbanisation rates are also rising; therefore total primary energy

demand is set to increase by nearly 7 % anually. Nearly 60 percent of all electricity used

by industry is consumed by these motor system. Increasing the energy efficiency of these

existing motor systems can lead to dramatic lifecyle cost. Identifying a need is the most

important stage of the asset life cycle. Application of 4 Steps Autotransformer and Optimal

Capacitor Placement towards improvement for life cycle cost of motor operation. For

innovation of this methodology can mitigate maximum demand by reducing losses, impove

voltage profile and improve power factor. It can lead to potential energy saving. By

experimental in Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (SSAAS) Shah Alam for 180

hp motor. It is shows that it may seem more economical to install the equipment of this

innovation to the existing motor. The outcome of this experiment shows that the efficiency

of this motor can be affect to the life cycle cost for the motor in high-use application.The

optimizationof pump system operation is one of the most significant ways to life cycle cost.

Development of succesful system optimization LCC (life cycle cost) program with a

focus on the bottom line can determine the viability of a project. Pumping systems are

essential for the production process in many industrial plants and often are operated for

more hours than any other equipment in the facility. Energy consumption by high-use

pumping systems can represent a substantial portion of the plant`s operating cost. The

goal of the development successful sustainable asset management improving life cycle

cost begins with implementation of the system by application of 4 Steps Autotrasformer

and Optimal Capacitor Placement. Ideally, it starts with a facility reward program for

cost-saving capital equipment projects and appropriately recognizes employees for their

effort.

PAPER 9 : SLOPES MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT

By Mr. MOHD ISA BIN SULAIMAN

(CIQ-PWD, Facilities Management Team) Malaysia Public Works Depatment

Residual soils form most part of Malaysia’s geomorphology features. These highly

erodible soils can be seen lining our road and highway slopes in many locations.

Under the torrential tropical rains, the residual soils easily give way leaving behind

deep gullies. Where these materials occur in abundance and extend even beyond

highway boundaries, the resulting slurries gush down towards the highway

pavement with devastating effects. Although Malaysia were quite lucky in the last

few years during which very few major landslides or slope failures occurred, a

number of catastrophic slope failures took place in 1995 and 1996. In the middle

of 1995, 20 people died while another 22 people were injured when the by-pass to

Genting Highland at Genting Sempah was washed out after heavy rain. Later in

January 1996, a lorry driver died while his assistant escaped unhurt when their

lorry was involved in the slope failure mishap at Gua Tempurung, North-South

Highway. In February 1996, landslide during heavy rains resulted in the closure of

the Tun Razak Highway in the State of Pahang, causing inconvenience to the road

users.

PAPER 10 : MANAGEMENT OF PROJECT VIA EPC AND EPCM CONTRACTING

METHODS: A BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW

By WAI SOON HAN

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Technology Malaysia

International Campus, Malaysia.

It is generally accepted that the success of a construction project is correlated with

the procurement methods. As the construction industry expand rapidly, the need

for a variety of procurement methods increases simultaneously. Taking into

account the dynamic nature of large industrial projects, a more flexible and

effective procurement method is needed. To address the problem, Engineering,

Procurement and Construction (EPC) as well as Engineering, Procurement,

Construction and Management (EPCM) are perceived as an alternative solution,

though minimal works on the EPCM contract have been undertaken. In fact, EPCM

is emerged as an improvised version of EPC. In this sense, this paper performs a

brief literature review on the EPC and EPCM contracting methods, respectively.

The outcome of this paper recommends the EPCM method is a more flexible

compared to EPC method because the client could be involved in the construction

processes to a greater extent. The limitation and future research directions related

to the contracting methods are also discussed in this paper.

Key words: construction management, procurement, EPC, EPCM
