Web-Based Project Management Information System in Construction Projects

The current problem is that the process of managing data about the progress of project work and managing project financial data cannot be done properly because the data recording is done on paper media and is not well coordinated. This has an impact on the difficulty of project owners and project consultants in controlling project work. The purpose of this research is to analyse how the current project work control process is and to design an information system to optimize project work control. In developing this system, researchers used the prototype method, starting with gathering system requirements, building mock-up, and testing by users. The results of this research are web-based project management information system design that can manage and control project work and project financial data. All documents can be directly uploaded to the information system thereby minimizing document loss. The process of financial control both project expenses and revenue is much better because it can be monitored more closely and thoroughly so as to reduce fraud. Project activities can work better because of computerized working time monitoring and better control if there are delays in work. This research provides an overview of project management information systems that can be used to manage construction projects.

Integrated Safety Management: Creating an All-Inclusive Electrical Safety Program

Electrical safety is imperative for kee ping workers safe, and a safety management system is a means to implement it. The safety management system known as Integrated Safety Management (ISM) is a formal and proven system for the safe execution of work activities. The ISM system can be incorporated into a work-control process and structure an electrical safety program through its guiding principles and core functions. An electrical safety work-control process has two components that need to be implemented for success: a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E-based electrical safety program and an ISM-based work-control process. An electrical safety program that implements the seven guiding principles and five core functions listed in Table 1 gives a well-defined and document-supported process to keep workers safe.

SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

Changes in social relations and social turmoil are painful for vulnerable populations, which include, in particular, the children with disabilities The growth of number of children with disabilities in Russia is accompanied by the search for solutions to the problems this group of people, providing them with accessible environment. The principle of inclusive education in accordance with article 79 of the Federal Law On education in Russian Federation №273-FZ lies in the adoption by the administration and teachers of children with disabilities regardless of their social status, physical, emotional and intellectual development and create conditions based on psychological and pedagogical methods targeted at needs of these children [1]. Health limitation of children is directly linked to disturbances in their physical and mental development, difficulties in self-care, communication, learning, acquiring professional skills. The problem of development of the children with disabilities social experience, their integration into the existing system of social relations, which demands that professionals dealing with this category of children, competent decisions and actions is discussed in this article. These include the development of special programs, creation of centers of social adaptation, specialized schools, etc. In this regard, this article presents the materials of experimental work control process, diagnostics of the real state of social adaptation of children, development of the optimization criteria, the definition and use of effective social technologies.

Optimized work control process to improve safety and reliability in a risk-based and deregulated environment

Abstract This paper provides an overview of strategic models to assist power generating plants to improve their work control processes. These models include mechanisms to continually keep the process up to date. Included in the work control process are elements for system cost/performance analysis, life-cycle maintenance planning, on-line scheduling and look-ahead techniques, and schedule implementation to conduct work on the asset. The paper also discusses how risk management associated with work control issues that effect the safety and reliability, as well as O and M costs, is integrated into this strategy. The work control process is a pervasive and critical element in the successful implementation of operations and work management programs. While providing a method to implement maintenance activities in a cost-effective manner, the work control process improves plant safety and system reliability.
