Challenges and Barriers to Implementing AWP: An Assessment Through a Case Study
摘要
The construction industry undergoes many problems due to insufficient planning during the execution leading to problems like disputes among the stakeholders and the failure of the project. To streamline things in a more manageable way Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) was introduced. This study reviews the barriers and challenges towards the AWP by taking the help of case studies from 2022 to 2024 using Malaysia’s construction industry as a baseline. Technology, people, and process are the three main challenges that were the hurdles in the way of the implementation of AWP. Joint industry collaboration and alignment between business and operating units are the solutions to overcome the challenges and hurdles in the way of AWP implementation. In short, the analysis of the challenges towards AWP implementation, and the strategies to overcome the hurdles will result in the correct adoption of AWP in the construction industry.
