Analysing project management practices in OFC laying

Technical Report from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, , language: English, abstract: In OFC laying, execution approaches for risk management using a set of practices are normally insufficient, which limits the success of on-time project delivery. This paper describes the approach for managing the execution and provides a set of practices for completing an OFC laying project on time within budget. In developing countries like India, project management for developing OFC infrastructure is still not mature and there is a lack of coordination between various OFC deployment agencies. This paper provides insight for proper planning of OFC deployment and analysing the case study of project delay in a critical OFC deployment project. The study concluded that there is a good opportunity for implementing best project management and improving execution practices, for deploying OFC in the toughest terrain of India, where all kind of challenges are encountered.
