AHP-systems thinking analyses for kaizen costing implementation in the construction industry. (2020)
Journal Article
OMOTAYO, T., AWUZIE, B., EGBELAKIN, T., OBI, L. and OGUNNUSI, M. 2020. AHP-systems thinking analyses for kaizen costing implementation in the construction industry. Buildings [online], 10(12), article ID 230. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings10120230

The incessant reportage of cost overruns and abandoned projects in contemporary literature have accentuated the need for a re-examination of the nature of the cost management strategies deployed to these projects. This study explores the potential of... Read More about AHP-systems thinking analyses for kaizen costing implementation in the construction industry..

Investigating the challenges of refinery construction in Nigeria: a snapshot across two-timeframes over the past 55 years. (2020)
Journal Article
IHEUKWUMERE, O.E., MOORE, D. and OMOTAYO, T. 2020. Investigating the challenges of refinery construction in Nigeria: a snapshot across two-timeframes over the past 55 years. International journal of construction supply chain management [online], 10(1), pages 46-72. Available from: https://doi.org/10.14424/ijcscm100120-46-72

The sub-optimal performance of state-owned refineries in Nigeria has led to a significant gap in the supply of refined petroleum products (RPPs) in the country. More so, the growing demand for these products has further widened the gap to the range o...
