ABSTRACT

Effective risk management is a vital part of project management. The previous workshops in the construction industry have shown to suffer from the lack of a comprehensive risk management techniques. This paper aims to investigate the capacity of a workshop as a risk management approach through the analysis of risk management for Ahwaz Urban Railway project. The analysed workshop uses brainstorming, the combination of fuzzy and failure mode and effect analysis and multiple-choice questions to identify, evaluate and determine the best responses to risks, respectively. The workshop examination shows that a workshop gives the organization an opportunity to identify critical risks. Furthermore, it helps the organization staff to have a better understanding of the project’s environment and provides chances to improve teamwork. Despite the strengths of the workshop, it has several limitations of its own. The participants should be the project’s major stakeholders and the workshop requires time and money. Two of the major limitations of the analysed workshop are time limitation, and lack of risk monitoring and controlling experience. In addition, this study does not investigate the relationship between risks. However, more attempts are needed to address challenges and barriers of risk management implementation in construction industry.

Conclusions and future works

Having this experience and study in mind, all organizations are strongly recommended to apply the RM proactively and consistently throughout a project’s life cycle. An RM workshop provides an integrated approach which would prove to be apt to allow the project manager to use the maximum capacity of the RM for the project. The main purpose of this paper, however, was to investigate the application of an RM workshop as an RM approach. To do so, it has analysed an RM workshop for a large-scale construction project. It was shown and solidified that the previous workshops in the construction industry noticeably lacked the use of a comprehensive RM technique. This study has explained the need for the application of the RM workshop as a complex RM framework, which practically uses brainstorming, multiple-choice questions, risk register, fuzzy sets and FMEA. FMEA permitted the workshop participants to evaluate the likelihood (L), impact (I) and detection (D) of the risks by means of their judgments and experience put to a shared and practical dominion. The RM workshop outcome is also able to help the project managers to develop systematical RM approaches. In overall, project managers can put the processes taken up and the lessons learned from this workshop to use in order to facilitate the RM processes and increase the RM performance rate. Another constructive and generalizable result of this research is the experience of utilizing Fuzzy FMEA Risk Analyzer as the risk assessment tool. A sophisticated risk assessment tool requires pre-workshop sessions to facilitate the workshop tasks. Furthermore, by comparison, the results and project manager’s presentation in the workshop, combining the fuzzy sets with the traditional FMEA practically will improve the final output.
