Design Input Index as a Predictor of Project Change Behavior.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between Design Input Index and change behavior of military construction projects. Change behavior included investigation of total changes, the cost of changes, change categories which represent design errors and omissions, and unforeseen changes. The goal of this work was to develop a statistically-based mathematical model to predict change behavior on large Navy projects if the Design Input Index was known. Having a model would allow executives and managers within the Engineering Field Division and the Resident Officer in Charge of Construction to predict the number and category of changes which might occur on a given project. This tool would be very powerful in decisions regarding allocation of the limited resources within the organization.
