Approaches to the risk of riding motorcycles: reflections on the problem of reconciling statistical risk assessment and motorcyclists' own reasons for riding (2001)
Journal Article
Lawrenson, D., & Bellaby, P. (2001). Approaches to the risk of riding motorcycles: reflections on the problem of reconciling statistical risk assessment and motorcyclists' own reasons for riding. Sociological Review, 49(3), 368-388. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-954X.00337

The manners in which motorcyclists and road safety experts assess motorcycling diverge widely. Experts view it as an extremely risky venture and imply that only the foolhardy would engage in it. Our own survey research appears to support this view. A...

Reforming project management: The role of planning, execution and controlling (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2001, August). Reforming project management: The role of planning, execution and controlling. Presented at 9th International Group for Lean Construction Conference., National University of Singapore

In this paper, we focus on the need for reforming the role of plans, execution (or action) and control in project management. We argue that the present style of project management, as described in the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge...

Understanding construction supply chains: an alternative interpretation (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Vrijhoef, R., Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2001, August). Understanding construction supply chains: an alternative interpretation. Presented at 9th International Group for Lean Construction Conference., National University of Singapore

Much research work has assessed that construction is ineffective and many problems can be observed. Analysis of these problems has shown that a major part of them are supply chain problems, originating at the interfaces of different parties or functi...

On new footnotes to Shingo (2001)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2001, August). On new footnotes to Shingo. Presented at 9th International Group for Lean Construction Conference., National University of Singapore

The Toyota Production System (TPS) has continually inspired scholars of production management to a search for its essence. Two new interpretations have recently been advanced. Firstly, Johnston has argued that conventional production management is b... Read More about On new footnotes to Shingo.
