Abstract

By reason of technological advancements, many engineering projects are becoming larger and more complex. Numerous stakeholders collaborate with one another throughout the life cycle of a project from varying work cultures and different geographical locations. Improving alignment of stakeholders and minimizing project issues and conflicts can be realized with Interface Management Systems. The matter of identifying and monitoring interfaces are quite a significant challenge. Generally, the links between stakeholders, construction or manufacturing elements and project scopes are Interfaces. Deficiencies in project cost, quality and time in its execution lifecycle or failure after delivery of project could arise as a result of poor Interface Management. Thus, it is obvious that project performance during and after execution is dependent on the Interface management employed. This paper employs a process based approach in the Interface management of large scale projects in the following order: Identification, Documentation, Issuing, Communication and Closing.
