    ADOPTION OF INDUSTRY 4.0 TOOLS IN ACHIEVING CONSTRUCTION 4.0 FOR SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
    (AECC Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials (BIAM), 2023) Amusan, Lekan; Aigbavboa, Clinton; Emetere, Moses; Oloke, Olayinka
    Construction 4.0 has been enabled through the introduction of Industry 4.0and its tools. The rate of adoption of the Construction 4.0, however, to create a good ecological landscape has been rapid which needs enhancement for achieving sustainable infrastructure. This study therefore aims at presenting an integral approach to creating a pathway-model for technological innovation, industrial and sustainable infrastructural development using Lean thinking, Industry 4.0 technologies and sustainability concepts. The main objective of the study is to study the issues around the adoption of industry 4.0 to achieve Construction 4.0 for achieving sustainable infrastructure. The study articulated the following objective parameters to carry out the survey, such as (i) Industry 4.0 application drivers in the construction industry in achieving sustainable infrastructural development, (ii) prospect of Construction 4.0 in achieving industrial development of Industry 4.0,(iii) factors influencing the adoption of Industry 4.0 for technological development, (iv) future of Construction 4.0 in construction industry in infrastructural development and (v) socioeconomic implications of Industry 4.0 tools adoption.A total of 150 samples was used for the study from a population frame of 250 construction. The sample frame of 250 construction companies that are medium and large scale in the category we used as the sample frame for the study. The following statistical tools of SPSS 25 were used to process the data: Mean index, Kruska-wallis,ANOVA, Pearson ranking, Cronbach Alpha and Chi square. The study recommends the following:However, adoption of the Construction 4.0, there are numerous parameters that influence the adoption of industry 4.0 for technological development,which need to be considered to achieve sustainable infrastructural development. For instance, there is a need for attitudinal change, cultural orientation,economic development, and technological innovation. There is a future for success in the application of Construction 4.0 in creating a robust infrastructural economy which is sustainable.

    Re-strengthening the Adoption of Outsourcing Concept in Construction Firms: Issues and Challenges
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022) Amusan, Lekan; Aigbavboa, Clinton; Obiakor, Chiwendu; Aigbe, Fortune; Adelakun, Adegbenjo
    Outsourcing is a concept that has gained ground instead of the dynamic nature of materials and construction resources over time, there is still yearning for resource augmentation, thus the need for this study. The course's primary aim is to study issues and challenges of outsourcing in construction firms with a view to enhancing materials and human resources usage. The survey research method was used in researching. In contrast, the random sampling method was used by the authors in the sample selection. The population sample for the study is infinite since while the Cohran formula was used to generate the sample size of 100. The authors used one hundred (100) samples for the study with questionnaire designed the Likert scale 1-5. The following parameters were censored and profiled. They include: understanding the current state of outsourcing in the construction sector, scope, and coverage of outsourcing, and the relationship between outsourcing strategy and performance helps examine the prospective areas that would warrant outsourcing and the possible outsourcing framework—the tools used in processing the data; relative mean, simple percentage, mean index. Some of the findings of the study include among other things: challenges that firms encounter in outsourcing their activities from the responses that the main challenges that the bank faced in outsourcing its included increase in cost and loss of managerial control over outsourced operations, the effect on the quality of operations of the firms, security and confidentially, and relocation of existing employees. The study recommends effective training of personnel, introduction of incentives and motivation factors in enhancing employees’ performance as a way out of challenges that confronts outsourcing. Also, casual labouring system should be abolished since it is counterproductive in conventional production environment.
