Title: Identifying Operational Challenges Faced by Local Government Sewerage Personnel Aimed at Improving Productivity
Presenter: Ryosuke Maruyama, Advanced Technology Center, Technical Research Institute
The research conducted by Maruyama and his team involved interviews with sewerage staff across various local government sectors. They meticulously organized the challenges these professionals face and highlighted critical issues impacting their operational efficiency.
One major concern identified was the personnel transfers that occur approximately every three years, which result in the loss of vital data and know-how. The research indicated that the brief handover periods exacerbate this issue, leading to a decline in work performance. Through interviews, the team discovered challenges such as unclear handover methods and transitions to specialized fields of expertise that further complicate the situation.
To address these issues, the study proposes leveraging advanced information technologies, including generative AI, to facilitate the transfer of both explicit and tacit knowledge among sewerage personnel. This approach aims to build a robust system that can support seamless knowledge transfer and improve productivity in local government structures. The team plans to continue conducting interviews to explore effective handover techniques and gather more data on the matter.
The Excellence Presentation Award is granted to individuals making exceptional contributions during various events hosted or co-hosted by the Construction Management Committee throughout the year. These events include presentations or discussions on construction management issues, public procurement symposiums, and regional symposiums.
Since its establishment in 1951, Pacific Consultants has played a critical role as a leading company in construction consultancy. Over the past 70 years, the firm has contributed significantly to the development and planning of social infrastructure, including urban planning, architecture, railways, roads, airports, ports, rivers, and water supply systems.
With a vision of "Producing the Future," Pacific Consultants is committed to creating a sustainable society where everyone can live with peace of mind. The firm continuously strives to provide new values to society, addressing modern challenges with innovative solutions.
