Improving construction project scheduling performance amid COVID-19 pandemic / Lu Haw Zheng

Construction projects have been one of the pioneer economic activities in Malaysia ever since the economic transformation in the late 1980s. As part of the project management plan, project schedule management is deemed essential for upkeeping construction projects scheduling performance. The researc...
