The Digitalization of Project Management in Road Construction of Mongolia

Abstract

Digital transformation has become a critical concept in the construction industry, offering new possibilities for optimizing project management, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. However, Mongolia's road construction sector has a range of challenges, including limited resources, a fragmented supply chain, and a need for more modern infrastructure. This thesis explores the importance of digital transformation and the LEAN construction method in the Mongolian road construction industry. Furthermore, it examines the opportunities and challenges of implementing digital technology and a LEAN management approach. Using a survey and data analysis research design, we surveyed specialized road construction engineers and member companies of the Mongolian Road Association to gather data on the current state of digital methods and project management approaches in the industry. We also conducted a mock study of LEAN Construction software and management approaches to assess its potential for improving project management in the road construction sector.
