Project management of"Internet+urban and rural water supply"based on partnership:Case of Ningxia water supply system
[Objective]In the context of China's promotion of the construction of major water conservancy projects,Ningxia has actively participated in the construction of the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project.The management of this project is crucial for determining its success or failure.However,current research only analyzes the application of water supply project management to urban and rural water supply projects,lacking empirical analysis on the relationships of water supply project management,partnership,and project performance.This paper uses the Ningxia water supply system as an example to propose a water supply project management model based on stakeholder partnership,which can provide a theoretical foundation for"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project management.[Methods]The present research obtained empirical data using a questionnaire survey method.A partial least square-structural equation model(PLS-SEM)was established using questionnaire data for quantitative analysis to verify the feasibility of the model.Based on the constructed conceptual model and empirical data,a preliminary questionnaire was designed.Further,the Likert 5-point scale method was used to quantitatively assign scores to the questionnaires.Six variables were selected:partnership,demonstration and design management,construction management,operation and maintenance management,"Internet+urban and rural water supply"engineering system operation,and project performance.[Results]This research showed the interaction mechanism between the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project partnership,project management,and project performance,proving that the stakeholder partnership could strengthen the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project demonstration and design management,project construction management,and operation and maintenance management,which improved the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"engineering system operation and enhanced the project performance.[Conclusions]Based on the present analyses,the project management of the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project should be improved from the following aspects:(1)give full consideration to the role of stakeholder partnerships in the early stage of demonstration and design,construction management,and operation and maintenance management of the"Internet+urban and rural water supply"project;(2)utilize information technologies to improve project management,such as building information modeling(BIM)and city information modeling(CIM);(3)establish design,construction,and operation and maintenance management process based on information technology,monitor the status of design,construction,and operation and maintenance in real time,realize dynamic management of design,construction,and operation and maintenance,and ensure achievement of project objectives;(4)utilize the respective advantages of designers,construction parties,and operation and maintenance parties to enhance engineering system operation efficiency,and ultimately achieve project performance.
