Abstract

Due to the highly competitive commercial environment in the market in Yemen at present, the construction industry in Yemen, like other industries, is under pressure to reduce product development time and overall project costs, improve product quality, and satisfy customers. To keep pace with the competitive environment of the market in Yemen, most enterprises tend to adopt the best and new technologies, new management concepts and philosophies such as Total Quality Management (TQM) and concurrent engineering (CE) to achieve improvements in the process of product development. In this paper, the problem of fragmentation brought by the serial engineering in construction in Yemen is discussed firstly. Then, the integration process and CE adoption by the construction industry in Yemen are explained for enabling construction agencies in Yemen to improve the development process of their projects and to solve the current fragmentation problems such as the lack of communication, adversarial culture and the lack of customer focus, which allows the construction process to improve and become more effective and efficient.
