IBS & PPMS definition

Collecting the definition of Industrial Building System and Project Performance Monitoring System. However I am still not fully understand about the PPMS is all about. I just know a rough detail about it which is the PPMS is a system that help project manager to control and monitor the project itself.

Definition :-

Project Performance Monitoring System (PPMS) : 

Project Performance Monitoring System (PPMS) that aims to assist project managers in exercising construction project control. With the aid of a panel of project management specialists, the following project performance measure categories are identified for inclusion in the PPMS: People, Cost, Time, Quality, Safety and Health, Environment, Client Satisfaction, and Communication. For each of the performance measure categories, performance indicators and their measurements are also established. The monitoring process is automated through the use of the World Wide Web and database technology. Data collection and dissemination are similarly automated. The use of the PPMS can help senior project management, project directors, project managers, etc., in monitoring and assessing project performance.Sai On Cheung(2004)
