"Sick" project
Salam and dear all,
When a public sector construction project is delayed by 30% i.e. its actual progress is 30% behind the planned progress, the project is classified as "projek sakit" or "sick" project.
But not anymore. In a recent circular issued by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia in September 2009 a project is classified as "sick" when its actual progress is 20% behind the planned progress.

Wassalam.

What happens to a project when it falls into the 'sick' category? In my experience if a project falls behind by 20% then there is very little chance of it completing on time. I would hope this re-classification will urge companies to implement standardised project controls methodologies that highlight baseline divergences via early warning indicators. Then after acceleration strategies are actioned projects will not fall into the 'projek sakit' category. Where can a copy of this circular be obtained from?
Prof, i wonder that, what if the consequence when to the project and the contractor involved if the project classified as "projek sakit" or "sick" poject?
