1 INTRODUCTION ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT

The Project Risk Management Plan (RMP) gives a system and depicts the project risk
management process utilized on the venture to design, distinguish, survey, sort, measure, handle,
and report/track risk related to the accomplishment of Proposed Construction and Completion of a
project. To meet the task objective, the risk management process is required to such an extent
that risk can be persistently assessed and overseen so as to limit the result of adverse events.
A definitive objective of risk management is to build the likelihood of the project and action
accomplishment by concentrating attention o problem area early and reducing the amount of
costly rework in the future. For every single risk, there is a potential effect of costs, plan deferrals,
safety, and environment and to the public. Subsequently, risk management will be applied
constantly throughout the project life cycle and will develop and adjust to suit the different project
stages.

1.1 Background of Project

The MRT is the nation's biggest infrastructure project and is an entre point project under
the Economic Transformation Program's Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key
Economic Area (Greater KL/KV NKEA).

With the MRT just as different activities to improve public transportation, it is trusted that
the occupants of the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley territory will no longer endure any
issues with mobility. Target to accomplish half of all excursions to be finished by public
transportation by 2020 and the MRT will be critical towards accomplishing this objective.

Systematic risk management empowering the venture to improve effectiveness through


risk acceptance and evasion. Decent risk management will improve effectiveness on how a task
works, giving a guide to accomplishing key objectives and targets just as affirmation in how risk
is overseen. Accomplishment in overseeing ventures requires educated, proactive, and
opportune risk management.

The specific objectives of this risk management plan and the RISK MANAGEMENT
approach taken are:

i. Identify all the related risks perceived in an MRT project.

ii. Perform risk assessment for the MRT project.

iii. Proposed risk response plan for the identified risks.

iv. Proposed risk management plan for the MRT project.

1.2 Summary of Project

The Putrajaya Line (recently known as Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line) is the


second line of the KVMRT project to be created. It will serve a hall with a populace of around 2
million individuals extending from Kwasa Damansara, another township advancement in
northwest Kuala Lumpur and its southern rural areas, to Putrajaya, Malaysia’s federal
administrative center.

The length of the alignment will be 56.2km, comprising of 42.7km of elevated tracks and
13.5km going through underground tunnels. It will have 36 operational stations of which 27 are
elevated and 9 underground. A further 4 stations have been accommodated what's to come.

There will be 10 interchange stations and associating stations, making it a lot simpler for
commuter to move from the Putrajaya Line to existing and future rail lines, including the future
Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail. 16 stations will have park and ride offices.The
Government approved the introduction of the Putrajaya Line in 2014. Public inspection pursuant
to Section 84 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 was then carried out from May to August
2015 to provide input and complaints to members of the community.

The final approval of the Putrajaya Line Railway Scheme was granted by the Government
in October 2015, enabling the acquisition of land and the procurement process to continue.

2 PROJECT DETAILS ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT

This chapter discuss the project in detail in terms of the context, the purpose and the
scope of works.

2.1 Project Context

The aim and purpose of this group project is to evaluate how the risk management plan is
being used in the industry specifically in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) construction and to get a
clearer view on how the construction key player such as client, consultant and contractor deal
and manage with risk throughout the construction phase. All the risk management steps learned
during lecture is implemented to give us better understanding about the risk management
process. The risk management plan is divided into four parts which the process start from Risk
Identification, Risk Assessment, Risk Response and finally Risk Monitoring Plan.There are
many methods /techniques and tools to carry out a comprehensive risk analysis during this case
study for example:

1. Monte Carlo Simulation


2. Cost Benefit Analysis.
3. Multi Criteria Decision Analysis.
4. Decision Tree Analysis.
5. Cause and Effect Analysis.
6. Markov Analysis.
7. Root Cause Analysis.
8. Cause consequence analysis.

For the MRT project we use Root Cause Analysis. This method is a systematic way of
identifying the underlying cause of an issue, instead of only the surface, this method is
established based on the idea that prevention is crucial rather than just treating the symptoms.
All the risk is first identified by using this method, then a convincing response was given in the
Risk Response part to give a clearer view for the board of MRT SSP LINE construction player
on how the risk will be minimize and can be prevent. Finally, Risk Monitoring part is described to
complete this Risk Management Plan before further action were taken.

2.3 Scope of Project

Putrajaya Line is one of the three planned MRT rail lines of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid
Transit Project for MRT Corp. It has been divided by two phase of operation. Phase I is
expected to be operated by July 2021 of Kwasa Damansara - Kampung Batu while Phase II for
Kampung Batu – Putrajaya Sentral in January 2023.

Currently, the project phase have achieved Degree 2 requirement which the detailed
control baseline of the project work is monitored for the task starts and completions and also the
progress control except for Cyberjaya North Station that has been affected due to the
Movement Control Order (MCO).

This MRT SSP Project has been managed by two entities, the Mass Rapid Transit
Corporation (MRT Corp) as the project owner and project manager. Their main focus is the
underground design and build package. Another one is MMC Gamuda JV, the project delivery
partner that involved for the elevated and system works packages.

SSP Line Project Division in the MRT Corp has been responsible for the construction of
tunnels and stations, the eleveted guideway depots and also the elctrical and mechanical
systems for the whole railway scheme. This project used the Building Information Modelling
(BIM) at the fullest in designing the required models and purposes, outline the objectives and
having an achievable project lifecycle from the concept and design phase to the final project
phase.

3 RISK MANAGEMENT

The risk management process needs to be clearly comprehended first before any project
is undertaken. The terms and definition of project risk and the objectives must be justified in
order to achieve effective risk management.

3.1 Risk Management Organization

The managing of risk is not exclusive to risk department. For this case, the contractor
involved is the one responsible for the management of risks. The organization chart of the
contractor can be seen below.

3.2 Terms and Definition of Project Risk

Project risk that is defined by PMI means “an uncertain event or condition that if occurs
has positive or negative effects on a projects’s objectives”. Project Risk Management include
the process to identify, analyze and give response towards the risks that arise in a life cycle of a
project. This course helps the project to remain on path and achieve its goal. Project risk
management include:

 Risk management planning – a systematic process that prepared to foresee risks,


estimating the impacts and response to the risks which include in the risk
management activities throughout the project.

 Risk identification – a process to determine risks that might potentially affect or


impact the objectives of the project.

 Qualitative risk analysis – an analyses that help to assess impact and likelihood for
the risks identified they would be given on a project using a scale. It is to prioritize
the risks according to their probability and impact.

 Quantitative risk analysis – an analyses that involves numeric estimation or


quantitative rating to assess the effect of the risk. It provides a quantitative approach
for the decision making if there is uncertainty.

 Risk respond planning – involves the process of develop strategic options,


determine actions, increase opportunities and reduce any threats in a project.

 Risk monitoring and control - an ongoing process for the project’s life cycle. It keep
track the risk responses to the plan and also identify if any new risks arise in the
cycle.

3.4 Effective Risk Management


Faculty of Civil Engineering ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT
Effective project risk management will be accomplished if:

i. Across the Works Package Contractor (WPC) awareness exists that can be a
significant contributor to project failure due to insufficient risk management.

ii. The WPC is clear about the project objectives

iii. WPC 's recognition that the project is always in trouble even though well
designed and has comprehensive cost and scope control systems in place,
therefore requiring efficient and competent risk management practices.

iv. It has acknowledged that future results will be strengthened by the application
of lessons learned.

v. There is awareness of the need for the WPC to be well informed of the most
serious risks, their immediacy, the likelihood of occurrence and the potential
impact they face.

vi. Sufficient time and resources are devoted to risk management and control.

vii. There is a strong duty and accountability for risk management.

viii. The assessment of risk characteristics is based on accurate, timely and up-to
- date information subject to review and competitive challenge.

ix. Risk management is constantly implemented during the contract.

Top-level WPC dedication to risk management. The WPC Project Director 'buys into' risk
management and understands that the time spent on risk management improves both the
efficiency and productivity of the project.

4 RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT


Faculty of Civil Engineering

The construction risk management process will include planning the process
examining and evaluating information, communicating results and following up.

Risk Management Process is a method by which risk to the project (e.g to the scope,
deliverables, timescales or resources) are formally identified, quantified and managed during
the execution of the project. The process entails completing a number of actions to reduce
the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of impact of each risk.

A Risk Management Process is used to ensure that every risk is formally:

 Identified

 Quantified

 Monitored

 Avoided, transferred or mitigated.

Although the Risk Management Process is undertaken during the ‘Execution’ phase of
the project risks may be identified at any stage of the project lifecycle. In theory, any risk
identified during the life of the project will need to be formally managed as part of the Risk
Management Process. Without a formal Risk Management Process in place the objective of
delivering a solution within ‘time, cost and quality’ may be compromised.

The Construction Risk Management will be undertaken on this project through the
implementation of five key processes:

i. The identification of project risks.

ii. The logging and prioritizing of project risks.

iii. The identification of risk mitigating actions.

iv. The closure of project risks.

4.1 Risk Identification


Faculty of Civil Engineering ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT
The first step in the risk management process is the risk identification. To identify risks,
there are several tools and technique available. The method used for the identification of
risks in this project is root-cause analysis.

There are wide variety of tools and techniques which can be used to identify risk in
ptoject management. The technique used to identify the risks in this project are mostly by
gathering information.

4.1.1 Root-Cause Analysis

Root-cause analysis is one of the methods used in the risk management process. It
is a systematic way of identifying the underlying cause of an issue, instead of only the
surface, this method is established based on the idea that prevention is crucial rather than
just treating the symptoms. The ultimate goal of this method is to investigate what, how,
when it happened and the further action that should be done to treat it now and also to
prevent in the future.

The benefits of this method are the solutions are found permanently to treat the
problem through a systematic process, in which one process is the result of another. This
method focuses on the principles of why, not who. The 5 whys tool is only a vague guide, as
the why can be more than 5. The why asked are repeated 5 times to achieve a clear solution
to the problem. However, the challenge of this method is that the thought process is linear.

4.1.2 Risk Identification Techniques

There are several techniques available in order to identify risks. The techniques are
divided into groups such as information gathering, documentation and research. However,
the techniques used in this project are only the information gathering method which
comprise of the following:

 Brainstorming

 Interviews

 Questionnaires

4.1.3 Risk Identification Tools ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT


Faculty of Civil Engineering

The tool used for the identification method in root-cause analysis is 5 Whys. 5 Whys
is a convenient way to easily track the root cause of a surface problem. Other tools can also
be used such as fault tree and fishbone diagram. However, there are limitations for this tool
such as the process is a linear one and the assumptions made. This tool assume that the
root cause is singular instead of multiple. Moreover, this tool also assumes that once the root
cause is solved, the problem is solved immediately as there is only one root cause.

4.3 Risk Prioritization


Faculty of Civil Engineering ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT
The priorities of the risks are different according to the rating given in the Risk
Assessment Matrix. Their impact of assessmens and probabilities of the occurences will be
process to derive the rank-order for the identified risks and then determine their priorities.
The purpose of prioriting risks is to pave a reasonable mitigation action according to allocate
resources.

Based on the risk prioritization grid, it shows that four risks are in the yellow category
which action planning and response should be organize. It is a type of medium risk that can
impact the cost, time and quality of the project if further mitigation planning not carrry out.
For example, this type of risk can incurred increase in budget, project delay and cause
damages or deficit during the construction phase. These risks can be implemented after the
high category risk have been resolved.

The second category involves is red with three risks included that need full attention.
The response should be highly planned with more practical method. They are the most
demanding matter that need to make immediate action to control the risks because it can
impact the project severely such as prolong project delay and fatality. This category need to
prioritize in the first place before others.

4.3.2 RVCE Prioritization Matrix ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT


Faculty of Civil Engineering

The Risk-Value-Cost-Effort (RVCE) prioritization matrix is based on the four criteria to


categorize risks and considers the competing priorities. It helps organization to focus on
important issues and making wise decisions to achieve strategic and operational goals. The
criteria are:

 Risk - potential of gaining or losing something value

 Value - desirability or quality of something considered worthwhile

 Cost - investment of time and money

 Effort - quality and quantity of resources, management, man-hours needed to


realize project benefits

Description:

a. Quadrant 1- the risks should be avoided as they are high risk and cost plus low
value.

b. Quadrant 2- the risks can be considered in the future as the more important ones
need to be implemented first. Might be a lower type of risk as the is more important
things to get done.

c. Quadrant 3- the risk should be prioritized and implemented since they are high
value and effort.

d. Quadrant 4- the risk are high in all four decision criteria but still need to be
investigated as the time and effortmaybe substantial.

4.4 Risk Response


Faculty of Civil Engineering ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk response is the action taken as part of the strategy to react towards the certain
risk encountered. There are a few reponses that can be taken including avoid, transfer,
mitigation and accept. Based on the MRT SSP Line case study the objective of this project is
to be completed within the time schedule. Mitigation is probably the most common risk
response strategy and it is certainly the one used the most in this project. It is where the
contractors project team come up with an action to make the risk less of a problem if it does
happen again. The contractor needs to develop scientific mitigation measures to overcome
or minimize each risk from happening. The preventative measures need to be taken to
eliminateach the possible risk from happening. There are a few methods to mitigate the risk
carried out by the contractor project team in the following ways ; Risk avoidance, Risk
sharing, Risk reduction and risk transfer.

Risk avoidance is usually used to develop an alternative strategy that has higher
probability but usually at higher cost associated with accomplishing aproject task. An
example of risk avoidanve technique is to use an existing and proven technologies rather
than adopting a new techniques, even though that the new techniques may show promising
and better results and performance at a lower cost. Contractor can choose their previous
sub contractor or supplier with a proven track record over a new vendor that will surely gives
significant prices incentives and rates or work to avoid the risk of working with the new
supplier or sub-contractor. In this case study also we can see that the contractor of this
project use the conventional methods and software to identify and to control the risk during
the construction timeline and process,

Risk Sharing involves partnering with others to share responsibilities for the
construction activity. Many organization that works on international or bigger and more
complex projects will reduce political, legal, labor and other risk types by developing a joint
venture with a company located at that country. Another ways to share the risk is by
partnering with the other company so that risk can be shared together, rathers than the risk
and problems faced by only one partaker. The risk associated with a portion of the project is
adventageous when the other companies partnering in the project have their own expertise
and experience handling the project that the other participant don’t have. By chance if any
risk event does occur, the partnering company will share the consequence and also absorb
all of the negative nad positive impact of the event. The benefits or profits gained by the
successful projects will also will be derive by both company.

Risk transfer is a reduction method that shifts the risk from the project to another party.
For example
Faculty is Engineering
of Civil ECD733
the purchase of an insurance of a certain items RISK
is one wayMANAGEMENT
of the risk transfer
method. The risk from the project is transfer to the insurance company. All the construction
workers normally covered with an health insurance so that incase of any accidents or helath
problems faced by them during the construction duration the insurance company will cover
all the medical cost and expenses. The purchase of the insurance covered will be
usuallytaken in areas that the project team cannot control for example weather, polical
problem, labor strikes that can give a significant impact to the project.

If this risk is still happening in the future a concrete and contingency measures need to
be taken to minimize the impact caused and to remidiate the impact and this risk response
can be changed through out the project process and lify cycle. The preventative measures
and contingency measures will be in detailed discussed by all the construction player and
will be concluded in the method of statement, project quality plans, health and safety plans,
emergency response plans, communication and etc. before the work of the project
commence.

4.5 Risk Monitoring & Control

Risk monitoring and control are part of the process involved in risk management
whereas it was implemented in order to ensure all the risk identify are monitored and fully
control. Contractor involves will have to attend the Monthly Risk Workshop with the Project
Delivery Partner (PDP) which representative of the client. For MRT project, there will be the
Person In-Charges (PIC) who will monitor and control any risk issue. The process of risk
monitoring and controlling are advised by Planning Department. The process of monitoring
and controlling are referred to timeline and schedule data. Referring to the risk identification,
the table below is the outcome as to monitor and control the risk. For example, there was a
method used by the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) in order to track any changes in the
building design. Any changes related to the building will be updated in the online system. It
helps to control any discrepancy in terms of design. Besides that, any changes will be
reviewed by the Person In-Charges appointed by the PDP. By the implementation of using a
tracker, risk mitigation could be completed. According to the table, the risk will be controlled
by a parties and the status of controlling. In this project, most of the monitoring and
controlling the risk event are still open since the process of controlling is still on going.

5 RISK REGISTER ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT


Faculty of Civil Engineering

A Risk Register is a tool for documenting risks, and actions to manage each
risk. The Risk Register is essential to the successful management of risk. As risks
are identified they are logged on the register and actions are taken to respond to the
risk. Risk is evident in everything we do. When it comes to project management,
understanding risk and knowing how to minimize its impacts.

The Risk Register is essential to the management of risk. As risks are identified
they should be logged on the register and actions should be taken to respond to the
risk. Most frequently Risk Managers attempt to reduce the likelihood of the risk
occurring or the impact if the risk does occur.

The responses are documented on the Risk Register and the register should
regularly review to monitor progress. Ideally the Risk Register should be reviewed in
every project team meeting. It should certainly be review at the end of each phase of
the project lifecycle. It is clear that risk exists and that when managing a project, it
requires a system to identify and track. So, now let us dissect the parts of risk log
tracking so when it can get the most out of one when to use it.

Management of risk should be a constant ongoing process with the project


team raising risks with the Risk Manager or Project Manager who then logs the risk
and identifies actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk. To properly respond to a
risk, the Risk Manager may need to bring in experts to understand the actions that
can be taken to reduce the likelihood of the risk occurring or the impact.

Get the team together to brainstorm potential risks. Every team member is
responsible for different areas of the project, so to use their expertise to help identify
potential project derailing risks. that also need to inform with stakeholders to make
sure their concerns are brought to mind, and are tracking their risks, too. The size of
the risk register will likely depend on the complexity of the project. To make sure to
exhaust all areas of potential impact, from market forces to resources to the weather.

The next thing needs to be done is to describe the risk. It has to be tried as
thorough as it can while keeping the description to the essentials. Having too vague a
risk, will be a challenge to truly understanding whether a risk has become a real

6 CONCLUSION ECD733 RISK MANAGEMENT


Faculty of Civil Engineering

Referring to the construction process of MRT, the project flow is based follow the
standard provided by the client who represent by the Project Delivery Partner (PDP).
As compared to other construction process, the MRT project are well managed the
risk management process. Since the MRT Corp also involves in Risk Management
Forum 2019, it shows that the MRT Project is fully monitored in all aspect, include in
terms of risk management process. A good risk management process is very
important in order to control the risk in site.

Basically, the impact of good risk response can be identified when the process of
the construction project is less in delayed, no pending project either in terms of
workers or material. Since MRT is a well-known project in the construction industry.
Most of the process involved in the process of construction can be used as a
reference, for example the risk management process.

The risk management processes for MRT project are mostly standardize for
every Packages. No denial can be made since the MRT project also involves in a
certain unexpected incident, such as the incident happen in Tun Razak Exchange
MRT whereas one of the workers died when he was trapped under the debris.
According to what has been reported, site has been closed in order to proceed the
investigation of the incident.

Based on the issue, it stated that MRT has management process would help to
encounter the risk. As refer to all the risk identified, it mostly high related to the
process of construction. This can be relating that the highest risk come out during the
construction process was in term of construction rather than the safety issue. As the
safety is a rare issue, most highlighted regarding MRT was an accident issue.

By follow the good step of construction, the problem during construction can be
avoided for examples, the delayed due to materials, inexperienced workers and
financial problems. The implementation of a risk management also involves many
parties as the contribution and cooperation of other parties will influenced the
management flow. In this issue, it can be conclude that, the consultant, client and
contractor need to know their scope of work as to ensure they are also part of the
parties who helps a good risk management in construction process. As refer to the
MRT management process, the PDP appointed plays an important role in order to
