Drivers of supply chain strategies:
(UMT Lahore, 2013) Sheikh Wajid Rahman
The aim of the current study is to empirically investigate the relationship between product nature discussed in marketing literature and supply chain strategy. A cross-sectional survey based approach and snowballing technique was used to collect data for the study, total 79 responses were gathered through this effort .Data were collected from the managers working in the functional areas of marketing and supply chain management. Canonical correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between product types and supply chain strategy. Regression analysis was used to explore the directionality between product types and supply chain strategy. Results indicate that efficient supply chain strategy has positive association with for convenience goods; responsive supply chain strategy has positive relationship with specialty goods. However, shopping goods require combination of both the strategies. The findings of the study have implications for understanding the drivers of supply chain strategy and provide a broader understanding of the influence of product nature on the choice of supply chain strategy.

To explore the health information seeking behavior (hisb) and health care services utilization behavior (hcsub) of internally displaced population (idps) residing in lahore
(UMT Lahore, 2017) Farah Zafar
The majority of internally displaced persons (IDPs) spend their greater time in different camps before their arrangements residing in host country. Resource limitations, mental disturbance and stress of leaving their own residence lead to a variety acute communicable and non communicable disease upon their settlement. Many of internally displaced migrants have little awareness about their health. This thesis included a research in which different questionnaires were filled with participants to explore their health seeking behavior and utilization of their health services. A total number of 53 participants were there to filled questionnaires. Filled questionnaires revealed that majority of internally displaced persons do not have regular access of their health services and proper medication for their diseases. The other major issues for IDPs were language and communication barrier at all stages for their health care access. Different cultural beliefs about health seeking behavior and health care access directly affected internally displaced person level of care. These all types of barrier delayed the IDPs health in long term manner. This research study suggests overcoming the delay in health care services access and also facilitating the internally displaced person for existing services.
A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of master in science in project management at school of professional advancement
(UMT Lahore, 2017) Mr. MUHAMMAD FAHEEM
The existing transport infrastructure in Pakistan needs to be enhanced and present government is very keen in doing so. The present Punjab Government is developing much transport infrastructure projects in Punjab and especially in Lahore. At the same time they are facing delays during construction. There are many causes which are affecting transport infrastructure development projects. Time delays mean extra capital / budget to be put in. Out of many causes, 7 causes which are very critical have been identified in this thesis. These are undue interference of owner at any stage of project, mistakes and discrepancies during drafting of contract documents, lack of subcontractor’s skills, transportation delays due to strike, frequent design changes during execution phase, non-utilization of professional construction management personnel and theft of material on site. From SPSS, the rotated component matrix has shown 2 components / factors. The first 3 causes are under factor 1 and last 4 causes are under factor 2. It is pertinent to mention that first 3 causes relates to Initiation phase of typical Project Life Cycle and last 4 causes relates to Execution phase. The two delay factors identified during thesis are Initiation Delays and Execution Delays. As these two Project Life Cycle Phases are very important and ultimately delays in these two phases may affect the last phase i.e. Project Closure Phase. This study is exploratory in nature with multistage stratified sampling technique has been used
Status of prevalence of communicable disease by screening of hepatitis b, hepatitis c and tb among internally displaced population in khan colony lahore
(UMT Lahore, 2017) Murtaza Haider Jaferi
The migration crisis has emerged as a new agenda to table the international dialogues after Syria and Myanmar war and violence in recent decade. In 2015 the global migration crisis hit the toll of over 40 million people displaced as a result of wars and violence. The recent development of global interest in migration phenomena is influenced by main push factors of economic or social stability for population movement across the international border or within the international boundary. There are estimated 28 million people globally that are called internally displaced Persons (IDPs) and they moved within the country of origin. The burden of disease due to population movement may exert pressure on available resources of the host community that in turn can pose significant threat to the scarcity of healthcare services. In Pakistan the IDPs crisis originated at a larger scale after military operation against terrorist groups in 2009. A large number of IDPs moved from conflict affected zone of Khyber Pakhtoon Khwa to settled urban areas of Pakistan including Lahore. This study has assessed the proportion of burden of communicable disease caused by influx of migratory population within the urban area in Lahore. The study to assess the burden of communicable diseases is conducted in Khan Colony, Lahore where IDP community is residing. The study is cross sectional prospective survey conducted by collection of data through semi structured questionnaire and taking blood samples for detection of sero-positivity of anti bodies for detection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and sputum samples for detection of tuberculosis (TB). The sampling technique used for this study is non random convenient sampling with sample size of 53 participants. The author finds that (22.6%) of the IDP population out of total sample of 53 participants is infected with anti HCV virus. The large majority of the studied population comprised of female (73.6%) participants. There is another coincidence observed in the prevalence rate of HCV that out of iv total infected population about (75%) population consisted of female. The IDP population residing in Khan Colony, Lahore is mainly originated from Peshawar (42%) and Mardan (34%) divisions of Khyber Pakhtun Khwa Province. The author found that the studied population is deprived of standardized healthcare facilities within their community and the community is prone to bear the burden of epidemic of communicable disease due to poverty with unemployment (79%) and over crowdedness (83%) sharing of room with more than three persons. The studied population is observed to be living in low socio-economic conditions as evidenced from population living in mud houses (15%), unemployment (89.4%) and high illiteracy (68%) rate. The most important recommendation from this study is to initiate the aggressive measures to interrupt HCV infection by implementation of social mobilization methods for better awareness of the community.
Exploring the risk factor associated with pre-engineered building projects in lahore.
(UMT Lahore, 2017) Rizwan Khurram
The construction industry is more exposed to risk than other industry. If the risk is not handled properly it may causes the poor performance on the industry. Building projects scales are large in nature and they involved large amount of investment. Wastage of any resource influence is high loss in project. All the losses are associated with risk factors. In Pakistan, only few researches have been done so far in this area. Thus this study needs focus of risk management in field of construction projects. From study we conclude that financial issue, skillful workers, shortage and inaccurate design are significant risk factors affecting the projects. Contractors are responsible for risk linked with machinery, material and quality related issues. While clients is responsible for the risk associated with scope of work. Study concludes that good coordination and communication between stakeholders and proper drawings works are key factors to control the project.
Exploring the factors associated with project complexity in transport infrastructure development projects
(UMT Lahore, 2017) Tahir Saeed Maqbool
Enormous Transport Infrastructure Development Projects with expanding intricacies are being established at an increasing ratio in the developing countries. Project management is becoming complicated because of its bulkier Projects in term of duration and cost but also due to large number of stakeholders involved. In this respect, Project management is becoming increasing complex not only because of Projects are becoming larger in term of duration and cost but also due to large number of stakeholders involved. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors associated with project complexity in Transport Infrastructure development projects. This research is exploratory and employed quantitative paradigm to answer the research question. Findings of this research show that five factors are associated with project complexity in Transport Infrastructure Development Projects which are: Ambiguity in initial phases, Interdependence among process, Context, Diversity in background and large size. The research limitation is that this research employed the quantitative research strategy. This strategy yield data with greater latitude but not in profundity. Therefore, this research did not implement in-depth exploratory techniques associated with qualitative research paradigm. Furthermore, the cross-section of the respondents represent only Transport Infrastructure Development Projects, the sample does not cover all the possible sectors which could have complex projects (Engineering, IT, Supply chain etc.…). However, further investigation is required for other complex sectors.
Impact of working conditions on job satisfaction of employees in paint industry in lahore
(2018) Hafiz Muhammad Atif Ilyas
Paint industry is one of the core industries of Pakistan which is playing its pivotal role in the economic growth of the country. The key purpose of this study was to evaluate the reasons which are liable for manipulating the job satisfaction of employees in the pain industry. In this study, the researcher evaluated the relationship among various factors associated with job satisfaction of the employees. For instance, the relationship between salary and job satisfaction; working environment and job satisfaction; security of job and job satisfaction; and supervisory support and job satisfaction of employees working in paint industry in Lahore. In this study, convenience sampling was taken from four major paint industries of Pakistan which included AKZONOBEL, KANSAI, NIPPON and BERGER. Data was collected form 150 respondents from the above mentioned industries and different tests were applied for the reliability and validity of the instrument. Afterwards, all necessary assumptions were checked before applying multiple regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis was applied to evaluate the strength of relationship among different factors. The results of this study depicted that working environment and compensation/ salary have significant impact on the job satisfaction of employees working in paint industry. Whereas, the results also presented that security of job and supervisory support have no significant influence on the satisfaction of employees in the paint industry. Therefore, it is recommended that paint industry should concentrate on the better working environment and compensation structure of their employees because paint industry has very hard working environment with respect to its operations. The facilitation in the working environment will undeniably enhance the level of satisfaction of the employees. In the same way, good salary and additional financial benefits will attract the employees, amplify their satisfaction and decline the turnout, which ultimately grounds the financial growth of industry.
Exploring the glass ceiling factors for females in the it industry of pakistan
(UMT Lahore, 2018) Fatima Idrees
Despite making up 48% of the population, women in Pakistan represent only 24% of the workforce according to World Bank’s report of 2014. The number of females in the top management is even lower forming only 3% of the participation. This lack of participation in the upper tiers is hindered by certain barriers. The elusive barriers that obstruct the career growth of women to the top of the organizational hierarchy are symbolized by the term coined as “glass ceiling”. This study explores the factors that constitute this glass ceiling for females in Pakistan IT industry. A sample of 50 females working in IT sector from various cities of Pakistan were collected using purposive sampling. Focus group discussion was conducted to gain insights that were used to form questions for getting data the respondents in the form of a questionnaire survey. In addition, 3 male CEOs were also interviewed for cross checking of the gathered data. Results are discussed under three categories i.e. the individual/personal, cultural and organizational issues acting as deterrents for females’ professional advancement in the IT sector. The most commonly identified barrier being the mindset of the male members of the society that impedes females from progressing smoothly. Discrimination in the organization and lack of opportunities follow as the second most common; whereas lack of confidence and emotional stability on part of the female form the personal barriers.
Impact of agricultural mechanization development project on yield of major crops in punjab, pakistan
(UMT Lahore, 2018) Muhammad Nadeem Ashraf
Pakistan is an agriculture based economy. The agriculture precinct plays a pivotal part in the development of economy and core source to boost the economic growth of Pakistan. Despite its importance, per acre yield of agricultural crops is very low as compared to global bench mark. Majority of the farmers are small with land holding less than 5 hectares which is just a subsistence level farming actually. The shifting of farmers from subsistence to commercial level farming can only be accomplished through diffusion of modern, efficient and cost effectual technology in the farming system. Government of the Punjab has formulated a policy that focuses on the improvement of rustic community which is mainly reliant on agriculture. In this perspective “Agriculture Mechanization Development project” was implemented in all districts of Punjab to support the small and marginal farmers by provision of agricultural implements on 50 percent subsidized rates. The current study was conducted for the impact assessment of farm implements given to the farmers in the mechanization project. The Punjab province was divided in three zones on the basis of agro-climatic conditions i.e. upper Punjab (rain fed areas) central Punjab (mixed cropping areas) and southern Punjab (wheat and cotton areas). Total of six districts, comprising of maximum beneficiaries were selected (two from each zone). Face to face structured interviews were conducted to get primary data from project beneficiaries (n=210). Paired t-test and regression analysis were applied for comparative analysis of major crops’ yield prior to and after the mechanization scheme. The data depicted that 87.67% respondents were satisfied form the scheme. Analysis showed that farming practices of the respondents were improved by timelines of farm operations and improved efficiency by the use of implements provided in the scheme which ultimately increased the farm production. The use of agricultural implements had also helped the farmers to overcome their labor constraints at peak seasons. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant increase on the yield of all major crops which means the agricultural mechanization development project had a positive impact on the yield of all crops being cultivated in Punjab province. The mean increase in yield of sugarcane crop was found maximum i.e. 30.769 mounds per acre, followed by maize 4.056 mounds and cotton 3.014 mounds per acre. Whereas mean increase in wheat and rice crops’ yield were 2.181 mounds and 2.026 mounds per acre respectively. It is suggested that agricultural mechanization and such other programs can be considered as efficient tool to fight against poverty, improve socio-economic level and income creating activities among rural communities. By considering the existing paradoxical economic position of the country as well as internal and external confronts, reliance on agriculture sector will further augment to advance the pace of national development. Therefore instant action is required to accelerate productivity and profitability of this segment both in horizontal and vertical ways. There is dire need of mapping of crop zones specific technologies in the province along with development of indigenous low cost agricultural machines, bringing research &development institutes under one umbrella by strengthening research linkages and encouraging reverse engineering of imported machines to enhance poor farmers’ access to the technology. Govt. of Punjab should chalk out comprehensive agricultural mechanization policy to ensure crop specific technology that should be technically feasible, economically viable and socially acceptable to promote its sustainability for the farming community of the province.

(UMT Lahore, 2018) Muhammad Asad Mitru
Construction industry is dynamic in nature. The concept of project success has ambiguously defined in the construction industry. Project success means different things to different people. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) system is the soul of every construction project. There are many companies which are providing MEP services. This study is based on one of the largest firm named MEP-Solutions which is providing these services (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) on larger scale in Pakistan considering construction industry. The aim of this Study is to explore the variations “same company sometimes face loss in one project while earn profit” in another in project implementation. The study is based on two projects, one is Emporium mall (from where MEP Solutions get loss) and compare it with most successful project Lotte Kolsen (from where MEP Solutions get success). This study was based on 110 responses to a structured questionnaires, and 7 responses of interview questions from persons of strategic level, also included documentation analysis toexplore managerial perceptions and variations about both project characteristics. This study was intended to analyze the data of both projects and compared it with each other to find out the variables which effect the performance of projects of MEP Solutions.

(UMT Lahore, 2018) Ishaq Bin Zaighum
This study follows the updated framework of project success considering project sustainability, long term impact and stakeholders satisfaction in addition to traditional parameters of time, cost and scope. Instead of following a life-cycle based approach, the critical success factors pertaining to implementing organizations have been taken to study their relationship with the project success. These factors include availability of project funding, trainings of staff, clearly defined objectives, involvement of beneficiaries in decision making, communications with staff and provision of security to staff. A questionnaire adapted from the available literature on international development projects is administered to collect responses from development professionals who have worked in USAID funded international development projects in Pakistan. The respondents include managers, specialists, component leads, officers and associates. The analysis of the relationship reveals that availability of project funding, trainings of staff, clearly defined objectives, involvement of beneficiaries in decision making and provision of security to staff positively influence the success of USAID funded international development projects in Pakistan.
Critical factors of supplier selection and their impact on supply chain performance in hospitals
(UMT Lahore, 2018) Nabia Anser
Supplier selection is a well-studied subject, but for healthcare sector it needs further exploration. Supply chain management practices are now being followed by many industries including healthcare. This significant part of supply chain is performed by the suppliers or also known as strategic business partners. Suppliers’ performance is highly influential on the value chain of the company whose ultimate purpose is to provide high quality service to the customers. Healthcare sector in Pakistan is somehow unstructured and there are various private and public sector institutions are operational to provide healthcare services in Pakistan. This research study focuses on the factors that are highly influential in supplier selection process for the hospitals in Pakistan and their potential impact on the supply chain performance. The researcher used quantitative research strategy to collect data from managerial supply chain staff for the hospitals. Data was collected using a questionnaire and empirical tests were run to measure the association between the research variables. The results showed a strong association between costs, quality and service delivery on supply chain performance of the hospitals. However, supplier profile and risks association with supplier’s location were not significantly affecting supply chain performance of the hospitals. The research findings have implications for the supply chain managers of the hospitals to think beyond the cost model only and focus on the other factors such as service delivery and quality of the supplier while making supplier selection decisions.

(UMT Lahore, 2019) Abdul Ghaffar Rana
Infrastructure advancement reflects its key role in financial and socio-economic progression of Pakistan. Project execution and accomplishment majorly depend on the leadership competencies. The dynamics of leadership define the influence of a leader i.e. project manager in lead on his team to complete any type of project and make it a success. The objective of the study is to investigate the influence of project managers’ leadership competencies in light of theory explaining “The Competency School of Leadership” coupled with specific project type on project success outcomes for transport infrastructure projects. A structured questionnaire-based survey was conducted to collect data using purposive sampling from individuals that are currently or have been involved in recently completed projects in transport infrastructure development of Lahore. A total of 152 useful responses were returned. Findings obtained using moderated regression analysis using Andrew Hayes ‘process’ technique suggest that leadership competence of project managers is insignificant for successful completion of the projects under a particular project type. Results suggest that the project managers in leadership position when effectively and efficiently utilize their competencies of intellectual strength, managerial procedures and emotional balance for successful actualization of transport infrastructure projects. Moreover, it has been found that project managers in these projects exhibit efficacious leadership competencies that are substantial without regard to any project type in certain for their successful completion.

(UMT Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Ahmad Shahid
The construction industry of Pakistan is playing an important role in economic growth of country. Success of construction projects is generally evaluated on the basis of in time completion, within allocated cost, and achieving required quality standards. In this research I evaluated that relations between different factors with the success of construction industry projects. Like relation between consultant performance (Competency & Experience, Availability & Quality of Drawings, Cooperation of site staff, Verification of Bill and Issue & Dispute Avoidance) and project success & relation between Contractor’s Employees Satisfaction (Compensation & Reward, Career Development, Job Security & Workplace Environment) and project success in construction projects in Lahore area. This research is based on the survey of 3 construction projects based on traditional procurement method to acquire the success feedback regarding performance of consultant and satisfaction of contractor employees in Lahore region. Which included IKAN Engineering Services Pvt ltd, DESCON Engineering & FABCON Engineering). In this research I used convenience sampling for data collection. From past literature review, the project success factors and their indicators are adopted. In this study we collected data from 130 respondents from the above mentioned industries and applied different tests for the reliability and validity of instrument, after that used multiple regression analysis to evaluate the strength of relationships between above mentioned factors. Before apply multiple regression analysis, I also checked the all assumptions which is necessary for this operation. Procedure the result got form the multiple regression analysis, it has clearly communicated that the impact of Cooperation of site staff, Availability & Quality Drawings and Verification of Bill & Issue in consultant performance on the project success of the construction projects in Lahore area is looking significant, as its beta value are percentage of 14.5%, 22.2%, 22.8% The impact of Career Development & Workplace Environment in Contractor’s Employees Satisfaction on the project success of the construction projects in Lahore area is also looking more significant, as its beta value are percentage of 27.6% & 14.4%. The Others factors like Competency & Experience and Issue & Dispute Avoidance in consultant performance and Compensation & Reward and Job Security in contractor employees satisfaction has no significant impact on the on the project success . The beta value are 0.072 & 0.081 and -0.024 & 0.079 accordingly. Which is showing very less ratio of impact on the project success. Finally, the approach of this research is useful to the clients and engineering consulting firms for identifying and improving on their weak areas to enhance the quality of services for their contractors.
Exploring the factors associated with low construction labor productivity
(UMT Lahore, 2019) Ansar Abbas
Labor productivity is always considered to be a captivating and a foremost problem in the construction industry, ensuring cost savings and well-organized use of resources. Although significant no. of researches exists on construction labor productivity issues in other states, but unfortunately, a very low no. of studies has addressed productivity issues in Pakistan. So, being a developing country, issue of labor productivity is equally important to projects located within different cities of Pakistan. The objective of the research is to explore the factors that affect the productivity of construction labor according to the viewpoint of Engineers and contractors working at different construction projects. A questionnaire based survey was conducted by involving respondents from the various construction departments i.e. government, semi government and private sector to categorize factors that affect negatively construction labor productivity in the various construction projects in the various cities of Pakistan. Construction labor productivity is affected by an assembly of factors. However, the analysis shows that the main factors responsible for low labor productivity are poor labor motivation; improper supervision; tool and equipment issues; unfavorable working environment at site; craftsmen issues; lack of training and facilities for Labor; poor safety measures at site; bad weather conditions; low wages and late payments; noncompliance of safety rules by labor.

(UMT Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Zaheer Ahmad
Although Pakistan is a rich country in natural resources but the provision of skilled labor for the industry is essential for its prosperity. Soft projects provide a platform to the populous of a nation for their vocational career and survival for life. This research explores how vocational education and training institutions can educate and prepare well-trained workers for the future by evaluating project management development from the perspective of well-trained workers. Punjab Skill Development Fund (PSDF) provides skills in different trades for 37 districts of Punjab. The study assesses that the criteria of project success for soft projects should be comprised of technical, professional as well as entrepreneurial skill development. Qualitative research has been conducted about the assessment of soft projects (garments stitching training). The study assesses that skills for trainees are beneficial for professional as well as entrepreneurial development of trainees. In this thesis work success of stakeholders is measured and assessed through the distinct dimension “impact on the customer” to gauging the project. The design for the study is based on interviews that involved six participants, demographically with 15-29 years old, trained students working in their relative field. Finally, conclusions were reached and recommendations made. The aim of this study was to show how the professionalism of students and/or trainees got affected by the technical skills through vocational training. This was an unparalleled success of trainees that mostly challenged people can learn different skill trades, hold jobs, earn a livelihood and live independently in their societies. This research also addresses the challenge for the professionally developing students through a particular training course in life which enables them to become more competent and professional to play a role in their particular social orders. This study shows that the training of garments stitching is a project-based which starts and ends with a specific time limit by the approval of the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), through the Punjab Government by the help of Punjab Skills Development Funds.
