A qualitative case study on variation orders of project management team efficiency in a naval ship construction company

in terms of cost and delayed schedules. This study discovered a four-year schedule delay and an increment up to Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 2.4 billion in Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) ship building project cost. Next, this study determined the contributing factors and impact of VOs on the efficiency of LCS...
