Since COVID-19 outbreak from Wuhan, China, rapid transformations worldwide demonstrate commitments in many countries towards new norms of social distancing and mask-compulsory trends of life. As the economic downturn affects public sector in terms of supply, services, and development projects, new challenges should be viewed as an opportunity for fundamental change, and public procurement reform as a catalyst for improving public policy and engaging civil society. Thus, this paper aims to examine the causative failure factors (CFF) of delay of mechanical asset procurement during pandemic from the Malaysian perspective. The literature reviews consider recent journal articles involving project management to understand the CFF of delay in overall project management and its relativity to mechanical asset procurement. Then, the paper suggests implementation of project management tools: Ishikawa diagram and PESTLE relatively to heavy equipment. Finally, this paper discusses the CFF to enable a comprehensive project scheduling to eliminate or avoid nuisance during project execution and completion. |
