Abstract: Projects often miss original targets, owing to the project schedule, cost, safety, quality, etc. being considered as separate elements in project management techniques. It is essential that the project leader and team are aware of the overall status of the project, so that individual focus and efficiency can be attained. A logic diagram in which the construction main theme and the elements are visually presented on the same page will aid stakeholders to understand the overall status of the project, focus on important issues, and efficiently distribute work within team members.

The initial part of this study involves a typical sequence of the phases in a project life cycle from the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), replacing the phases with production as the main theme and including pre-condition work as inputs and the completed work as outputs. Additionally, constraints of safety, quality, and cost are applied to form an integrated construction management work logic diagram. The diagram was developed and executed for one of the five attractions at the Shanghai theme park project. The diagram is a visual control map that enables a project leader and the team to visualize the construction progress with workload distribution, interface, and elucidate the current status and relationships of quality, safety, cost, and other tasks, thus facilitating the progress of the project towards it targets.

The diagram transforms traditional construction management practices into a system that can be presented to the team and upper management with logic relationships, which will greatly aid in improved efficiency. At last a case study was provided that describes how the integrated construction management work logic diagram was developed to support project recovery for the Shanghai theme park project.
