Thank you for the response. I see.. Bt the way, what is sylos, anyway?Functional is only related to the area like a sort of sylos, while process approach is cross functional. For example, consider the part of supplier mgmt , cost and so on, not directly managed by function but where the"function" is account for, but done by other contributors to the process.
I got it, thank you for the clear explanationWelcome to the Cove.
1. I don't think these terms have any special meaning in Construction Management. Rather, they are general management terms whose meaning can be different if used in different situations.
2. If used to describe the structure of organizations, people perform specialized functions such as accounting, sales or machining within units termed departments.
3. As an example, the tendering or bidding process is a trans-departmental activity which involves people from various departments or function such as purchasing, costing and estimation, engineering and perhaps logistics (all dependent on the complexity and size of project).
I hope it is clear enough.
Thank you for the response. I see.. By the way, what is silos, anyway?
Thanks a lot for the explanation. It helps me a lotSometimes in the literature there is written that the organization works with "silos" and not for "process" . This is a big issue for quality , not being followed process approach.
Silos is a long construction where it is contained the grain. It is a synonymous to say that each function works for itself, not included in a process.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. It helps me a lot
