Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Management
  • Statistics

S. Thomas Ng mainly investigates Operations research, Procurement, Process, Project management and Construction management. His Operations research study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Regression analysis, Duration and Decision-making. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transport engineering, Upstream, Actuarial science, Selection and Case-based reasoning in addition to Procurement.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Public participation, Stakeholder, Public relations and Questionnaire. His work in Project management tackles topics such as Process management which are related to areas like Descriptive statistics, Performance indicator and Management process. His work carried out in the field of Construction management brings together such families of science as Total cost, Genetic algorithm, Optimization problem and Decision support system.

His most cited work include:

  • Problematic issues associated with project partnering — the contractor perspective (198 citations)
  • Applying a Genetic Algorithm-Based Multiobjective Approach for Time-Cost Optimization (196 citations)
  • A framework for evaluating the safety performance of construction contractors (118 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Process management, Process, Operations research, Procurement and Operations management are his primary areas of study. S. Thomas Ng usually deals with Process management and limits it to topics linked to Knowledge management and Government. His research on Process frequently links to adjacent areas such as Reliability.

His Operations research research incorporates themes from Decision support system, Project management and Fuzzy logic. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Construction management and Project management. S. Thomas Ng frequently studies issues relating to Questionnaire and Operations management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Process management (17.19%)
  • Process (14.58%)
  • Operations research (13.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Interdependence (4.69%)
  • Resilience (4.17%)
  • Sustainable development (4.69%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

S. Thomas Ng mainly focuses on Interdependence, Resilience, Sustainable development, Risk analysis and Process management. S. Thomas Ng has researched Interdependence in several fields, including Data-driven and Environmental economics. His Environmental economics research focuses on Order and how it connects with Stakeholder.

The concepts of his Process management study are interwoven with issues in Procurement and Business model. His research in Procurement intersects with topics in Business case, Delphi method, Strategic planning and Construction management. His research integrates issues of Government, Service and Knowledge management in his study of China.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Influence of waste materials on buildings’ life cycle environmental impacts: Adopting resource recovery principle (34 citations)
  • A physics-based framework for analyzing the resilience of interdependent civil infrastructure systems: A climatic extreme event case in Hong Kong (18 citations)
  • Circular economy and the construction industry: Existing trends, challenges and prospective framework for sustainable construction (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Management
  • Statistics

S. Thomas Ng mostly deals with Life-cycle assessment, Resilience, Risk analysis, Interdependence and Environmental economics. His Resilience research includes elements of Ranking, Process and Component. His Risk analysis research incorporates elements of Road transport, Decision-making and Decision analysis.

His Interdependence study combines topics in areas such as Procurement, Variables, Integrated project delivery, Construction management and Critical success factor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Unit, Decision matrix, Sustainable supply chain and Scope in addition to Environmental economics. In his research on the topic of Supply chain, Process management is strongly related with Business model.
