Optimizing Cash-Flow-at-Risk in Construction Projects: A Cost Reduction Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Project managers normally are facing with difficulties behind management of project cash flow, which requires distinguished methods and appropriate tools to manage negative cash flows. Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) model is an efficient approach to predict cash flow trend. In this study, all risk factors affecting project management environment have incorporated to predict an accurate project cash flow. Then, a response surface method (RSM) is applied to determine optimal level of risk. The results have successfully implemented through a case study to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.

متن کاملCash Flow Analysis of Construction Projects
Construction projects are complex and risky. According to the literature, even profitable construction companies can fail due to poor cash flow. In order to survive in this rapidly changing environment, effective cash flow management is essential. Many unforeseen factors affect a construction project’s cash flow. The objective of the research presented in this paper is to examine the impact of ...
