Forecasting Tendency of the Transmission Line Project Cost Index Using Markov Chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transmission line project cost index, which reflects price changes of transmission line project components affecting project cost, is an integrated indicator. Based on the constitution of the transmission line project cost index, 324 transmission line project cost index during 2002 and 2010 were selected, in order to describe variation tendency of the transmission line project cost index in recent years. The results of Markov chains as a proper model were created for forecasting the transmission line project cost index. The primary contribution of this research is the creation of Markov chain forecasting model that reflects the variation of transmission line project cost index more objective and quickly. It is shown that the method applied to the overall cost evaluation and analysis of factors which influence cost in the estimating stage. It is expected that this work will contribute to the dynamic management of the transmission line project cost index.

Development of Markov Chain Grey Regression Model to Forecast the Annual Natural Gas Consumption
Accurate forecasting of annual gas consumption of the country plays an important role in energy supply strategies and policy making in this area. Markov chain grey regression model is considered to be a superior model for analyzing and forecasting annual gas consumption. This model Markov is a combination of the Markov chain and grey regression models. According to this model, the residual er...

The aim of this study is to present a new method to predict project time and cost under uncertainty. Assuming that what happens in projects implementation which is expressed in the form of Earned Value Management (EVM) indicators is primarily related to the nature of randomness or unreliability, in this study, by using Monte Carlo simulation, and assuming a specific distribution for the time an...

Earned value management (EVM) has prepared some methods to forecast final costs of projects. These methods were not developed since the start of formation and were gradually completed, of course with one exception that is its authenticity, they are still remained unchanged. At the present time EVM guide does not apply from schedule indices to forecast schedule for completion of project and ...
متن کاملUsing Markov Chain to Analyze Production Lines Systems with Layout Constraints
There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...
