Project configuration by means of network theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to determine an appropriate sequence to develop the components of a project management plan. Some newcomers to project management become overwhelmed due to the complex relations within these components. Network theory is a widely used tool in fields with complex relations within entities, but it has not yet been applied to configure a project management plan. Although our approach is compatible with any project management standard, the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is an excellent example to illustrate how to apply this methodology due to the complex interdependence among its processes. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

The effect of supply network configuration on occurring chaotic behavior in the retailer’s inventory
ToToday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. In this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. Chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. For chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...
متن کاملSolving the tandem AGV network design problem using tabu search: Cases of maximum workload and workload balance with fixed and non-fixed number of loops
A tandem AGV configuration connects all cells of a manufacturing area by means of non-overlapping, sin-gle-vehicle closed loops. Each loop has at least one additional P/D station, provided as an interface between adjacent loops. This study describes the development of three tabu search algorithms for the design of tandem AGV systems. The first algorithm was developed based on the basic definiti...

One of the ways of reducing active power losses in the distribution networks is using the network reconfiguration for different load levels. Since the number of possible configuration of a distribution network is usually very much and then review of all of them (especially in the network of large-scale) to finding the optimal configuration is not possible simply, therefore in this paper a new a...
متن کاملA New Architecture Based on Artificial Neural Network and PSO Algorithm for Estimating Software Development Effort
Software project management has always faced challenges that have often had a great impact on the outcome of projects in future. For this, Managers of software projects always seek solutions against challenges. The implementation of unguaranteed approaches or mere personal experiences by managers does not necessarily suffice for solving the problems. Therefore, the management area of software p...
متن کاملUncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1
In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...
