Cp - Dss : Decision Support System for Contractor Prequalification

COVER SHEET Ng , Thomas and Skitmore

The paper describes a prototype decision support/expert system for contractor prequalification, CP-DSS. The system firstly evaluates contractors' capabilities according to the project specific criteria. It then identifies any risk that may be caused by contractors. Finally, contractors are appraised according to their likely performance, management capability, reputation, resources, progress, c...

An AHP model for construction contractor prequalification

Given that contractor plays a critical role in any construction project, contractor selection constitutes key decision for public authorities. Prequalification, i.e. the elimination of incompetent contractors from the bidding process according to a predetermined set of criteria, is a frequently practiced procedure in many countries, including Greece.

A Fuzzy Neural Network Approach for Contractor Prequalification

Nonlinearity, uncertainty and subjectivity are the three predominant characteristics of contractors prequalification which cause the process more of an art than a scientific evaluation. A fuzzy neural network (FNN) model, amalgamating both the fuzzy set and neural network theories, has been developed aiming to improve the objectiveness of contractor prequalification. Through the FNN theory, the...
