Project delay and cost overrun are major issues caused by the associated Risk Factors (RFs) in any projects including Oil Gas Pipeline Projects (OGPPs). This problem is exacerbated subjective nature of identification quantification factors t at planning stage. To overcome above issues, this research designs a Delay Analysis Model (DAM) stage project introducing fuzzy logic analysis; hence, syst...

recent studies have indicated that the rate of successful enterprise resource planning (erp) implementation projects is reduced and risk of implementation is increased to the same extent. accordingly, this study provides a model in support of erp implementation using system dynamics approach by behavioral simulation in the vensim software environment. this study is an applied research and due t...

Obtaining a viable schedule baseline that meets all project constraints is one of the main issues for managers. The literature on this topic focuses mainly methods to obtain schedules meet resource restrictions and, more recently, financial limitations. provide different same project, and solutions with shortest duration are considered best-known project. However, no tools currently select whic...

The ability to foresee hazards early plays a critical role in estimating the entire cost of project. Although several studies have established models predict total project at conceptual stage, there remains research vacuum measuring overall risk this stage. Using artificial neural networks, provides strategy for residential projects There are eight important components suggested paradigm. model...

By optimizing its outsourcing strategy, a company faces the opportunity to lower the overall costs of its IT project portfolio. Without considering risk and diversification effects appropriately, companies make wrong decisions about how much of a project is reasonable to outsource. In this paper, we elaborate a model to identify a project’s optimal degree of outsourcing at a fixed price, consid...

The increasing size and complexity of acquisition development projects in both the public private sectors have begun to exceed capabilities traditional management techniques control them. With every new technological or engineering feat, human endeavours inevitably increase their ambition. This trend has led an explosion sophistication by government industry develop acquire technology-based sys...
