one of the important problems in project management is lack of available resources in proper time at project site that leads to lack of project implementation in due date. this problem may be lead to time delay in sending resources from suppliers and related origins in supply chain to project site. therfore, to better resources managmenet and also the improvement of supply chain condition, the ...

technology development projects, unlike many other kinds of projects don’t have pre-defined goals or clear implementation methods at the beginning of the project. among other uncertainties that any project could have, technology development projects have a high degree of uncertainty in the definition of project. for this reason, conventional project management methods such as those provided in ...

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...

in this paper, we consider a stochastic time-cost tradeoff problem (tctp) in pert networks for project management, in which all activities are subjected to a linear cost function and assumed to be exponentially distributed. the aim of this problem is to maximize the project completion probability with a pre-known deadline to a predefined probability such that the required additional cost is min...

Risk management is one of the most influential parts of project management that has a major impact on the success or failure of projects. Due to the increasing use of information technology (IT) systems in all fields and the high failure rate of IT projects in software development and production, it is essential to effectively manage these projects is essential. Therefore, this study is aimed t...

risk management is one of the nine project management processes, which provides positive results and minimizes the probability and consequences of adverse effects in the project.  in this article a zero-one linear programming model with multiple objectives is used to characterize the potential risks. the proposed model has two main objectives. the first objective is the minimization of the expe...

earned value management is a critical project managementmethodology that evaluates project performance from cost andschedule viewpoints. the novel theoretical framework presented in thispaper estimates future performance of project regarding the past relativeinformation. it benefits from fuzzy regression (fr) models in estimationprocess in order to deal with the vagueness and impreciseness ofre...

the issue of successful project management and control is of vital importance in today’s world. although the time and cost of any project is determined in advance, paying less attention to an appropriate control and revision will result in a small chance of reaching those goals. the earned value management method that shows deviation of projects schedules and costs is of the good method for thi...
