It is probable that a construction project anywhere in the world will encounter some form of delay as a consequence of change. The impact of the delay on a project will vary, but it is likely to have a negative financial outcome. Compensation can be requested by an affected party in the form of a claim; however, issues of liability and quantum can be difficult given the ever increasing complexi...

projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. an integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (ga) and simulated annealing (sa), are presented to solve the problem. results of cal...

Success or failure of a software project mainly depends on the management capability of the project manager. Therefore, EVA (Earned Value Analysis) is gaining much attention recently as a method of managing a project in an integrated fashion by introducing a unified metric called EV (Earned Value) and quantitatively measuring and analyzing the cost and schedule of a project. Project managers ca...

Delays are one of the biggest problems faced by the construction industry. Delays in construction projects have significant financial and social impact to parties involved in the projects. The main objective of this study is to explore the causes of delay in the Vale Malaysia Minerals Project (VMMP) in Lumut, Perak. This study was conducted by using a qualitative approach. A series of face to f...

Delay time modelling (DTM) is the process to establish the mathematical model based on the delay time concept and then to use it for improving plant maintenance management. The delay time model can be divided into a single component model (component-tracking model) or a complex system model (pooled-components model). DTM has been proved to be a methodology readily embraced by engineers for mode...

The construction industry has employed various schedule analysis techniques to support delay claims. Paradoxically, resourcerelated issues are frequently ignored even though they can affect project completion time, too. The research presented here shows that delay analysis without resource allocation practice substantially affects results of schedule analysis. Some delay can cause unrealistic r...

When forced with increasing greenhouse gases, global climate models project a delay in the phase and a reduction in the amplitude of the seasonal cycle of surface temperature, expressed as later minimum and maximum annual temperatures and greater warming in winter than in summer. Most of the global mean changes come from the high latitudes, especially over the ocean. All 24 Coupled Model Interc...

The aim of this paper is to present the design and specifications an integrated Delay Analysis Framework (DAF), which could be used quantify delay caused by Risk Factors (RFs) in Oil Gas Pipelines (OGPs) projects a simple systematic way. main inputs DAF are (i) potential list RFs their impact levels on estimated maximum minimum duration each task. Monte Carlo Simulation within @Risk simulator w...
