A note on‘‘A case study approach for developing a project performance evaluation system”

The major aim of this research is benchmarking Honeywell Federal Manufacturing &Technologies projects using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique and to compare the results with that of published recently in Qing Cao, James J. Hoffman Qing Cao, James J. Hoffman. (2011). A case study approach for developing a project performance evaluation system. International Journal of Project Management, Vol. 29, 155–164]. Data for 20 projects at Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies used to conduct the analysis of relative efficiency. My findings indicate that (1) the efficiency of Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies reported in in Qing Cao, James J. Hoffman (2011) is incorrect, hence, readers should take extra caution of using such results, (2) the corrected efficiency scores suggest that there is potential for significant improvements in Honeywell Federal Manufacturing &Technologies.
