delay in implementation and delivery of projects of general contractors working in oil, gas and petrochemical projects, together with their law profits, are the main reasons for writing this paper. it has been tried in t6he article to present an actual and applied method of decision making to determine strategic goals, strategic planning and its relation with the standards of project management...

Today, the duration factor in a software project is as critical as it is strategic, since even a slight delay can lead to missing a market opportunity or to generating significant losses. This paper presents two industry case studies on the use of an estimation model using, as input parameters, fuzzy sets of data proposed by practitioners estimating various project attributes.

In practice, organizations work in general on more than one project which share some or all the available resources. In this work hybrid heuristics that combine Random Sampling heuristics and Backward-Forward methods are developed for the Resource-Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem (RCMPSP). This heuristic approach has been successfully applied to resource-constrained single project s...

background: the purpose of this study was to compare patient delay, diagnosis delay and treatment delay in breast cancer patients of selected public and private health centers in tehran, iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, female patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer in a public medical complex and a private breast clinic within one year were included. patient delay was consider...

Existing approaches to risk management in construction procurement primarily dwell on strategies designed for commonly identifiable risk factors in typical project environments. Commonly identifiable risk factors would include too early or late material delivery a condition typically ameliorated by implementing a Just In Time (JIT) plan; inferior construction materials typically mitigated by em...

This meta-analysis has examined the past ten years’ studies concerning causes of construction project delay. It aims to update subject area and investigate critical delay in three different conditions external environment. The data from 50 have been analyzed synthesized determine top Relative Importance Index (RII) technique was applied rank causes; subsequently, Spearman’s correlation coeffici...
