Owing to the complicated cargo conversion processes, it is hard for project managers to design and manage the conversion projects. The most critical characteristics of cargo conversion process management are as follows: A conversion process consists of hundreds of tasks and execution of these tasks is controlled via job cards and regulations. If any procedure violates the regulations, inestimab...

extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. however, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. in this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...

Project Management existing methods lack adequate Information System concepts to support : the global design of the project management information system (PMIS) integrating all preoccupations of project control : time, perfomances, cost and risk. new trends like: knowledge management and capitalisation, strategic decision support systems, integration to the information system of the enterprise ...

The construction industry being solely responsible for economic growth of the nation will base on the government’s fiscal policy and budget the formulation of its own policy plan on how to carry out development within that budget and equally give the nation a healthy developed environment. Besides, the overall aim of cost control and management is to make sure that scarce resources are utilized...

This paper is focused on providing a novel method for measuring the performance of software project managers. It clarifies the fundamental concepts of software project management, knowledge areas, life cycle phases of software project, and performance metrics. It presents some examples of processes and common performance metrics related to knowledge areas of software project management. The res...

naturally all activities are along with risk and uncertainties. project risk has the concept more than the financial concept. in project management, risks are events that can occur during the project implementation and has negative effects on project completion and meeting goals. identification, analysis, prioritizing and having plan for dealing with these events are playing an important role i...

during the implementation, construction projects usually encounter situation that considerably affects the project scheduling and cost. this study aims at using an improved version of the harmony search algorithm (hsa) to schedule resource constrained construction projects. this model is formulated as a global optimization problem. it will determine the duration of each activity to minimize the...

Risk management and success in projects are highly intertwined – better approaches to project risk management tend to increase chances of project success in terms of achieving scope & quality, schedule and cost targets. The process of responding to risk factors during a project’s life cycle is a crucial aspect of risk management referred to as risk response strategies, in this paper. The curren...

A project is any endeavor involving planned action, for example, developing a new product or constructing a dam. [CE1] Major factors for a project to be successful are applying performance measurement and feedback tool. One such well-known performance measurement tool to control the project execution is earned value management (EVM). EVM uses the fundamental principle that trends in the past ca...
