Risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. In this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.Then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy FMEA a...

A generic risk matrix is presented for use identifying and assessing project risks quickly and cost effectively. It assists project managers with few resources to perform project risk analysis. The generic risk matrix (GRM) contains a broad set of risks that are categorized and ranked according to their potential impact and probability of occurrence. The matrix assists PMs in quickly identifyin...

uncertainties in industrial environments can cause considerable complexities, during the implementation and management of projects. so, performing a risk management model in such environments has become inevitable. in such circumstances, many risk management models have been introduced in literature, which majorities of them are general, while some of them are developed to be applied to specifi...

Software estimation provides an important tool for project planning; whose quality and accuracy greatly affect the success of a project. There are several area of the software engineering in which we can use the function point analysis like project planning, project construction, software implementation etc. In software development, accuracy and efficiency of cost estimation methodology for a w...

This paper documents )1( the early phases of using systems Engineering to develop a conceptual system – the system being developed is a systems engineering body of knowledge )SEBoK( and )2( the findings and opportunities generated in those early phases. The approach was based on identifying activities specific to systems engineering, as opposed to the broad raft of activities that systems engin...

Project management is a business process for successfully delivering one-of-a kind products and services under real-world time and resource constraints. Developing a project plan, a crucial element of project management, is a difficult task that requires significant experience and expertise. Interestingly, artificial intelligence researchers have developed both mixed-initiative and automated hi...

Safety risk management has a considerable effect on disproportionate injury rate of construction industry, project cost and both labor and public morale. On the other hand time-cost optimization (TCO) may earn a big profit for project stakeholders. This paper has addressed these issues to present a multi-objective optimization model to simultaneously optimize total time, total cost and overall ...

on time supply of materials in construction projects is very important. therefore, coordinating a project with key suppliers, while ensuring the timely supply of materials, make the minimum costs of project. one way to create this coordination is integrated inventory planning which has been accomplished in this study. it is necessary to mention that such a model is considered np_hard in terms o...
