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...

recent studies have indicated that the rate of successful enterprise resource planning (erp) implementation projects is reduced and risk of implementation is increased to the same extent. accordingly, this study provides a model in support of erp implementation using system dynamics approach by behavioral simulation in the vensim software environment. this study is an applied research and due t...

Global economy is undergoing a recession phase that had made competition tougher and imposed new business framework. Businesses have to shift from the classical management approaches to an Intelligent Project Based Organization Model (IPBOM) that provides flexibility and agility. IPBOM is intended to reinforce the proven advantages of Project Based Organization (PBO) by the use of suitable Ente...

Smooth implementation and controlling conflicting goals of a project with the usage of all related resources through organization is inherently a complex task to management. At the same time deterministic models are never efficient in practical project management (PM) decision problems because the related parameters are frequently fuzzy in nature. The project execution time is a major concern o...

Traditional industries (e.g., aerospace and pharmaceuticals) that once organized their activities into functional hierarchies are evolving toward project-based forms of organization in which teams of specialists from both inside and outside the firm report to project managers. Emerging industries (e.g., biotechnology and information technology) are also adopting project-based forms of organizat...

During the past two decades, some industries have been moving towards project-centered systems in many modern countries. Therefore, managing simultaneous projects with considering the limitations in resources, equipment and manpower is very crucial. In the real world, project-based organizations are always facing with two main important features. First, the construction projects are decentraliz...

For many cases, grading and prioritizing the projects are so important in project-based organizations. In fact, it means prioritizing some projects and allocating organizational resource only to those projects to reach the organization profit up to maximum level through such allocation and decision. There are many different factors contribute in choosing the best project combination for organiz...
