Authors: S. Kramskyі; O. Zakharchenko
Year: 2022

In addition to the pandemic, the Covid-19 crisis and war Russia in Ukraine has dealt a devastating blow to the world economy and maritime companies, have suffered the most. The development of water transport infrastructure is a necessary factor in increasing the competitiveness of ports and the efficiency of sea and river transport. In addition, the development of technology and the activities of international organizations (such as the IMO) lead to higher requirements for the safety of navigation, which also affects the requirements for infrastructure. And since the transport sector is always connected with the general development of productive forces, it is considered as one of the most important components of the infrastructure of the economy as a whole. Water transport infrastructure is subject not only to "moral" aging, but also to natural "wear and tear", to a greater extent than in other modes of transport. This is due to the "aggressiveness" of the aquatic environment and natural processes (eg, siltation of the bottom). Infrastructure development should be carried out through a sequence of projects and / or development programs aimed at each stage to achieve a certain level of infrastructure characteristics. Thus, the development of infrastructure should be "following" the required level of its condition, based on the interests of the state at different levels and in different aspects. It should be noted that sea and river transportation is carried out as part of delivery using at least two modes of transport. That is, sea, river transportation involves the delivery of goods to / from the port, for example, by intermodals: air, rail or road. The ratio of life cycles of infrastructure objects and corresponding infrastructure projects is analyzed. The analysis of the modern theoretical base of infrastructure projects management is performed, the problem of substantiation of parameters of products of infrastructure projects is singled out.

Authors: Wibke Kusturica; C. Laroque; Deike Gliem; J. Stolipin; S. Wenzel
Year: 2018

Customized engineering and the build-up of unique products are complex tasks, where project management contains lots of uncertainties. Simulation techniques could help to evaluate and achieve improved and more robust plans during project management, but are typically not applied in industry, especially at SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises). This paper covers some ideas of the joint research project SimCast of the Universities of Kassel and the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau. It aims at the development of a method for duration estimation of a project task during project planning. Based on the researched state-of-the-art, requirements and a planning process are described as well as a draft of the current technical infrastructure of the intended modular prototype. First plug-ins are implemented and already show possible benefits for the project management process. The paper describes possible scenarios for the use of simulation techniques in this setting, based on gained experience.
A Survey of Activity Network‐Based Process Models for Managing Product Development Projects
Authors: Tyson R. Browning; Ranga V. Ramasesh
Year: 2007

Given the crucial role of process modeling in product development (PD) project management research and practice, and the variety of models proposed in the literature, a survey of the PD process modeling literature is timely and valuable. In this work, we focus on the activity network‐based process models that support PD project management and present a comprehensive survey of the literature published in the last decade. To organize our survey, we use a framework based on the purposes of PD process models: project visualization, project planning, project control, and project development. For each purpose, we provide an overview of the relevant models, highlight their key assumptions and findings, synthesize key insights, and illuminate avenues for further research. Although the survey reveals many insights and opportunities, five major areas for future study became apparent: activity interactions, global process improvements, process models as an organizing structure for knowledge management, modeling in cases of uncertainty and ambiguity, and determining the optimum amount of process prescription and structure for an innovative project.
A Mathematical Model for Optimizing NPV and Greenhouse Gases for Construction Projects Under Carbon Emissions Constraints
Authors: Altaf Hussain; Qazi Salman Khalid; Mohammed Alkahtani; Aqib Mashood Khan
Year: 2024

Traditionally, projects have been scheduled with a primary focus on optimizing economic bene-fits, often at the expense of environmental considerations. However, in today’s context, there is an increasing societal demand for organizations to incorporate sustainability practices into their project management policies. This research aims to address this pressing issue by developing a comprehensive mathematical model that takes into account two crucial objectives: project net present value (NPV) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This model introduces carbon emission constraints on a per-period basis, alongside the usual precedence and resource constraints. the problem represented by this model is proven to be NP-hard, which adds complexity to its solution. To tackle this challenge, two multi-objective metaheuristic algorithms, specifically the Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer (MGWO) and the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2), have been employed to solve the model. Extensive comparative analyses of these me-ta heuristics across various multi-objective performance measures indicate that MGWO consistently outperforms SPEA2 in most scenarios. To illustrate the practical applicability of the pro-posed model, a real-world case study has been utilized. The results of this case study offer compelling insights, showing that project NPV can be significantly improved with only a marginal increase in GHG emissions. This finding highlights the model’s potential to provide pragmatic solutions and valuable trade-off options for project planners and practitioners striving to balance economic objectives with environmental sustainability.

This study examines the relationship between strategic leadership and project management sustainability in Enugu, Nigeria, with a particular focus on construction projects in the State. The study aimed to achieve two specific objectives: first, to determine the relationship between visionary project coordination and resource efficiency of construction projects in Enugu State, Nigeria; and second, to establish the relationship between innovative thinking and waste reduction in construction projects in Enugu State, Nigeria. The study employed descriptive research design, collecting primary data with a structured questionnaire from forty-five registered Architectural firms in the study area. The data collected were analyzed using Spearman Rank Order Correlation due to the nonparametric nature of the data. The results show that visionary project coordination had a significant positive effect on resource efficiency in construction projects by Architecture firms in Enugu State, Nigeria (r = .849; p<.001), and innovative thinking had significant effect on waste reduction in construction projects by Architecture firms in Enugu State, Nigeria (r = .849; p<.001). It was concluded that strategic leadership had significant effect on project management sustainability, and it was thus recommended that project managers should anticipate, prepare and clearly communicate present and future developments to project staff to ensure that the goal of sustainable initiatives such as recycling and reuse are implemented in construction projects.

Multi-Objective Optimization of Construction Schedule Based on Artificial Intelligence Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Wei Yin
Year: 2021

With the continuous improvement of construction engineering design level and construction technology, the construction scale of engineering projects is also getting larger and larger. Aiming at the problem that the equilibrium degree of resource allocation in the construction phase of the project has an increasingly obvious impact on the cost, the dynamic programming method is adopted to establish a dynamic programming model for resource allocation. Taking the uncertain factors into consideration, three comprehensive optimization models are established using the method of fuzzy single objective linear programming. The optimized target values are all within the given upper and lower limits. The result is in line with the reality of optimization of construction management of construction engineering, and better coordinated the goals. The variance of the optimized resource intensity is smaller than that of the initial resource intensity, and the maximum earthwork intensity of the first tender has dropped by 16.27%. The artificial intelligence optimization algorithm has certain theoretical and practical application value to solve the optimization problem of construction project management.

Authors: Guilherme Sperandio dos Santos; Renato Balancieri; G. C. Leal; E. Huzita; Edwin Cardoza
Year: 2014

The Distributed Software Development (DSD) has been increasingly adopted for providing advantages over traditional software development. But this approach presents some challenges such as communication difficulties, cultural differences among the involved and low proximity among developers. This paper presents a set of performance measures for management through five perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes and, learning and growth, based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC).The fifth perspective, geographical dispersion, has been proposed as an extension of the BSC System for DSD projects. The performance perspectives aim measure and to support the decision making process of stakeholders through metrics related to the attributes of quality, productivity, cost, time and geographic dispersion, fundamental in the software project management. So, the performance measures are a mechanism to evaluate the return on financial investment, the satisfaction of customers and employees, the performance of processes running on the DSD, the continuous improvement of the organization and the success of the geographical dispersion.
EXPLORING TEAM COHESION IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Cojoacă (ALNIȚI) Denisa Maria
Year: 2024

Project management represents an essential area of research with a significant impact on society and the economy. This paper aims to critically analyze the scientific literature on team cohesion and its influence on project outcomes. We employ a qualitative approach based on secondary sources to identify and evaluate critical factors such as knowledge exchange, trust, and team cohesion and to examine how these contribute to project success. The novelty of our work lies in its interdisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from organizational psychology and project management to investigate the dynamics of team cohesion and its impact on project performance. Within this article, we critically analyzed team cohesion through the lens of individual team member competencies first, leadership styles second, and the relationship between them third. Our results indicate that integrating team cohesion into project dynamics maximizes operational efficiency and enhances resilience and adaptability against unexpected challenges. Managers who adopt specific leadership approaches (e.g., transformational and transactional) are identified as crucial factors in creating and maintaining project team cohesion. Furthermore, the article emphasizes that integrating team cohesion into management practices contributes not only to project success but also to its sustainability. Managers can develop effective strategies and interventions to enhance collaboration and outcomes within project teams by profoundly understanding the relationship between team cohesion and project performance.

Many areas have emerged that specifically seek to plan and manage projects in educational institutions to create and achieve their established strategic planning objectives. This study sought to identify criteria for sustainably implementing Project Management Offices (PMOs) in Federal Institutions of Higher Education (FIHE). Actions were established related to: (a) identifying Brazilian FIHEs that have implemented PMOs; (b) surveying the macro steps used at these institutions for implementing PMOs, and the software and methodologies they used to do this; c) listing the main PMO attributions implemented at the FIHEs, and finally (d) assessing what these institutions think are the best PMO practices to sustainably replicate and implement PMOs at other institutions. We identified FIHEs that had implemented PMOs, along with the best practices and lessons learned that impacted sustainable growth for future PMOs using a survey. We also presented the main steps used by some institutions to structure the implementation and consolidate PMOs within institutional environments. The results contribute to reducing the knowledge gap on implementing PMOs in FIHEs and can direct further research in this area.

Authors: Felicia Wagiri; Shen-Guan Shih; Kevin Harsono; Tsung-Wei Cheng; Mu-Kuan Lu
Year: 2023

In the evolving Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Cloud Service (IPCS) has become crucial. These tools are particularly essential during the early design stages, as they enable comprehensive management and integration of project information, thus promoting effective decision-making throughout project lifecycles. This combined approach enhances inter-organizational collaborations, improves design and construction practices, and creates a communal data platform for stakeholders. This research explores the effectiveness of the BIM-IPCS system in streamlining data exchange and information flow during early design, suggesting ways to minimize errors, speed up processes, and reduce construction costs through dependable networks. Conclusively, this study underscores the significant impact of the BIM-IPCS system on project management, ensuring well-coordinated and informed construction while advocating for its role in driving innovative and efficient project delivery in the AEC industry.
Humanizing User Influence Tactics in the Quest to Reduce Resistance against IT Project Management Methodology Use
Authors: K. Mohan; F. Ahlemann; Anol Bhattacherjee
Year: 2012

Despite the benefits of using an IT project management methodology, only a handful of organizations are actually able to make their staff use such methodologies. Hence, organizational managers must identify and apply user influence tactics (UIT), to ensure adequate and appropriate use of these methodologies within their organizations. In order to understand the complex nature of UITs and their effects on employees, we use needs theory and develop and test a conceptual model based on a pre-test sample of 65 participants to address the following issues: 1) the need for an abstract taxonomy of UITs to group together similar tactics so as to reduce complexity as well as increase generalizability and results comparability, and 2) the need to examine innate desires of the employee, since the likelihood that a specific UIT will be effective in motivating an individual to use a methodology depends upon the characteristics of the potential adopter as well as that of the methodology.
Towards Equitable Agile Research and Development of AI and Robotics
Authors: Andrew Hundt; Julia Schuller; Severin Kacianka
Year: 2024

Machine Learning (ML) and 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') methods tend to replicate and amplify existing biases and prejudices, as do Robots with AI. For example, robots with facial recognition have failed to identify Black Women as human, while others have categorized people, such as Black Men, as criminals based on appearance alone. A 'culture of modularity' means harms are perceived as 'out of scope', or someone else's responsibility, throughout employment positions in the 'AI supply chain'. Incidents are routine enough (incidentdatabase.ai lists over 2000 examples) to indicate that few organizations are capable of completely respecting peoples' rights; meeting claimed equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI or DEI) goals; or recognizing and then addressing such failures in their organizations and artifacts. We propose a framework for adapting widely practiced Research and Development (R&D) project management methodologies to build organizational equity capabilities and better integrate known evidence-based best practices. We describe how project teams can organize and operationalize the most promising practices, skill sets, organizational cultures, and methods to detect and address rights-based fairness, equity, accountability, and ethical problems as early as possible when they are often less harmful and easier to mitigate; then monitor for unforeseen incidents to adaptively and constructively address them. Our primary example adapts an Agile development process based on Scrum, one of the most widely adopted approaches to organizing R&D teams. We also discuss limitations of our proposed framework and future research directions.
Integrated Approach for Project Risk Assessment and Evaluation Under Risk Interactions
Authors: Lei Wang; Chen Qian; M. Goh
Year: 2022

The risks found in project management have a spatio-temporal effect and can interact with each other. Such interactions can be presented as a risk interaction network (RIN), with the nodes as the risks and the edges as the interaction. This article devises a twofold process to assess the RIN, namely, 1) a three-step procedure for the division, weight elicitation, and aggregation to assess the edges, and 2) a two-step procedure comprising the node classification and weight elicitation to qualify the nodes. The RIN evaluation takes the assessed RIN as the input, including an index accommodating the project manager's level of risk-aversion and a simulation-based network model for computing the index. A graphical user interface is developed to highlight the data collection and processing. An international construction project is provided to validate the proposed approach of RIN assessment and evaluation. The results inform that the proposed index provides more accurate information for risk analysis.
