Fuzzy Logic-Based Method for Forecasting Project Final Cost
Authors: Adel Alshibani; Badr Eddin Hafez; M. Hassanain; A. Mohammed; Mohammed M. Al-Osta; Ashraf A. Bahraq
Year: 2024

Forecasting the final cost of construction projects during the construction phases is challenging, particularly for long-duration projects, due to the rise in uncertainties associated with future cost performance index values after report dates and the impact of many factors on cost performance. Current practices, along with existing methods and models, often assume that the cost performance index (CPI) achieved at the report date will continue as is for the remaining work and they fail to assess the risk of cost overruns. This assumption may not be true, as in many cases, the cost performance may change due to the impact of many factors. Thus, this paper aims to introduce a new multi-method fuzzy-based forecasting model to forecast the project’s final cost and to circumvent the limitations and setbacks of the used models and methods. It integrates earned value concepts with expert judgment using fuzzy logic to address the limitations of current practice in forecasting a project’s final cost during construction. Factors influencing future cost performance were identified through conducting in-depth literature reviews and expert interviews. The identified factors were then weighed using the relative importance index and pairwise comparisons. The top five most important factors are labor productivity, rework percentage, manpower availability, subcontractor management, and project plan controllability. These factors were then utilized to define the uncertainty associated with the future cost performance according to a project management team’s experience, using fuzzy numbers for forecasting the project’s final cost. Validation with real construction projects showed that the model provides more accurate predictions of completion costs through straightforward calculations. The model has been implemented in a computer application that is integrated with commercial scheduling software (P6 Professional).
Investigation of the Factors that Influence Team Performance in Project Management: The Case of Habib Bank Limited
Authors: S. Sidra; S. Wagan
Year: 2024


 The financial industry is facing increasing competition and the need for information construction, with Project management being a key factor in success. Challenges include increasing team conflicts, lack of communication, and weak team cohesion, leading to internal turmoil and decreased project performance. To improve Project team performance, domestic commercial banks, examples such as Habib Bank Limited, are highly valuable. This paper proposes a research model based on previous theories and results on team conflict management, focusing on how conflict management methods affect team communication and cohesion, ultimately affecting team performance. The study collected data through electronic questionnaires and used SmartPLS software to evaluate the model’s reliability, validity, common method bias, and multicollinearity. The results showed that Cooperative Conflict Management can improve Project team performance, while competitive conflict management weakens it. Team cohesion mediates between cooperative conflict management and performance, and team communication mediates between cooperative conflict management and performance. The study concludes that improving the bank’s Project team performance in project management is necessary.

Confronting an identity crisis—How to “brand” systems engineering
Authors: M. Emes; Alan Smith; D. Cowper
Year: 2005

Systems Engineering is not a new discipline; the term has been in use since World War II. Yet, while there has been no shortage of definitions of the term over the years (not all of which are consistent), there is little consensus on the scope of Systems Engineering. This is particularly true in relation to other overlapping disciplines such as System Dynamics, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Project Management, Soft Systems Methodology, Specialist Engineering, and Control Theory, which share many of the origins and techniques of Systems Engineering. This paper presents a landscape of disciplines and suggests that INCOSE should “brand” Systems Engineering strategically, defining explicitly its position within this landscape including its points of parity (overlaps) and points of difference with other disciplines. Actively branding Systems Engineering will broaden its appeal and attract more interest from stakeholders outside the current Systems Engineering community. INCOSE's “market share” relative to its biggest systems competitor—Project Management—is falling, so even though INCOSE membership is rising, more needs to be done to promote the profession. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Year: 2020

Project management efficiency and effectiveness has profound implications on any organization’s ability to meet its customer’s demands, its reputation, and its overall financial success. Project critical success factors present the single biggest opportunity for operational efficiency in any organization; therefore, their adoption is paramount in project management. The purpose of the study was to examine influence of cost metrics management on project performance in NGO’s in Kenya with an aim of making recommendations on proper use. To achieve this, the researcher reviewed both theoretical and empirical literature and proposed the research methodology that addressed the gaps identified in literature as well as answer the stipulated research questions. The study employed a descriptive research design, targeting the 168 project managers. The 2018 NGO coordination board directory had a listing of all the 168 NGO’s spread all over the country . As a rule of thumb if the total population is less than 200, census is used. The researcher preferred this method because it allowed an in-depth study of the subject. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Quantitative data was analyzed using regression analysis. The qualitative data generated was analyzed by use of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). The response rate of the study was 71%. The findings of the study indicated that cost metrics management has a positive relationship with project performance in NGO’s in Kenya. Finally, the study recommended that NGO’s should embrace c ost metrics management so as to ascertain the realistic capacity of projects handlers and ensure that there is consistency in reducing cost to improve project performance and further researches should to be carried out in other institutions to find out if the same results can be obtained.

Authors: Adam Aruldewan S.Muthuveeran; M. A. Hassan; Izuandi Yin; S. B. Abd Karim
Year: 2023

Malaysia landscape architecture projects frequently face several difficulties that expose
their projects to a high degree of challenges. These challenges will become project issues that eventually affect the achievement of the project objectives. Understanding the factors of project objective underachievement is essential for project practitioners to manage and control their projects in the future. Thus, this study aims to investigate factors to project objectives underachievement in the Malaysian landscape architecture project. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with twenty-four landscape architect practitioners from Klang Valley. The interview information was analysed using the content and thematic analysis method.
The snowball effect from project challenges to project issues and stakeholders’ factors causes underachievement of the landscape architecture project objective. Managing the project affects the organisation’s operational and cultural objectives directly, whereas the project outcome issues indirectly jeopardise the achievement of the project’s business objectives. The finding will be a lesson learnt for project practitioners to evaluate their current project management practice and recommend issue and stakeholder management applications, enabling the achievement of
project objectives.
Time-Cost Tradeoff Analysis in Project Management: An Ant System Approach
Authors: H. Mokhtari; R. Kazemzadeh; A. Salmasnia
Year: 2011

The time-cost tradeoff problem (TCTP) is an important issue in the scheduling of industrial projects; it is often possible to expedite the completion of certain activities by increasing the budget. This paper develops a new approach for the discrete TCTP (DTCTP) in program evaluation and review technique networks of project management, in which activities have multimode discrete cost functions and activity durations are normally distributed. Moreover, the first application of the ant colony system (ACS) is applied to the stochastic DTCTP, solving it as a nonlinear zero-one problem. To illustrate the suggested approach, a numerical example is discussed and an overall efficiency measure is developed to set the ACS parameters so as to reach more accurate results with less computational time. The results obtained from the computational study demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach for the DTCTP.

Project Management theories and Corporate Governance: Towards Effective Management of Small Farming Cooperative Projects
Authors: M. H. Mbulaheni; M. Shipalana
Year: 2024

Project management is defined as the process of applying project knowledge, skills, tools and processes to the established tasks of a project to fulfil the objectives of the project. The planning, execution, controlling, monitoring and closure processes are guided by domains of expertise such as integration, scope, budget, schedule, quality, procurement, communication, human resources, stakeholder management and risk management. This paper sought to analyze theories of project management and corporate governance for effective management of small farming cooperatives. The study adopted a conceptual approach to demonstrate the managerial processes of the theories of project management and corporate governance and how they relate to one another. In the process the literature has revealed that project management is seen by organizations as new methods to plan and manage changes. These planned activities, if not properly coordinated using project management skills, may lead to an unsuccessful project. Project success depends on number of factors ranging from project efficiency, impact on the customer, impact on the project team impact and business or organizational success. The Corporate governance (CG) has been increasingly prevalent in organizations in recent years, and its significance is now acknowledged on a global scale. It has even been adopted by countries where regulations governing the use of CG in organizations have yet to be implemented. The reason for CG's universal appeal is that it serves as the cornerstone of an organization’s operational structure. The article concludes with the relevance of these theories towards effective management of small farming cooperatives.

Objective: To understand the capacity building needs on social organizations providing HIV prevention and treatment services for female sex workers (FSW). Methods: Questionnaires and interview were conducted with the heads of social organizations participating in China AIDS Fund for Non-Governmental Organizations (CAFNGO) project 2017-2018. Data from the CAFNGO's information system were compiled and analyzed using Excel 2016 and SPSS 25.0 software. The distribution of social organizations, availability of funds, and social organizations' needs for capacity building were analyzed. Results: Nationwide, 184 social organizations were involved in project '2017-2018 CAFNGO's FSW field work'. Out of which, 156 answers were valid. Social organizations that participated in the implementation of fund projects were mainly concentrated in the western region, accounting for 44.0% (81/184), with Sichuan, Guangxi, and Yunnan being the majority. However, the eastern part received the most financial support. Social organizations expressed the highest demand for project data collection and analysis, accounting for 68.6% (107/156). Items on risk analysis, response, and quality control project ranked the second, accounting for 64.1% (100/156). Results showed that statistically significant differences were seen on capacity building needs among social organization leaders with different levels of training on management of planning and finance of the project (χ2=5.78,P=0.016;χ2=8.99,P=0.003). Conclusions: Currently, the number of social organizations and the related fund provision concerning HIV prevention and control among FSWs were not consistent in China. Thus, it is necessary to encourage, guide, and support the development of social organizations and satisfy social organizations' needs on capacity-building and planning.
