Evaluating Stress-Strength Reliability Estimation Technique: A Study on Ranked Set Sampling for the Beta-Lomax Distribution
Authors: Mujtaba Zuhair Ali Abuhedary; H. J. Khamnei; Ali Akbar Heydari
Year: 2025

Reliability, a crucial aspect in engineering and project management, signifies the likelihood of a system or project enduring without malfunction over a specified duration. Typically, the random variable X embodies the lifespan of the system or project. Stress-strength reliability, on the other hand, gauges the assurance that a product or process remains unaffected by stress Y. Extensive literature explores the point estimation and testing of R(t) = P(X > t) (the survival function of the random variable), and P = P(Y < X), delving into methods to enhance reliability assessment. This paper delves into the estimation of R(t) and stress-strength reliability P through ranked set sampling (RSS), assuming independence between stress Y and strength X, both following the Beta-Lomax (BL) distribution. Through rigorous analysis, the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for R(t) and P is derived, subsequently juxtaposed with its simple random sampling (SRS) equivalent to gauge performance. By applying this methodology to real data from Wheaton River, the study underscores the practicality and efficacy of the proposed approach. By offering a comprehensive analysis of reliability and stress-strength reliability estimation utilizing RSS and the BL distribution, this research furnishes valuable insights for practitioners and researchers in the field. The integration of innovative sampling techniques and statistical methodologies not only enhances the precision of estimations but also underscores the importance of robust reliability assessments in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of systems and projects.

Culture and Conflict Resolution in Cross-Cultural Projects: Insights from Questionnaires and Interviews
Authors: Shihong Wang; Junpeng Lyu; Michael Pitt
Year: 2024

As conflict management gained more importance in cross-cultural project management, this paper explores conflicts and conflict resolution strategies in real-world cross-cultural projects, emphasizing the significant influence of cultural differences. Conducting a mixed-method approach that combines questionnaires and interviews, this study identifies various types of conflicts: communication conflicts, cooperation conflicts, value conflicts, status conflicts, and relationship conflicts. Then, this paper classifies conflict resolution strategies according to five conflict management styles: competing, cooperating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. The findings reveal that cultural differences can have dual effects on cross-cultural project dynamics. While they can lead to conflicts and challenges, they also present opportunities for growth and innovation. The results, supported by data from prior studies in cross-cultural projects, demonstrate that understanding and managing these conflicts is crucial for project success. Furthermore, the study's findings are generally valid and potentially transferable across different contexts within project management despite some limitations, such as a smaller sample size and a focus on internal rather than external conflicts. This research contributes to academic knowledge and practical applications, offering insights for improving conflict resolution strategies and enhancing cross-cultural collaboration in project management. Future research could address the identified limitations by expanding the scope of the study and focusing more on external conflicts and specific situational dynamics.
Applying Rhetorical Grease to the Squeaky Dialectics of IS Project Management
Authors: David M. Murungi
Year: 2014

While the importance of establishing effective communication between the multiple and often conflicting stakeholders in a typical IS project is non-controversial and well supported in the IS project management literature, this paper argues that the traditional approach to achieving this goal is limited by its ontological and epistemological view of what constitutes effective discourse. Specifically, this paper asserts that while the prevalent dialectical approach to project management serves as a useful tool to help structure and create homogenous project discourse, it is nevertheless an inadequate a tool for managing the friction produced by the inevitably heterogeneous and conflicting discourses of an IS project. To make its case this paper shares insights developed from a yearlong longitudinal study that examined the role that argumentation played in the implementation of a health information exchange initiative in Southeast USA. The paper applies Toulmin’s dialectical theory of argumentation to illustrate its case and suggests the application of Perelman Olbrechts-Tyteca’s “New Rhetoric” as a more flexible means for managing project discourse.
Open Ways for Time Banking Research: Project Management and Beyond
Authors: L. Valek
Year: 2016

This article aims to point out four possible directions which time banking research is taking or should take with some direct examples included. Previous research is compared with various other sources to produce a document which shows fields that should be more stressed in time banking research. They are: project management, knowledge management, retention of users and sustainability of economy related to time banking. Research methodology is based on various methods used during previous researches, and are discussed with literature. Results show three additional directions for the research in its logical conclusion. They are: necessity for further research in the field, necessity of professionalization of time banks and creation of international support network for cooperation in the field, because in time banking there is no competition. The sense of cooperation is to systemize time banking, raise its credit among stakeholders and ease start up process of newly founded time banks.
Supply chain risk management: A method and tool contributing to the operational aspects
Authors: E. Rokou; K. Kirytopoulos
Year: 2014

The modern supply chains are based on extended organization networks across different businesses and Industries. The uncertainty in these networks becomes a great concern for the management of the chain in a holistic approach. Several studies provide a wide list of risk management strategies and the general strategies for risk management in the supply chain. However, the way that risks should be prioritized, analyzed, treated and followed, is rarely discussed at an operational level. In light of this gap, this paper proposes a simple method supported by a software tool, on how to manage the risks that can lead to the supply chain's disruption at an operational level. The method is `borrowed' by the project management discipline and the way that they manage risks. The main steps of the method cover: a) the identification of the risks related to each echelon of the supply chain, b) the classification of risks c) the analysis and ranking of risks d) the treatment strategies, and e) the follow up of risks. The steps of the method are supported by the proposed software tool.

Authors: P. Taraba; J. Trojan; Veronika Kavkova
Year: 2017

Based on research from Czech and international sources in the field of project management, the main goal of this paper is to compile a set of relevant data, skills and experiences in order to increase the level of the holistic competence of project managers in the Czech Republic. The primary goal will be a compilation of suggestions regarding knowledge systems development based on the elements of holistic competence, e.g. in areas such as the acquisition of information and practical skills as well as familiarization with relevant social maturity skills in the conditions of the Czech Republic. A summarizing analysis will be undertaken of individual levels of knowledge in project management centered on skills in holistic management, general management and strategic management. A comparison of the differences between Czech and international information sources should prove to be another important theoretical contribution. Acquainting International Project Management Association members with information regarding the holistic competence of project managers should be considered not only as a contribution to stakeholders and investors in the private sector, but also to universities and public

A Project–Product Model–Based Approach to Planning Work Breakdown Structures of Complex System Projects
Authors: Amira Sharon; D. Dori
Year: 2015

Project planning practices employ various methods at various stages, with work breakdown structure (WBS) being a prominent starting point. Using WBS, the components and associated enabling products are often not explicitly expressed. We first introduce the notions of generic project construct and system build. Using a running example of a simplified unmanned aerial vehicle, we review the WBS method and discuss problems stemming from the lack of explicit and direct representation of the product facet in the project plan. A comprehensive project-product life cycle management model is the exclusive authoritative source for deriving project management tools, including WBS, augmented with product-related information.
COIL method in economic higher education – the stakeholders’ perspective
Authors: Joanna Błach; Monika Klimontowicz
Year: 2024

COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) is an innovative teaching method that allows students to experience international cooperation and develop intercultural skills using digital technologies. This online teaching method became popular recently based on the experience gained by higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. COIL is an effective and convenient teaching method that provides students with the experience of „internationalisation at home.” The COIL engages students, teachers, and business partners. As those groups have different educational needs and expectations, the question arises as to what extent this teaching method can address those needs. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to identify the main benefits and limitations of the COIL method in economic higher education based on the empirical survey results. The survey was conducted after the successful COIL implementation in 2023/2024 in several courses at the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland. The COIL method was applied in the form of three different models and was organised in cooperation with partners from several European universities. In particular, the COIL method was applied within a course devoted to Digitalisation and Sustainability, aiming at developing projects on business plans for start-ups using innovative technologies to enhance sustainable development. The paper presents the COIL concept, course objectives, and learning outcomes, as well as an assessment of the COIL method from the perspectives of students, teachers, and business experts. The main findings suggest that all students appreciate the advantages of COIL: the possibility to gain international experience, improve communication and intercultural skills, and learn the basics of project management. They also signalled some challenges related to international teamwork. However, teachers, in general, are satisfied with the quality of outcomes of students’ cooperation, although applying the COIL method requires lots of administrative work and developing new skills. Similarly, business partners highly assessed the benefits of the COIL method for students in terms of their future professional careers.

Year: 2020

Software Project Scheduling and Task Assignment are important integral aspects of software project management and contributes to the overall success of software projects. Key objective of Task scheduling/ assignment is to minimize the cost and time of the project. This article i.e. a systematic literature review, is in-fact the first of its kind, conducted in the context of task scheduling and assignment in software industry. This study specifically elaborates the models used in task assignment and summarizes the techniques/ machine learning algorithms to solve the software project scheduling problem (SPSP). Our Initial search brought out 1100 research articles. However, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 most relevant researches were segregated and thereafter thoroughly reviewed. The review revealed that there are 2 types of basic models of Task Scheduling i.e. static and dynamic, however, static models are most widely used. For Task Scheduling, evolutionary algorithms, whereas, for Task Assignment, Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms are most widely used. Due to lack of real-world data in software projects, most of the researches utilized synthetic data sets for Task Assignment. Exploring the Task Assignment tools during the course of review process, 7 tools were identified, however, TAMRI has been graded as most efficient.

Optimizing energy efficiency in data center cooling towers is crucial for reducing operational costs and environmental impact. This review explores the integration of predictive maintenance and project management to achieve this goal. By leveraging predictive maintenance techniques, data center operators can anticipate and address potential issues before they lead to costly downtime or inefficiencies. Project management plays a key role in coordinating these efforts, ensuring that maintenance activities are carried out efficiently and effectively. Predictive maintenance relies on data analytics and machine learning algorithms to monitor the condition of cooling towers in real-time. By analyzing data such as temperature, pressure, and flow rates, these algorithms can detect anomalies and predict potential failures. This proactive approach allows data center operators to schedule maintenance activities during planned downtime, minimizing disruptions to operations. Project management practices, such as Agile or Waterfall methodologies, are essential for coordinating predictive maintenance efforts. Project managers oversee the planning, execution, and monitoring of maintenance activities, ensuring that they are completed on time and within budget. They also facilitate communication between stakeholders, including maintenance teams, data analysts, and management, to ensure that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals. By integrating predictive maintenance with project management, data center operators can achieve significant improvements in energy efficiency. By addressing maintenance issues proactively, operators can reduce energy consumption, extend the lifespan of cooling equipment, and minimize downtime. Additionally, project management practices ensure that these efforts are coordinated and effective, maximizing the benefits of predictive maintenance. In conclusion, optimizing energy efficiency in data center cooling towers requires a holistic approach that combines predictive maintenance and project management. By leveraging predictive maintenance techniques and project management practices, data center operators can achieve significant improvements in energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance environmental sustainability.

Authors: Ali A Abdikani; Caren Ouma
Year: 2024

This paper investigates the influence of budgetary allocation on performance of projects within Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Mogadishu, Somalia. Descriptive research design was used and the target population constituted 78 managers and 390 senior employees in 78 NGOs in Mogadishu. The study adopted a stratified random sampling technique by which a sample size of 216 respondents was chosen using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Data was collected using questionnaire, and both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied in the data analysis process. With regard to the influence of budgetary allocation on project management, the findings showed that employees agreed to a great extent that, proper budgetary control aid the NGOs in decision making, and majority consider budget knowledge as important for success in the workplace, looking at it as a means through which the company has can have a better understanding of budget control techniques. The result also showed that the intercept between budgetary allocation and performance of project becomes better by β = 0.821, p<0.01 confirming that when budgetary allocation is improved by a single unit, the project performance also significantly improves by 82.1%. The study made a conclusion that what cannot be measured therefore cannot be achieved. Projects that are able to generate revenues are likely to be funded through provision of proper budgets that support its operations.  The study recommends that all departments embrace budgeting and effective resource allocation for each function in the organization.

The Performance of Training Executive Agencies in Tanzania: Do Skills and Skill-based Organizational Strategies Matter?
Authors: M. Kamala; Ajali Mustafa
Year: 2024

The performance of training executive agencies in Tanzania is assessed in this study with a focus on the influence of skills and skill-based organizational strategies. The study was conducted in Tanzania, at the Headquarters of the selected Executive Agencies capitalized on the belief that the headquarters hold great deal of information about issues of central importance to the organization. The study used a partially mixed concurrent dominant status approach by combining both quantitative and qualitative aspects altogether within a single study for comprehensiveness. Given the nature of the study's objectives and scope, 263 academic staff from five selected training executive agencies were sampled to fill in the questionnaires where 238 (i.e. 91%) copies of the questionnaire were filled and returned. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected but more attention was placed to the quantitative facet. The study administered structured questionnaires and interview to examine five training EAs: Tanzania Public Service College (TPSC), Agency for Development of Education Management (ADEM), Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA), Livestock Training Agency (LITA), and Fisheries Education and Training Agency (FETA). Regarding the sampling technique, the study adopted the multi-stage sampling design. In the first step, training EAs were divided into two strata (basing on establishment age). From the old aged stratum, three EAs were selected, and two from the newly aged stratum. In the second step, the academic staff from the training executive agencies was sampled purposefully. The cross-sectional explanatory analytical survey was used to collected data once without tracking data changes. While descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data from the questionnaires, thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data. Regarding the skills availability among the Tanzania’s training executive agencies, the findings showed that the majority of the employees possessed the necessary professional, project management, inventive, and interpersonal skills. Few employees possessed pedagogical, technological, and multicultural skills. The findings on the degree of performance of Tanzania's training executive agencies revealed unsatisfactory performance, and it was determined that these agencies had not significantly enhanced the delivery of public services. The findings also showed that training EAs underinvested in skill-based organizational strategies. Notably, when individual competence levels rise, executive agencies' performance is likely to increase. Furthermore, the findings showed that human resource strategies and partnerships were the most important factors in improving the Tanzania’s EAs performance.
