Full textIntroduction: A trend for organisations to change from single to multiple project management has been observed over the last couple of decades. Organizations shifted their focus from single project management towards the simultaneous management of the whole set of projects as one entity – project portfolio. New multi-project settings require a new management approach and practices to successfully manage a portfolio. A common practice in organizations is to evaluate projects after they had been carried out. At that point not much can be done and it is impossible to improve performance and prevent failure. Hence, problems that occur in projects’ implementation phase remain unsolved and even unidentified. Constant control, review and monitoring of projects’ performance in the implementation phase could lead to the problematic portfolio areas being spotted and timely management decisions being made in order to improve the overall portfolio performance.
Problem: How do organisations manage projects within a portfolio that perform poorly in the implementation phase?
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is: to describe to what extent and in what ways organizations control, review and monitor project performances in the implementation phase; to identify if organisations use any methods, tools or techniques in order to spot projects that perform poorly according to their expectations; and to discover what happens to the poorly performing projects in the implementation phase after they were identified.
Method: An electronic qualitative questionnaire had been constructed and sent out to the 46 sampled Swedish companies currently running project portfolios. 115 most suitable respondents had been chosen to answer the survey.
Frame of Reference: Theoretical framework is built on the literature within project portfolio management field, mostly concerning control, review and monitoring of projects of projects’ performance within their implementation phase; practices used to manage poorly performing projects as well as the value of organizational learning.
Conclusion: The research results show that even though majority of the studied organizations are aware and striving towards efficient project portfolio control, review and monitoring, a lot of space for improvement still remains. Results reveal that organizations are trying to keep track of projects’ performance within a portfolio, however, very few poorly performing are identified. Moreover, the management practices for underperforming projects are still very limited if not non-existent.

Full textO presente trabalho final de mestrado analisou empreitadas de construção civil para efeitos de habitação própria. Procurou-se analisar a importância e viabilidade do uso de uma metodologia de gestão de projetos ajustada aos empreendimentos de construção civil. Para além disso, também foram objetivos deste trabalho selecionar as ferramentas de controlo de projetos a implementar e tentar perceber o impacto que a falta da implementação de processos de gestão de projetos podem acarretar ao promotor/ investidor. Dos três casos de estudo apresentados, um foi executado com recurso a administração direta por parte do investidor e os outros dois com fiscalização, controlados a partir de diferentes fases do Ciclo de Vida do empreendimento, utilizando como referência a metodologia elaborada por Faria (1995) (adota procedimentos bem definidos em cada uma das fases do Ciclo de Vida de um empreendimento de construção civil, que por sua vez é baseada na abordagem proposta pelo Project Management Institute).
This research project analyses construction contracts for private housing. The objective of this study is to assess the significance and feasibility of using a project management methodology adjusted to construction projects. Moreover, it aims to select the adequate control tools to implement with such projects and tries to understand the impact the lack of implementation of project management processes can have on the promoter / investor. Of the three case studies presented, one was executed in direct administration by the investor and the other two with surveillance, controlled from different stages of the life cycle of the enterprise. This study used as reference the methodology proposed by Faria (1995) adopting well-defined procedures for each phase of the life cycle of construction projects, based on the methodology proposed by the Project Management Institute.

Full textProject evaluation is concerned with indicators setting and performance tracking along the life of a project. It plays an essential role to the success of any project and therefore demands special attention. At the heart of this process lies a system of criteria one has to take into account when performing the evaluation. Our thesis considers this problem in a particular context, namely New Service Development (NSD) projects. The topic is of our interest because innovation (hence NSD) has become an inherent aspect of service industry while the research dedicated to NSD project evaluation is rather limited. Our thesis aims at understanding the purposes, the process of evaluating NSD projects and pointing out specific criteria included during the evaluation of NSD projects. As a result, the research question pursuing is: ‘What are key Evaluation Criteria for New Service Development projects?’ From the literature review on project evaluation and new service development, our study reveals a list of eight important criteria of evaluation. This consists of three financial criteria: (1) profitability, (2) production cost, (3) return on investment; and five non-financial criteria: (4) strategic fit, (5) marketing criteria, (6) corporate social responsibilities, (7) information quality, and (8) facilitating factors. From empirical perspective, qualitative approach is applied to collect data through three case studies and a series of semi-structured interviews with seventeen respondents in Albania, Italy, Sweden and Vietnam, from companies offering various types of service. The case studies build comprehensive understanding on the process of new service development, of project evaluation for NSD whereas interviews check the transferability of the three cases and identify evaluation criteria employed in practice. The empirical results were analyzed in comparison with the arguments found from literature. Regarding the research question, the study found that the set of evaluation criteria collected from empirical study fits with the list of eight criteria proposed by literature. Among this set, two main criteria ‘strategic fit’ (4) and ‘customer satisfaction’ which is apart of ‘marketing criteria’ (5) are recommended as ‘must’ for the evaluation process on any type of NSD project. Findings of this research contribute to the existing knowledge provided by both academic and practitioners regarding both project management field and new service development area, by suggesting a set of key criteria that should be used as guidance in order to succeed with evaluation of NSD projects.

Full textChange management in project is a new and specialized management discipline that have been studied a little in the world, particularly in our country. The subject of research of this discipline is managing of a complex scientific, technical, civil engineering, energy, financial and organizational projects that are realized in the surrounding liable to the influence of a big and fast changes. The centre of work is directed towards the defining of concept of change management, that can be the result of the surrounding influence or the changes of the project during its realization. The basic aim of project management is an effective project realization in the planned time and expences in the conditions of important external and internal changes. Change management on the project means defining of such organizational form that provides timely observation and classification of relevat change that can appear in the project, applying the avaible methods and resource in the realization of the basic project aims. The causes of project changes appears from the disbalance between the project and surrounding or disbalance in the project itself. Change project management have been done through the processes of planning, introducting and control. The unique model for change management in project is presented in the paper that can be applied with a little changes in realization of any other project. The individuality office work is prezented in the description of changes that are under way or that can appear during the reconstruction of the power plant system in Serbia.

Full textAn integral part of a novel sub-sea natural gas dehydration project is the need to design and develop a communications, monitor and control system that is extremely reliable within a harsh marine environment. The off shore gas gathering and processing facility will be unmanned, therefore the entire ongoing operation of the sub-sea facility, and any sea surface equipment, will be dependent on the proper functioning of the communication system. System redundancy and low power consumption are also important issues.
The continuous bi-directional transmission of information between the field and shore-based control centres, together with the complexity of any maintenance / repair missions requires an extremely highly reliable system. The prospect of false alarms must be maintained at an absolute minimum.
Within this thesis the history and development of ocean based communications up to current state-of-the art technology is reviewed. Based on the unique and demanding requirements of the sub-sea gas processing facility, detailed recommendations are made for both a primary and back-up communication systems that meet the given criteria of being robust and having very low power requirements.

Full textThe monitoring systems that are currently used as part of the management of construction projects consist of collecting the field information, documenting it manually and then digitizing it. Those responsible for carrying out the reports through this procedure dedicate between 28% and 41% of their time daily for their preparation. This traditional process is slow and inefficient because the information is dispersed in different documents, so data can be omitted, causing that no corrective actions are taken in a timely manner. Likewise, the construction sector has little use of technological resources, and therefore, there is no automated process, which makes it difficult to monitor construction projects in an efficient way. In this sense, this research establishes the optimization of the control procedure through the use of a data acquisition tool to reduce the man-hours used in advance control. With the application of this proposal, the hours spent by the personnel involved in project management were reduced by 30%.

A realização de projetos pelas organizações é uma prática amplamente utilizada para obter resultados diferenciados. No entanto, a insatisfação com os resultados obtidos não é uma exceção. Entre os fatores que influenciam o desempenho dos projetos está a execução eficiente e eficaz dos processos relacionados ao monitoramento e controle do projeto. O uso de Tecnologias da Informação Móveis e Sem fio (TIMS) podem contribuir na execução de processos nos quais os trabalhadores possuem características de mobilidade. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar de que formas a utilização de TIMS nos processos de monitoramento e controle do projeto afeta o desempenho do mesmo. A metodologia empregada para alcançar esse objetivo foi baseada na realização de uma etapa exploratória, na qual se entrevistou gerentes de projetos para compreender melhor o fenômeno. Com base nas percepções dos entrevistados e na revisão teórica sobre gestão de projetos e TIMS foi proposto um modelo conceitual que demonstra a relação entre o grau de utilização de TIMS nos processos de monitoramento e controle do projeto e o desempenho dos projetos. Uma survey foi realizada com gerentes de projetos para verificação empírica do modelo, tendo ao final uma amostra de 223 respondentes. Como técnica estatística utilizou-se a Partial Least Squares(PLS). Nos testes de validação do modelo foi necessário retirar o constructo dependência da localização. Na análise dos resultados observou-se que a relação entre a criticidade do tempo e o uso de TIMS não possui, no contexto da pesquisa, significância estatística. Por outro lado, o constructo mobilidade possui uma relação estatisticamente significativa com o uso de TIMS. Da mesma forma, o uso de TIMS nos processos de monitoramento e controle do projeto possui relação significativa estatisticamente com o desempenho de projeto. Os resultados obtidos indicam uma relação positiva entre o uso de TIMS nos processos de monitoramento e controle e o desempenho do projeto, especialmente em relação ao cumprimento do prazo. Como limitações da pesquisa destaque-se a forma de medição da mobilidade do gerente de projetos e a verificação do uso de TIMS apenas nos processos de monitoramento e controle dos projetos. Sugere-se para futuras pesquisas o aprimoramento da forma de medir a mobilidade dos gerentes de projetos e a inclusão da análise do uso de TIMS em outros processos relacionados ao gerenciamento de projetos que podem afetar o desempenho dos projetos.
ABSTRACT The development of projects by organizations is a widely used practice to get different results. However, dissatisfaction with the results obtained is not an exception. Among the factors influencing project performance is the efficient and effective implementation of processes related to monitoring and controlling the project. The use of mobile technologies can contribute to the execution of processes in which workers have mobility characteristics. The objective of this study is to investigate ways that the use of mobile technologies in project monitoring and controlling processes affects project performance. The methodology used to achieve this objective was based on the realization of an exploratory stage in which we interviewed project managers to better understand the phenomenon. A conceptual model that demonstrates the relationship between the degree of use of mobile technologies in the project monitoring and controlling processes and projects performance was proposed. It was based on respondents' perceptions and theoretical review of project management and mobile technologies. A survey was conducted with project managers for empirical verification of the model. At the end of the survey sample consisted of 223 respondents. We used the statistical technique of Partial Least Squares (PLS). During validation of the model it was necessary to remove the construct dependence on location. The analysis of the results showed that the relation between the critical time and the use of mobile technologies is not of statistical significance in the context of research. Moreover, the mobility construct has a statistically significant relationship with the use of mobile technologies. Likewise, the use of mobile technologies in project monitoring and controlling processes has statistically significant relationship with project performance. The results indicate a positive relationship between the use of TIMS in project monitoring and controlling processes and project performance, particularly with respect to time. We highlighted the limitations of the survey method of measuring the mobility of the project manager and the verification of the use of mobile technologies just in project monitoring and control processes. We suggest for future research the improvement of the method of measuring the mobility of project managers and the inclusion of the analysis of the use of mobile technologies in other processes related to project management that may affect project performance.

Fig. 1 Picture of the two detector sets The data acquisition system has been programmed in NI LabVIEW. The software is an advanced X/Y-coordinate counting system, which can additionally preform functions as save data to file and 3D-plot to determine the spreading of the bremsstrahlung luminosity. The results can be saved and transferred online to a server so that is possible to access the data from anywhere. 
* Fig. 2 ADC spectrum for one of the fiber detectors, shows that MIP can be detected The system has been tested using beta rays from 90Sr source. The results of the test is shown in Fig.2 It is clearly shown that the detectors can detect minimum ionizing particle, i.e. electrons and positrons. Due to the electron accelerator trouble, unfortunately, it was not possible during my stay to carry out the measurement of bremsstrahlung. The results of the 90Sr source test, however, clearly shows that my position monitoring system is now completely ready for use. 
Fig. 3 Data from tests on the detector sets with 90Sr beta source, the source has been placed with center at position 3 for both detector sets 3. Conclusions The detector and software testings shows that the system is ready to use for luminosity measurements at SCRIT experiment. This system I constructed surely provides a new and useful information for the SCRIT experiments.

Full textInformation is power; when we know something, it is hard to ignore. The foundation of this thesis is to create awareness about the inadequacy of the existing project control and management system (PCMS). There is a need for rapid improvements in PCMS, and proposed actual improvements in PCMS are put forward here. Patty and Denton said, “If there is anything to be learned from the history of work-process innovation, it is that any system of principles and methods will experience a life cycle. In other words, as processes mature, innovation is required to facilitate survival, let alone growth in sales of any product or service” (Patty and Denton 2010). The PCMS for capital project delivery in the engineering procurement construction (EPC) industry is in the same situation; it has completed its cycle and is in need of innovation. This thesis describes: “What Is”, the current state of Project Control and Management System (PCMS); “What Should Be”, the practices of PCMS: and “How to Close the Gap”. The advancements in PCMS are based on concepts which are process derived from Lean concepts and principles already applied in other industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, and ship building, where they have exhibited tremendous benefits. A new classification of PCMS is explained based on its characteristics and objectives. Two models are proposed to enhance the PCMS and make it a Lean PCMS. A “Real Time Visual Control Flow System Model” is proposed to enhance the existing flow system beyond advanced work packaging and the last planner system, by incorporating aligned breakdown structure, pull planning and control, real-time control, visual control, critical chain project management, making and keeping commitments. Our “Lean PCMS” model is proposed to enhance the whole system of PCMS and achieve the desired state of excellence for PCMS. The intention of this research is to make the current PCMS a Lean PCMS and to shift the reactive approach of project controls to a more proactive approach. A case study, “How to Close the Gap”, using Kaizen methodology (only the Kaizen appraisal stage, in real settings) in a large EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company, is described.

Full textUnder sommaren produceras överbliven energi från solvärmare, denna tas inte omhand utan går oftast till spillo. Projektets grund bygger på att ta den överblivna energin under de varmaste månaderna på sommaren och spara undan energin i borrhål i marken, för att sedan under kallare månader kunna använda detta. Syftet med projektet har varit att bygga en prototyp för styrning och övervakning av ett system. Med detta projekt vill vi visa en lösning på en prototyp som kan fungera som utvecklingsplattform för beställaren. Kommunikation mellan aktuatorer, sensorer och styrenhet görs via en CAN-buss. Temperaturensorernas använder sig av en One-wire buss och dess värden sparas och kan avläsas på en webbplats. Resultatet visar att övervakning av sensordata och reglering av aktuatorer fungerar. Teoretiskt sett är prototypen utformad för att expanderas till en verklig applikation.

Full textPersistent monitoring tasks arise when agents must monitor a dynamically changing environment which cannot be fully covered by a stationary team of available agents. It differs from traditional coverage tasks due to the perpetual need to cover a changing environment, i.e., all areas of the mission space must be visited infinitely often. This dissertation presents an optimal control framework for persistent monitoring problems where the objective is to control the movement of multiple cooperating agents to minimize an uncertainty metric in a given mission space. In an one-dimensional mission space, it is shown that the optimal solution is for each agent to move at maximal speed from one switching point to the next, possibly waiting some time at each point before reversing its direction. Thus, the solution is reduced to a simpler parametric optimization problem: determining a sequence of switching locations and associated waiting times at these switching points for each agent. This amounts to a hybrid system which is analyzed using Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) , to obtain a complete on-line solution through a gradient-based algorithm. IPA is a method used to provide unbiased gradient estimates of performance metrics with respect to various controllable parameters in Discrete Event Systems (DES) as well as in Hybrid Systems (HS). It is also shown that the solution is robust with respect to the uncertainty model used, i.e., IPA provides an unbiased estimate of the gradient without any detailed knowledge of how uncertainty affects the mission space. In a two-dimensional mission space, such simple solutions can no longer be derived. An alternative is to optimally assign each agent a linear trajectory, motivated by the one dimensional analysis. It is proved, however, that elliptical trajectories outperform linear ones. With this motivation, the dissertation formulates a parametric optimization problem to determine such trajectories. It is again shown that the problem can be solved using IPA to obtain performance gradients on line and obtain a complete and scalable solution. Since the solutions obtained are generally locally optimal, a stochastic comparison algorithm is incorporated for deriving globally optimal elliptical trajectories. The dissertation also approaches the problem by representing an agent trajectory in terms of general function families characterized by a set of parameters to be optimized. The approach is applied to the family of Lissajous functions as well as a Fourier series representation of an agent trajectory. Numerical examples indicate that this scalable approach provides solutions that are near optimal relative to those obtained through a computationally intensive two point boundary value problem (TPBVP) solver. In the end, the problem is tackled using centralized and decentralized Receding Horizon Control (RHC) algorithms, which dynamically determine the control for agents by solving a sequence of optimization problems over a planning horizon and executing them over a shorter action horizon.

Power systems are typically complex and can be affected by their environment in ways that cannot be completely predicted by their designers. It is thus imperative that monitoring is considered as part of the design of new power systems. Due to the associated costs of maintenance, repair, and downtime, monitoring these systems is particularly important when the installations are remote. Remote locations benefit greatly from renewable energy sources. As a result, this work focuses on a novel Hybrid Inverter system developed by Optimal Power Solutions Pty. Ltd. (OPS). This system uses renewable energy sources, grid power, and diesel generators together with a bi-directional inverter to supply a remote location with grid-quality power.

Full textThermal energy produced from solar collectors can be stored in Borehole Thermal Energy Storage, BTES, when demand is low for later usage when demand is high. The aim of this thesis is to develop a scalable system architecture for control and monitoring of a BTES prototype.The BTES prototype consist of 13 boreholes configured in a hierarchically manner in two circles and one core. The core is of the highest priority. The operational information is displayed on a website and stored in a database.The data communication consist of two One-wire buses and one CAN bus. The temperature sensors are connected to the One-Wire buses. The CAN bus consist of sensor/actuator nodes and a server node. Based on sensor data, a control loop configures the actuators. Operational data is stored in a database and visually presented on a website. The website displays an overview of all the boreholes where all of the sensors data can be read. The control algorithm runs successfully according to its hierarchically priorities. The prototype works as a developement platform and a demonstrating prototype.
