Abstract:

Two existing techniques are integrated and a methodology for evaluating transportation projects, especially complex projects that involve new technologies, is created. While integrating the multiattribute value function technique with the analytic hierarchy process, a new scaling approach is introduced through use of a linear scaling proxy. Additionally, the approach identifies an overall worth for a project. This overall worth provides decision makers with a quantitative value they can use to compare different projects or to estimate and compare hypothetical results. The methodology is demons

Abstract:

Successful implementation of build-operate-transfer (BOT), infrastructure projects is dependent on a full and thorough analysis of factors that include social, economic and political, amongst others. Alongside the financially focused evaluations, qualitative factors will also have a strong impact on the project and so require specific techniques for the analysis. This paper presents a new evaluation framework, based on the analytical hierarchy process technique, for use in assessing the most common and significant decision factors relating to risks in BOT projects.

The management of logistics projects is a well known part of management science. But until now, purely quantitative and hard project management techniques like the critical path method and the project evaluation and review technique have been dominant.

The few attempts to use case-based reasoning (CBR) for project management failed up until now because of the difficulties when identifying those projects which contain useful, especially qualitative knowledge for the current logistics project.

AbstractMuch research in the construction industry is based on the concept of a unique project; hence, such concepts (or philosophy) present the construction project as a unit of analysis for the entire completion process that is usually delivered independently. Most decision support tools in construction have been designed at the project level rather than for construction institutions that often implement many projects simultaneously. Typically, these projects have common objectives that create dependencies among them. Then, the success of one project depends on other projects and the existin

Most construction activities are carried out with heavy machinery. In the process of construction, energy is directly consumed by using construction machinery. Energy consumption of construction machinery can vary according to the scale, the deterioration of machinery, the difficulty of operating machinery, the ability of construction personnel to work, and the working condition. An approach for construction managers to assess the effect of these factors on the energy consumption is rarely deployed.

With decisions being made by taking account of information from various sources, the operation and management of modern engineering projects has to deal with increasing amounts of dynamic and changing project information. Understanding and interpreting this information for use in process management can generate challenges in practice. This might be caused by constraints of tim

Abstract:

Sustainable building projects have levels of complexity over conventional building projects that challenge current project management tools at efficiently managing the rigors of sustainable projects. The Continuous Value Enhancement Process (CVEP) is a recently developed tool designed specifically for sustainable building projects. This project management tool enables project teams to systematically generate and evaluate project alternatives for meeting sustainable goals. The goal of this tool is to identify high performance solutions that increase levels of sustainability and improve project

Abstract:

Multilingual and multimodal data analysis is the emerging news feed evaluation system. News feed analysis and evaluations are interrelated processes, which are useful in understanding the news factors. The news feed evaluation system can be implemented for single or multilingual language models. Classification techniques used on multilingual news analysis require deep layered learning techniques rather than conventional approaches. In this proposed work, a hierarchical structure of deep learning algorithms is implemented for making an effective complex news evaluation system. Deep learning tec

Abstract:

The scheduling of activities over time has gained increasing attention with the development of the critical path method (CPM) and the program evaluation and review technique (PERT). Since then, a large amount of solution procedures for a wide range of problem types have been proposed in the literature. Many of these procedures, however, are not able to solve real-life problems. In this paper we describe a capacity expansion project at a water production center (WPC) of the Vlaamse Maatschappij voor Watervoorziening (VMW) in Belgium. This project aims at expanding the production capacity of pur

Abstract:

Extant literature suggests that organizations struggle with risk evaluation as part of their project portfolio selection. The lack of intentional intervention on the part of portfolio leadership, risk management processes, and practices executed by individual projects may not support optimal risk management at the portfolio level. As a result, portfolio managers are tasked with the identification of common risks and opportunities across projects and are required to respond with strategies that are beyond the scope of a project manager's authority. To address the problem, this study identifies
