Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Work breakdown structure'

Presenta un modelo que integre las estructuras de descomposición WBS, PBS y CBS aplicadas al campo de edificaciones. Además busca comparar la certidumbre del control de proyectos en la rama de edificaciones al aplicar tantas metodologías tradicionales mediante el uso de las herramientas del WBS, PBS y CBS. Se analizará de manera teórica y práctica considerando bibliografías recientes (con autores relevantes) y cuatro proyectos ubicados en la ciudad de Lima. Para lograr el objetivo planteado se han propuesto 4 metas parciales: Explicar las estructuras de descomposición y su aplicación a proyectos de construcción Verificar en proyectos de edificaciones la importancia de elementos clave para el control de proyectos Analizar y comparar proyectos de edificaciones que aplican metodologías tradicionales y proyectos que desarrollan wbs, pbs y cbs Evaluar alternativas de control para mejorar desempeño de un proyecto La principal limitación identificada para el desarrollo del presente estudio de investigación está relacionada con la falta de registros históricos que demuestren un panorama de contexto local. Los proyectos que se analizarán son edificios de características similares por lo tanto esta investigación no considera la aplicación de esta metodología a otro tipos de proyectos.

Program Managers (PMs) need insight into the high-risk and high-cost elements of their programs to effectively manage them. The Department of Defense (DoD) has adopted several acquisition reform initiatives in order to become a smarter, more efficient, and more responsive buyer of goods and services that meet our warfighter's needs. DoD 5000.2-R Regulation requires PMs to tailor a work breakdown structure (WBS) for each program using the guidance in Military- Handbook-881 (MIL-HDBK-881), "DoD Handbook Work Breakdown Structure". This research concludes that a WBS structured in accordance with MIL-HDB-881 can significantly impede implementation of DoD acquisition reform initiatives. It does not adequately identify the key products and processes essential for program success. An alternate method of constructing a WBS was developed which better identifies and differentiates key products and processes. This research concludes that the alternate WBS has the potential to significantly facilitate implementation of recent DoD acquisition reform initiatives, as well as the potential to provide PMs greater visibility and early identification of cost, schedule, performance, and risk issues using an Earned Value Management System (EVMS).

Research by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) continuously indicate that new venture creation success rate in South Africa is disturbingly low. This situation arises despite numerous support mechanisms in place to encourage citizens to establish their own businesses. This is an indication that current approaches to encourage new venture creation are not working. New approaches must therefore be found. The goal of this study was to combine the processes of project management and entrepreneurship, two seemingly diametrically opposed management philosophies into an integrated process model that will contribute to enhancing the new venture creation process. So, at the heart of this study is the wish to assist prospective entrepreneurs in their new venture creation journey. To achieve this objective, action research design, an emerging approach to qualitative research was adopted. Specifically, the canonical action research was used. Holistically, the study can be described as applied, cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory in nature. Through a series of iterative canonical action research cycles, a model was developed. The results suggest that despite their seemingly diametrically opposed management philosophies, an integrated project management model for new venture creation is achievable.

Omsättningen från projektverksamhet i Sverige uppgår till ca 1000 miljarder kronor per år. Enligt Svenskt projektindex är den genomsnittliga projektmognaden i Sverige 2,56 på en femgradig skala. Om Sveriges genomsnittliga projektmognad i genomsnitt ökade till 3,5 skulle det motsvara besparingar på mer än 100 miljarder kronor per år. Projektledning bör därför ses som en nyckelkompetens för alla företag och organisationer. Det finns idag stor mängd teoretisk kunskap om projektledning, verktyg och projektmodeller. Lösningen på svårigheterna att leverera projekt som uppfyller sina mål i tid och inom budget är sannolikt inte att skapa ännu mer ny teori utan att ställa sig frågan hur befintlig teori och forskning skall tillämpas i de enskilda fallen för att öka organisationens förmåga att driva framgångsrika projekt. Byggbranschen står inför samma utmaningar som övriga inom området projektledning. Samtidigt brottas byggbranschen med en produktivitetsutveckling som är svagare än för industrin i övrigt mätt i förädlingsvärde per arbetad timme. Problemet för det enskilda företaget är hur de ska förhålla sig till de utmaningar som finns idag med låg produktivitet i projekt och förväntade framtida ökningar i komplexitet och förändringshastighet. Vad kan en organisation, utifrån generella teorier och forskning göra för att öka sin projektmognad? Och även om en organisation vet vad de kan göra behöver de ställa sig frågan; av alla tänkbara saker som kan göras, vad bör organisationen prioritera och i vilken ordning bör organisationen genomföra förbättringar i arbetssätt och metoder för att gradvis öka sin förmåga att genomföra framgångsrika projekt? Utgångspunkten i detta examensarbete är undersökningen av ett enskilt företag och de olika handlingsalternativ som finns för företaget att lösa ovanstående problem, baserat på teoretisk vetenskap och företagets speciella förutsättningar. Slutsatsen är att mätning av projektmognad är en effektiv metod för att identifiera och prioritera förbättringsområden hos ett enskilt företag. Studien visar också att det är viktigt att börja metodiskt med grunderna innan ett företag implementerar en projektmodell med förhoppningen att modellen skall lösa företagers utmaningar. Grunden en projektmodell vilar på är konsekvent och systematisk tillämpning av relevanta arbetssätt och metodiker. Grunden behöver vara på plats innan övriga byggstenar läggs till. Denna rapport handlar om ett specifikt företag men det är rapportförfattarens uppfattning att tillvägagångssättet är generaliserbart och därför kan tillämpas även på andra företag som önskar öka sin projektmognad.
Turnover from project related business in Sweden amounts to approximately 1000 billion Swedish kronor per year. According to the Swedish project index, the average project maturity in Sweden is 2.56 measured at a scale of 1-5. Increasing the average project maturity in Sweden to an average of 3.5 corresponds to savings of more than 100 billion kronor per year. Project management should therefore be seen as a key competence for all companies and organizations. There is a great deal of theoretical knowledge today about project management, tools and project models. The solution to the difficulties in delivering projects that meet their goals is probably not to create even more new theory. The question should be how to apply existing theory and research to increase a specific organization's ability to drive successful projects. The construction industry faces the same challenges as others in the field of project management. At the same time, the construction industry is struggling with a productivity trend that is weaker than for the industry measured in value added per hour worked. Based on the challenges described above, the problem for the individual company is how they will adapt to the challenges today with low productivity in projects and future increase in complexity and increased rate of change. What can an organization do, based on theory and research to increase their project maturity? And given that the organization knows what they can do they then need to ask the question; of all possible things that can be done, what should the organization prioritize and in what order should the organization make improvements in methods and ways of working to gradually increase their ability to carry out successful projects? The starting point for this report project is the investigation of a specific company and the various options available for solving the above problems, based on project management theory, science and the specific conditions that characterize the organization. The conclusion is that measuring project maturity is an effective method for identifying and prioritizing improvement areas of a company. The study also shows that it is important to start in a structured way with applying the basics before a company implements a project model, hoping that the model will solve business challenges. The foundation on which the project model stands is the consistent and systematic application of the relevant working methods and methodologies. The foundation needs be in place before laying the other building blocks in place. Although this report analyzes what a specific company can do, the authors´s view is that the approach and the conclusions are generic enough to be applicable for other companies that want to increase their project maturity.

A Lean Construction (Construção Enxuta) é uma filosofia de construção que busca reduzir os recursos necessários para a produção e a otimização dos processos produtivos. O crescimento da Construção Civil, a escassez de mão de obra e equipamentos e a necessidade de programação dos materiais com antecedência, são razões que encorajam a busca de um modelo de planejamento que possibilite a leitura das informações do plano estratégico ao operacional. O objetivo é demonstrar que um modelo de planejamento elaborado com ações e técnicas de planejamento orientadas pelo Last Planner (planejamento final) contribui na implantação da Lean Construction. Deste modo, fora realizado um estudo de caso comprovando que utilizando técnicas de planejamento existentes em um modelo de planejamento podem resultar na redução de tempo, mão de obra e custo, quando aplicadas as técnicas de maneira associada e respeitando uma sequência na execução do planejamento. A pesquisa aqui exposta foi realizada através de um método de pesquisa teóricoexploratória buscando criar um modelo de planejamento que estabeleça uma visão clara da hierarquização do planejamento nos diferentes níveis gerenciais contribuindo para um aumento da eficiência do sistema de planejamento, uma vez que o setor tem adaptado conceitos, métodos e técnicas dos ambientes industriais que por diferir o contexto da atividade com o que deu origem a técnica acaba produzindo um sistema inadequado e de baixa eficácia. O modelo de planejamento formado através de uma EAP (Estrutura Analítica de Partição do Projeto), organizada em pacotes de trabalho e ordenada pela sequência executiva da obra, conforme recomenda o Last Planner, permite a identificação das atividades de transformação e as de fluxo, possibilitando a aplicação de sistemas enxutos de produção. Utilizando para a realização de um Sistema de Planejamento uma mesma EAP do processo de orçamentação ao planejamento da obra, as informações flutuam do operacional ao estratégico permitindo que em tempo real obtenha-se o fluxo de caixa da obra, a programação dos recursos e as curvas “S” de acompanhamento físico e financeiro. Através do acompanhamento da obra e da retroalimentação do planejamento, estas curvas “S” e as programações dos recursos seriam alteradas, conforme o andamento da obra, através de um único processo sistêmico, a retroalimentação do andamento da obra no físico planejado.
The Lean Construction (Lightweight Construction) is a construction philosophy that seeks to reduce the resources needed for the production and the optimization of production processes. The growth of the construction industry, the shortage of manpower and equipment and the need for programming of materials in advance, are reasons that encourage the search for a planning model that allows the reading of the strategic operational plan information. The goal is to demonstrate that a planning model developed with actions and targeted planning techniques by the Last Planner (planning) contribute in the implementation of Lean Construction. With pre supposed that these techniques, when applied, can result in the reduction of time, labour and cost. The search here was exposed through a theoretical and exploratory research method seeking to create a planning model that establishes a clear view of the hierarchy of different levels of management in planning contributes to increased efficiency of the planning system, since the sector has adapted concepts, methods and techniques of industrial environments that differ from the context of the activity that gave rise to the technique just producing a system inadequate and low effectiveness. The planning model formed through a WBS (work breakdown structure project partition), organised in work packages and ordered by the Executive of the sequence, as recommended by the Last Planner, allows the identification of processing activities and workflow, enabling the application of lean production systems. Using a planning System the same EAP budgeting process to work planning, information float from strategic to operational allowing real time get the cash flow of the work, the scheduling of resources and "S" curves of physical and financial monitoring. Through monitoring of the work and the feedback loop of planning, these "S" curves and resource schedules would be altered, depending on the progress of the work, through a single systemic process, the feedback loop of the progress of the work on the physical plan.

The competitive pressure which is in the construction market, the increasing demands of investors and unstable economic and political situation. These are factors which force construction companies to more efficient management and preparation of contracts. The aim of this thesis is to describe the theory for contract management and also in the concrete company and design documentation for the preparation of contract "Multipurpose buildings" in Mníšek pod Brdy with the help of project management methods.

The thesis proposes an effective project management （PM）to integrate the different work items in building construction. The application of PM can complete all the work item of construction in the same area within a limited duration. The work scope and its executive duration are integrated into the PM plan which is distributed to the members. Therefore, every PM member, no metter when he joins this project organizstion, clearly knows his own duty and when the duty needs to be finished. The interface between the different construction item can be handled efficiently by using work breakdown structure （WBS）and time management. The PM members will also know the related construction interface so they can prepare the associated meterial. Furthermore, the sofeware of Microsofe Project and critical path method （CPM）are used in the study to arrange the construction items. The interior decorated work can be incorporated into the Grant chart to promote the work efficiency.

“A robust set of estimates puts a project on a firm footing from day 1, allowing the project manager to apply the right level of resources at the appropriate time. If the plan has been based on poor estimates, problems will occur during the execution of the project …” This statement places great importance on the ability to estimate costs as accurately as practicable early during a project life cycle. Many techniques have been proposed with the aim of aiding with the production of early cost estimates,which have acceptable accuracies necessary for Feasibility Study purposes. One such technique is Parametric Cost Estimating for developing Parametric Cost Models used in producing these conceptual estimates.At the heart of Parametric Cost Estimating Technique, is a fundamental statistical technique commonly known as Linear Regression Analysis.The problem that the research addresses is that of the general misconception found to prevail within project houses that some engineering systems are too complex to model using the Parametric Cost Estimating Technique. The objectives of this research are to investigate and demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique in predicting the costs of a system for Feasibility Study purposes. The objectives were achieved by conducting a secondary literature review of case studies of similar Parametric Cost Models that were developed by others for engineering systems of varying complexities. A second method used in achieving the objectives included formulating a case study in which a Parametric Cost Model was developed to illustrate the concept and to prove that the accuracies produced by the model meet the requirements for Feasibility Studies.The research was limited to initial project costs required for Feasibility Studies,ignoring the effects of qualitative factors,focusing only on the acquisition costs and not the total life cycle costs of the system.The case study was developed for a passenger motor vehicle as the system of interest because sufficient cost data in the form of vehicle retail price and performance specifications is publicly available in car magazines making it possible to build a meaningful Parametric Cost Model. The Parametric Cost Model was developed using Microsoft Excel 2007 and had a Mean Absolute Error Rate of 10.9% and the range of accuracy obtained, -20% to 10% with 67% confidence level and -30% to 30% with 95% confidence level, conforming to a Class 4 estimate which meets the accuracy requirements for a Feasibility Study.

This article is mainly focused on application of WBS to the planning budget management for the R&D projects of government organization－defense technology R&D department. Over the years, project management has shown an extraordinary effect on the execution of many large-scale projects in the world. The initiative of dividing a work into the very basic elements, proposed by Dr. Frederick Winslow Taylor the founding father of science management, has developed into one of the most important approaches for modern project management, which is called WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). In 1988, the Department of Defense of the United States further applied the WBS to a wide range of significant armaments production management and established operation standards accordingly. This study adopts the “Case Study “ and “Expert Interview” approaches to look into the results of the application of planning WBS to the project management of government organization-defense technology R&D department and recommend potential solutions as well. Research results are summarized as following: 1. The application of WBS to the budget management and cost accumulation for the R&D projects of government organization－defense technology R&D department cannot truly reflect the real status and is not as reasonable as expected due to budget perform methods and character factors etc. But on the cost accumulation field of WBS to the project management has shown a good results. 2. The government organization－defense technology R&D department application of WBS lacks an auditing mechanism to evaluate the performance of project management due to affect by government budget system on actual situation. Therefore, a parallel and reasonable cost performance auditing mechanism should be established. For example, to establish an EVMS in order to achieve better efficiency for project management. 3. The government organization－defense technology R&D department application of WBS/OBS/CBS to the project management, the accounting procedure shall be transform temperately. For example, transfer of government budget (sub-unit budget) to fund operation budget (affiliated Sub-unit budget) can produce better efficiency for the application of WBS in project management. Key words: Project management, Work Breakdown Structure, Planning budget, Performance evaluation.

This thesis is focused on the evaluation of project management in chosen company,especially projects in the field of aviation. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the project management system in the organization and to suggest possible changes, which will help to improve the prosperity and continuity of the business. In the theoretical part, the author studied the available literature on the basis of which is written a literature review. The practical part describes the system of project management in the organizations. At the beginning there is described the chosen company furthermore individual phases of the project lifecycle, responsibilities of the various participants in the project, needed resources, budget of the project, communication between the participants and used software. Afterwards were described the greatest problems with project management in the company and were suggest possible changes to improve.

The CubeSat designation was developed in 1999 at Stanford University and the California Polytech State University to facilitate the participation of students in academic satellite projects. Nowadays CubeSats are a common reality, facing an increasing of projects and well succeed deployments, which made some authors consider the possibility of replace and renew the existing constellations of bigger satellites for this type of small, low-cost satellites, maintaining or increasing their actual capabilities for a similar price. The University of Beira Interior and its students pretends to create an entire CubeSat, which would be capable to test the Radio Frequency Blackout during re-entry on Earth atmosphere had arisen, to support a numerical model already in development and testing at University of Beira Interior. The purpose of this dissertation is to implement Project Management methodologies, focusing on planning, schedule, documentation and data, and risk management, on a CubeSat project developed in cooperation with University and industry. Project management was implemented after the project kick-off, being necessary to organise the work already done. The first step was the elaboration of a schedule for the tasks (already done and further work), a preliminary risk management, and the essential documentation management to allow the proper monitoring of the project from the team and external entities.
Em 1999, na Universidade de Stanford em cooperação com a California Polytech State University, desenvolveu o conceito de CubeSat para facilitar a participação de estudantes em projetos académicos espaciais. Atualmente os CubeSats são cada vez mais comuns, com um aumento do número de projetos e lançamentos bem-sucedidos cada vez maior, havendo já quem defenda a possibilidade de utilizar este tipo de satélites pequenos, “low-cost” para a substituição e renovação de constelações de satélites maiores, mantendo ou aumentando as capacidades atuais, com um custo similar. A Universidade da Beira Interior e os seus alunos pretendem desenvolver um CubeSat capaz de testar os efeitos do plasma no fenómeno de “blackout” durante a reentrada na atmosfera terrestre de um objeto, numa tentativa de validar um modelo numérico que já se encontra em estudo e desenvolvimento na Universidade. O propósito desta dissertação é a implementação de metodologias de gestão de projeto, focada na gestão do planeamento, da cronologia, da documentação e do risco, de um projeto de CubeSat desenvolvido em cooperação com a indústria. A introdução de uma metodologia foi implementada com o projeto já em desenvolvimento, o que dificultou a tarefa de gestão do projeto, sendo necessário começar por gerir todo o trabalho já realizado. Posto isto, a tarefa inicial foi a elaboração de um cronograma visando as tarefas já realizadas e a realizar no futuro, seguindo-se um levantamento preliminar dos riscos inerentes ao projeto, bem como a gestão documental necessária para que se torne possível um acompanhamento do projeto a membros exteriores à equipa de trabalho.
