The goal of this article is to survey the relevant literature on project scheduling with possible activity failures from a number of different disciplines, and to distill from these sources the formulation of a general optimization problem, the further study of which we would like to foster...

Romanian Project Excellence Award competition has already four years as history. The paper presents the main results of this awards, the theoretical basis of the excellence model used for the assessement and the practicies in the model implementation in Romania.

Using metrics and indicators for the evaluation of the IT projects management have the advantage of providing rigorous details about the required effort and the boundaries of the IT deliverables. There are some disadvantages, as well, due to the fact the input data contains errors and the value...

The paper presents an e-Learning platform in project management centred on the learner and based on advanced technologies, such as: ontology, competence standards, IMS Standards.

Increasing global competition drives most industries to search for competitive advantages and continuous process improvement. Through a three-year research project we found that the competitive advantage of multi-company projects lies in the ability to make a shift from the competitiveness and...

Project schedule development with CPM cannot handle uncertainty, thus PERT and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) are the most frequently used methods from best-in-class companies. This study compares the results of the standard MCS with those of PERT and addresses the incorporation of project risk...

This paper presents a complete quantitative model to estimate the potential benefits of simulation-based projects over the conventional approach. In the semiconductor industry, technology computer-aided design has shown a great potential for rapid and cost-effective development of advanced...

It is generally accepted that the three major dimensions of project success are time, budget, and quality. Most of the research in project planning is focused on the time-cost trade-off, and only a few papers have considered the three dimensions together. This paper describes the evolution of...

Cost and schedule deviation from the estimated baseline are common in construction projects and have a negative effect on construction activity, which is a substantial portion of the GDP in most countries. Previous research studies examined the causes of deviation in several countries including...
