Three Phases

In this article practical aspects of using project management in popular restaurants of different countries are considered. Within the framework of this study, the experience of using the Hard Rock Cafe project management tools is highlighted. It is noted that the management of the project in Hard Rock Cafe includes three phases: planning, setting goals, defining the project and organizing the team; drawing up of a calendar schedule of works; control. Considered the project of opening a new restaurant from Pizza Duono (Italy). It stands out that in this restaurant project managers are in sight, they are responsible for: all necessary activities have been completed in the right sequence and on time; the project did not go beyond the budget; the project would meet the quality standards, etc. The study also examined an example of project caching to change the project completion time from the restaurant Pizza Duono (Italy, Rome). According to the methodology of this restaurant, on each of the critical paths the restaurant must identify one type of activity that can be subjected to crashing.

Today, project managers are challenged with improving efficiency and overall productivity while working on certain tasks. They must be flexible and understand how to use tools and methods to improve results. While Lean Six Sigma (LSS) provides an overall data driven process to detect and improve system defects, project management has tools to evaluate and create a defined plan and manage a project. This article examines LSS alongside Project Management. It breaks down Six Sigma's DMAIC process, and shows incorporate both LSS and project management tools. If LSS only focuses on minimizing defects, then time management, cost reduction, and overall project planning must be incorporated to achieve successful project completion. This research demonstrates how that is possible. Finally, the research answers a key question: Can project management benefit LSS?

There are two opponents in a classic network interdiction problem, network owner/defender and interdictor/attacker. Each side has enough information about the other’s possible courses of action. While the network user wishes to run the network in an optimal way, the attacker with the limited resources tries to prevent the optimal operation of the network by interdicting the arcs/nodes of the network. In this study, we investigate project management in a competitive environment using a network interdiction approach. We assume that the project owner/manager strives to minimize the completion time of a Critical Path Method (CPM) based project while an opponent attempts to maximize the minimum completion time by inflicting some delays on project activities with available interdiction resources. Considering both discrete and continuous delay times, we develop two bi-level mixed-integer programming models for the interdictor. Using duality, we then convert the bi-level models to standard single-level models, which are solvable through standard optimization packages. We extend these models to find efficient solutions in terms of project completion time and interdiction resources from the interdictor’s perspective. In this respect, we develop an algorithm to find an efficient solution set for the interdictor. Next, from project manager’s standpoint, we discuss the earliest and latest scheduling times of activities in case of interdiction. Finally, we apply the developed techniques in a marketing project aiming at introducing a new product. The findings may enhance a better project management in an environment where an opponent can adversely affect the project management process by delaying some activities.

Project management is a practice based profession. Just knowing the project management principles does not make a person a successful project manager. It is more important to assess how the candidate applies the project management principle in practice than merely knowing the theoretical aspects of project management. Project Managers play a critical role in the organization. They are responsible for maintaining the revenue stream by ensuring steady flow of project deliverables, be it an internal initiative or a client program. As a Hiring Manager one has to use the right tools and methods to select the right candidate for the position of Project Manager. In this article some of the basic qualities of a Project Manager and the interview techniques adopted to select a Project Manager are discussed. The paper ends with discussion on new competency areas of Project Managers and new roles played by Project Managers in those areas.

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of using strategic approaches for managing communication in projects, especially for top-level managers and lower-level employees. The gap of communication could be resolved by implementing strategic approaches of communication management, so as to include all personnel in the organization. According to Neves and Eisenberger (2012), the literature of communication management has stated that it is a key factor for success. Furthermore, Ramsing (2009) claimed that in recent years, most project managers have different educational backgrounds, but they also have limited backgrounds in communication management. To overcome this problem, the authors will state the most effective strategies for managers to utilize for communication in a project. They believe that the there are four most effective strategies, which are the PMI communication strategy, the six main steps of communication strategy, understanding the direction of communication, and choosing the right communication channel.

To meet the target completion time of a construction project is one of the most important performance indi­cators of project management. This paper proposes a fast and accurate method for evaluating the reliability of project completion time in large construction projects, using reliability theory. The proposed method is developed to overcome the limitations of existing methods, including the inaccuracy of the program evaluation and review technique and the long computational time of the narrow reliability bounds method. The proposed method is established in three main parts: (i) calculating the statistics of paths duration in the network; (ii) truncating insignificant paths of the network; and (iii) proposing an innovative solution to accurate estimate for reliability of project completion time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using an example project. It is found that the results of the proposed method on the reliability of completion time are accurate. It is also found that the proposed method significantly reduces the number of analysed network paths and the computational effort. The method proposed here can serve as a fast and accurate tool for project managers and project planners in project planning, re-planning, and project control phases.

Construction development in Indonesia is being intensively carried out as a characteristic that Indonesia is a developing country. CV. X is a construction company that has a project in the form of ten shophouses with three floors. The project is planned to start in August 2020 and be completed in December 2021 or for 68 weeks. The change of seasons becomes an obstacle in the work of the project that causes delays. Progress expected by CV. X in 2 months of project work is 8%, but the reality on the project progress field is only 6%. Therefore, this study aims to optimize existing work time so that the delay can be overcome. The method used in this study is Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) with rainfall as the probability. The results of the study found that the project work time can be optimized by 3% and delays can be overcome because the project completion time becomes 66 weeks. The project is still ongoing, so there is still a possibility of error, therefore effective project management must still be considered. Usually in similar studies the probability of time or cost, while in this study use rainfall as the probability.

Abstract: Despite the increasing number of Public-Private Partnerships projects, the results have shown little effectiveness and difficulties in several aspects of project management. This study performs a systematic literature review combining bibliometric analysis and content analysis to identify the challenges in managing these projects and techniques to overcome them, highlighting the critical success factors for project management. The results indicate an increasing number of researches in the field, but there is still a lack of systematization of the management tools and absence of critical success factors during the accomplishment of this type of project. This study proposes a systematization of these elements throughout the project cycle, allowing project managers to visualize challenges and techniques to increase the results related to the main success factors of each stage.

Purpose: Evaluate and compare PERT/CPM and Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) techniques, from the Theory of Constraints (TOC), in relation to indicators of delivery time estimation and reliability in meeting established deadlines. Theoretical framework: The research is based on the time management theory established by the PERT/CPM and CCPM methods. Design/methodology/approach: This work has an experimental character, using a method of computer simulation by applying the Promodel software. A fictitious project environment managed by PERT/CPM and CCPM techniques was modeled in order to evaluate and compare their performances in terms of estimation of, and compliance with, project completion deadlines. Findings: The results obtained showed that the CCPM method proved to be more effective in reducing project completion time and meeting established deadlines. Conversely, the PERT/CPM method increased planned project completion time by 189%. Research, Practical & Social implications: Many managers assume that the best approach to project planning, especially when aiming for short and reliable deadlines, is to allocate margins of safety to each scheduled activity. This research reinforced the already widely held perception of TOC that, due to certain ordinary human behaviors, local optimizations do not guarantee, and usually adversely effect, good global results. Originality/value: There is a lack of research comparing PERT/CPM and CCPM techniques through modeling and computer simulations of project environments subjected to certain degrees of uncertainty, particularly in terms of performance variables such as those studied here. The results of this research, therefore, address this opportunity, bringing to light comparative scenarios and explanations for the different behaviors observed. Keywords: Computational Simulation; Project Management; Goldratt; Critical Chain; CCPM; PERT/CPM.
