A study on the effectiveness of task manager board game as a training tool in managing project
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016Nowadays, games have become one of the useful tools in training. Many instructors choose to use games to enhance the way of delivering the subject. Failure to apply the suitable tool in training will lead to discouragement in learning and causing waste to the resources. An effective game will help the student understand the concept quickly. It can also

Journal of Operations Management, 2019
AbstractEngineers working on tasks in technology‐intensive project environments face substantial task resolution uncertainty. This can result in poor capacity utilization as they expend effort on tasks that are not successfully resolved. A deeper understanding of task‐related uncertainty can help the firm optimize effort allocation across tasks by ...

Managing project task time uncertainty with probabilistic time buffers
International Journal of Advanced Operations Management, 2011Large-scale projects often include numerous tasks with uncertain durations. This results in complex probabilistic project networks that are difficult to manage because there are no well-defined critical paths. Since the joint probability of successfully completing all paths in these project networks before pre-defined due dates can be very low, it is ...

A Task-Based Modeling Method for Process Modeling and Automation in Project Management
2008 4th International Conference on Wireless Communications, Networking and Mobile Computing, 2008By introducing "best practices" as standard process models, business process standardization and reengineering have assisted in achieving the efficiency of the project development. However, they have also resulted in many problems because a standard model has limited flexibility to suit different practices of different projects.

Navigational Models for Computer Supported Project Management Tasks on Construction Sites
Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2004Integrated product and process models have started gaining acceptance in the construction industry and it is conceivable that in the near future project data will be contained in these models. A project model can contain large data sets making it harder for users to navigate. This challenge is even more difficult in cases where mobile computing is used

Stringing Construction Planning and Execution Tasks Together for Effective Project Management
Journal of Management in Engineering, 2015AbstractThis paper introduces a new concept termed the continuous task-string (TS), which consists of specific combinations of preconstruction planning (PCP) and project execution (PE) tasks that, when linked together have a high probability of improving project performance. Through a two-stage process, 3,910 combinations of 46 and 85 PCP and PE tasks,

An integrating framework for prioritising tasks in designing management system improvement projects
European J. of Industrial Engineering, 2014Quality function deployment (QFD) is a widely used method in several fields such as product design, manufacturing process design, and project development. House of quality (HOQ) is one of the manipulation tools for QFD and it can convert customer requirements (CRs) into the design parameters (DPs) of a firm.
