Public-Private Project (PPP) projects in highway infrastructure development are gaining popularity in emerging economies, optimizing public budgets through private investments, sharing risks between the public and private sectors, and benefiting from the multiplier effect. The goal of this study is to investigate the success of the first mega conce...
This paper presents a systematic scientific literature review of software in Project Management over the past five years. Through keyword-based research and subsequent selection, 108 papers were identified. Initially, these papers were categorized based on their research methodology and objectives. Then, trends related to the terminology, affiliati...
NextGenerationEU is a € 750 billion recovery plan developed by the European Commission in response to the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan aims to provide financial support to EU Member States (MSs) and help them recover from the economic and social impacts of the crisis. Among MSs, Italy has received the largest funding....
Schedule control is fundamental to project success, enabling proactive management of deviations from the baseline plan. While Earned Value Management (EVM) provides solid results for analyzing schedule performance, its limitations prompted the exploration of alternative methods. This study describes the drawbacks of EVM in schedule control. It then...
Despite the abundance of papers on establishing the optimal concession period for Public Private Partnerships (PPP) from the public procurement perspective, the impact of external factors influencing the duration of the concession period of PPP projects is scarcely explored in the PPP literature. In this context, this research conducts a statistica...
§ PURPOSE: This study aims to examine the impact of laws, regulations and standards (i.e. the sources) on implementing a recordkeeping system in the public sector. It then provides an approach to set up a recordkeeping system in public procurement that complies with modern project management (PM) paradigms, information technology best practices and...
Purpose
The influence of internal and external factors impacting the duration of the concession period in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) is essential for project outcomes considering its implications on operational expenses, payback periods in project finance and long-term uncertainties. In this context, this research analyzes a set of key fact...
Digital tools are transforming the construction industry, reshaping how projects are designed, managed, and delivered. Building Information Modeling (BIM), a cornerstone of this transformation, requires a systemic approach because its implementation spans several organization functions, involves multiple stakeholders, and encompasses all phases of...
The Physical Internet (PI) is a modern logistics pattern based on resources and information sharing, modeled after the Digital Internet (DI). Running a PI network demands a participatory and distributed decision-making system, requiring communication protocols between nodes and optimization algorithms. Although different in nature, the Protocols an...
Conceptual cost estimates, evaluated during a construction project's initiation phase, are fundamental for determining whether to invest in the project, validating its budget, or screening alternatives. Compared to traditional estimation techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) methods proved effective in assessing the nonlinear relationship betwee...
Current inflation rates have significantly been increasing construction project costs globally. Thus, it is crucial to consider potential inflationary trends when estimating the cost at completion of prolonged projects. However, the absence of literature providing guidance on analyzing inflation trends and adjusting the ongoing project cost perform...
Digital transformation (DT) initiatives are vital for organisations to remain relevant and competitive amidst a complex and ever-evolving technological landscape. Selecting and evaluating suitable projects is critical for achieving strategic objectives while balancing necessity and feasibility. Despite the extensive literature on project portfolio...
Cost overruns are a common problem in project management and can significantly impact project outcomes. While previous research has focused on accurately estimating project risks, less attention has been paid to understanding the relationship between cost overruns and risk perception. This study aims to improve risk management practices by modeling...
Project risk management (PRM) involves identifying risks, assessing their impact, and developing a contingency plan. A structured contingency management (CM) approach prevents subjective biases in analyzing risks and developing responses. Previous studies have either focused on improving the accuracy of risk estimates or analyzed, from a qualitativ...
From a managerial perspective, project success hinges on estimates at completion as they allow tailoring response actions to cost and schedule overruns. While the literature is moving towards sophisticated approaches, standard methodologies, such as Earned-Value Management (EVM) and Earned Schedule (ES), are barely implemented in certain contexts....
The Earned Value Management (EVM) methodology provides an index-based Estimate at Completion (EAC) formula to forecast the final cost of an ongoing project. However, neither the EVM methodology nor the literature in cost forecasting considers the occurrence of risks and how the cost contingency reserve (CC) is used to mitigate them. This study prop...
The accurate estimation of the project duration at completion is still an open issue in project monitoring and control. Earned Value Management EVM) and Earned Schedule (ES) methods provide alternative solutions, but rely on specific assumptions that may not be satisfied by all projects, thus compromising their reliability. This study provides a pr...
The Project Management (PM) discipline is evolving towards the adoption of digital technologies, which are to be integrated into a project management information system (PMIS). Despite the fact that many PMIS solutions are already available, there is no standard data model for PMIS development, nor is the logic underlying PMIS. Therefore, organizat...
Logistics Service Providers (LSP) are increasingly adopting Automated Parcel Lockers (APLs) to mitigate the operational pressure of last-mile logistics. The optimal location of APL stations is key for reaching customers’ demand while keeping the investment reasonable. Previous studies developed optimization algorithms and applied them to virtual in...
Gates' bidding model allows anticipating the probability of submitting the lowest bid in a future auction. Despite its relative simplicity, this classical model has been shown to outperform many other bidding models in real auction settings. However, Gates' model is accurate if, and only if, bidders' bid probability distributions are from the propo...
In projects managed under the SCRUM framework, planning involves estimating the time and effort required to complete the user stories and optimizing the resources' workload. Hence, it is necessary to assess not only the affinity between user stories and those of completed projects but also the deviations in productivity through the project sprints....
Construction project governance relies on agreements between the actors along the construction industry value chain. The mutual obligations arising from these contracts rely on timely monetary transactions. Despite the advantages of automation in payment systems and improved access to digital progress data, several payment applications rely nonethe...
Several studies have been conducted in the Project Management field further to improve the Earned Value Management (EVM) methodology to forecast the project cost estimate at completion (EAC). This work aims at developing a linear model to increase the accuracy of the standard EAC and minimize the variance of the error. The research is conducted on...
The significant and constant spike in e-commerce purchases experienced in recent years has generated more pressure on Logistics Service Providers’ urban activities, with negative consequences on costs and negative externalities (i.e. environmental impacts and traffic congestion). In this context, home deliveries are some of the major sources of ine...
The widespread diffusion of the online channel in the retail marketplace is impacting modern society considerably in recent years. Given the growing demand, Business to Consumer (B2C) e-commerce entails a much higher complexity of the delivery process due to significant fragmentation of parcel shipments in the last mile, especially in urban areas,...
