A study on project schedule and cost overruns with reference to Construction Company

Title of the project:

A study on project schedule and cost overruns with reference to Construction Company

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Project Management offers challenges that can be more visible and accountable than the more mainstream activities within an organization. Projects within organizations can bring disparate parts together through team members who represent their specialisms. Innovation and change has generated increased partnership working across public sector organizations. This emphasizes the importance of Project cost Management used to manage the complexities of these types of projects. Whilst cost reduction draws on generic management skills it is the adaptability of these skills in the context of a project that generates the need for cost, energy and commitment. Aiming for excellence is the key to a successful project.

The present study on Project schedule and Cost Management was undertaken to get knowledge of the effectiveness of cost management strategies in an organization. The present study is taken up with the aim of studying the approach of the Real estate Companies in developing, managing and executing of project cost management tools and techniques used in organization.
The study is done at Hyderabad in Construction Company with the employees from different departments as the respondents of the study. The staffs at different levels of hierarchy were interviewed using questionnaire. The data collected from the primary source and the secondary sources was analyzed using tables and charts. From the study, it was found that the PMS tools and techniques used in the organization are effective and most of the people working on different projects in the organization agree to it.The organization should therefore regularly assess the need for using advanced technology, assessment of risk and involvement of skillful employees who would form part of the project and meet the needs of the Stakeholders involved in the projects.

A Study on Role of Project Management Information system (PMIS) for successful implementation of Projects

Title of the project: A Study on “Role of Project Management Information system (PMIS)” for successful implementation of Projects.

Objectives of the project:

  • To investigate the contribution of PMIS towards the success of various projects.
  • To study the role of every component of PMIS for the successful implementation of projects.
  • To analyze information instruments for the current management of ongoing projects.
  • To study how to create and maintain an information circulation network for the management of operational activities.
  • To study the importance of Enterprise guidance and project background information.
  • To study information coming from various sources, including formal reports, informal sources, observations, project review meetings, and questioning.
  • To study the interface of PMIS with larger organizational information systems to permit smooth, well-organized interchange of information in support of organizational and project goals.

Problem Statement:

A PMIS consists of people, equipment, and procedure to collect, process, store, combine, and communicate the needed information to users (stakeholders) for carrying out project management functions.

The success of the timely implementation of projects depends on the availability of essential information at the appropriate time. The information is needed for taking various decisions during the selection, planning, execution, and closure of a project. Project Management Information System (PMIS) aims to provide relevant information on time, resulting in improved performance.

Traditionally, this system was manual, paper-based, and labor-intensive. It was slow to respond and update. The advancement of computer and telecommunication technology made a phenomenal change in it.

The features of present PMIS include:

  • Speed: Processes speed up the creation of information within a blink of an eye.
  • Capacity: Ability to process and store large data.
  • Efficient: Fewer people are needed to manage the system.
  • Economic: Provides cost advantage over manual system.
  • Accuracy: Provides better accuracy than a manual system. 

Project Management Information System (PMIS) helps in planning, executing, and closing project management goals. Project managers use PMIS for budget frameworks such as estimating costs at the time of the planning process. Furthermore, the PMIS is employed to build a specific schedule and classify the scope baseline.

The project management team collects information into one database while executing the project management goals. It is used to compare the baseline with the actual achievement of each activity, manage materials, collect financial data, and keep a record for reporting purposes. The PMIS is used to assess the goals to ensure that the tasks were accomplished when the project is closed after that, it is employed to make a final report of the project close.

Methodology to be used:

The research process or methodology is the approach to the entire study- it is the master plan. It is the blueprint for achieving the objectives.

PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION

Data are collected firsthand. The key point here is that the data you collect is unique and research; until it is published no one else has access to it.

There are many methods of collecting primary data and these methods include

  • Questionnaire
  • Interview
  • Focus group interviews
  • Observation
  • Case Studies
  • Diaries
  • Critical incidents
  • Portfolios.

The primary data, which is generated by the above methods may be qualitative or quantitative the nature. 

Questionnaire

The questionnaire is one of the most widely used survey data collection techniques. Because each person is asked to respond to the same set of questions. It provides an efficient way of collecting responses from a large sample prior to quantitative analysis.

Interview

Interviewing is a technique that is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons and motivations for people’s attitudes preferences or behavior. Interviews can be undertaken on a personal one-to-one basis or in a group.

SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION

Secondary data is one type of quantitative data that has already been collected by someone else for a different purpose than yours. Examples of secondary data are case studies, government reports, organizational reports, etc.

Statistical Tools for representation and analysis of data

  1. Tabulation
  2. Graphs
  3. Chart
  4. Pareto Analysis
  5. Diagrams

This project will be mostly based on my own experience and case studies of different researchers but I will also use the experience of my colleagues and suggestions of my higher official. An exhaustive amount of data available on the internet, from textbooks, newspapers, and various magazines, and suggestions from a few experts in the field will be analyzed in doing this project.
