The discovery of Critical Path Method (CPM) made breakdown of project management possible. In the result, project management consists of some knowledge areas like project time management, project cost management etc. But there is a problem: CPM couldn�t take into account resource constrains and costs. So there are a lot of models which include different types of constraints. But the vast majority of such models have serious problem: it�s impossible to scale them to universal model which could take into account time, cost and resources together. We suppose that this universal model could be developed on the base of genetic algorithms and it allow increasing efficiency and quality of project management. In this article we discuss the base principals and tools of such model and specific genetic algorithm is proposed

Optimal Cost

The objective of this paper is to introduce and discuss the basics of a methodology called the Probabilistic Critical Path Method (PCPM) for managing the previously identified risks (uncertainty) of the three project management dimensions: time, cost and return (performance). An interactive Graphic User Interface (GUI) has been designed for visualizing the tradeoffs among these three dimensions as well as their uncertainties on a flat computer screen. The user can choose to visualize the probability of failure (exceeding some user given due date, budget or not exceeding a given Minimally Attractive Rate of Return – MARR) or the probability of success (not exceeding the due date and the budget and exceeding the MARR). PCPM allows for comprehensive project risk management and it constitutes a new integrative project risk management framework. This paper shows that it is possible to integrate all three project management dimensions (time, cost and return) and show their known risks as well as determining the optimal cost and the associated time and return for such optimal cost. Finally, it is possible to interactively show all this multidimensional information on a flat computer screen.

Project Management Processes

The paper analyzes the systematic approach of project management. The description of the structural elements of a systematic approach is given — the project management methodology, game theory and system thinking theory. Due to the qualitative differences between the projects, the levels of project structuring and the needs of interested parties, the work describes a seriesparallel nature of the development stages of the project management. The paper proposes an algorithm for the basic project management processes that is fair for each functional area of the project. Using this algorithm will allow the project manager to increase the quality of management decisions and significantly reduce efforts and time for organizing the project management process.

Undoubtedly, a methodology properly defined and strictly followed for project management provides a firm guarantee that the work will be done on time, in budget and according to specifications. A project management methodology in simple terms is a “must-have” to avoid failure and reduce risks, because is one of the critical success factors, such basic skills of the management team. This is the simple way to guide the team through the design and execution phases, processes and tasks throughout the life cycle of project management. Project management methodology is a strictly defined combination on practices regarding logic, methods and processes that determine how best to plan, develop and control a project along the continuous process of its implementation and successful completion. In project management there are various approaches and methods that can be used in different types of project management. All types of project methodologies can be divided into traditional and modern approaches.

The success and failure of project implementation is often caused by poor planning and ineffective controls, so that project activities experience various obstacles such as the late completion of the project, the decline in the quality of work and the swelling of implementation costs. Project management is carried out to manage the project from the beginning of the project until the completion of the project properly. The case study in this study is PT. PP (Persero) Tbk. as the executing element of the construction work, it is in charge of organizing the construction of the Surabaya Caspian Tower Apartment in East Java. The CPM (Critical Path Method) method is used to find out how long a project has been completed and look for possible acceleration of project time. From the research using the CPM method, it can be seen that the normal duration of project completion is 453 days which can be optimized to 350 days. This can be done by giving special attention to activities included in the critical path and accelerating some activities by increasing the number of workers

Bidding Process

Project management is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. Project management is aimed at meeting a clients requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project. Project management is project management that applies to the construction sector. The construction industry is composed of five sectors: residential, commercial, civil, industrial, and environmental. A construction manager holds the same responsibilities and completes the same processes in each sector. All that separates a construction manager in one sector from one in another is the knowledge of the construction site. This may include different types of equipment, materials, subcontractors, and possibly locations. A contractor is assigned to a construction project once the design has been completed by the architect or is still in progress. This is done by going through a bidding process with different contractors. The contractor is selected by using one of the three selection methods: low-bid selection, best-value selection, or qualifications-based selection. A construction manager should have the ability to handle public safety, time management, decision making, mathematics, and human resources.

This paper proposes a new framework in addressing time-cost trade-off problem (TCTP) under uncertainty. First critical path analysis is carried out based on developing a new interval-valued fuzzy (IVF)-program evaluation and review technique (PERT) approach. Then, non-conformance risks that influence on execution quality of activities are identified and evaluated based on a new approach that considers probability of risk along with impacts on time, cost, and performance. Then, a new mathematical model under IVF uncertainty is presented to decrease project total time while considering time, cost and quality loss cost that is determined in form of rework or modification cost. Finally, the approach categorizes the activities in three groups based on their level of criticality. Outcome of this methodology is a scheduling that addresses time, cost and quality trade-offs in addition to categorizing activities in different groups based on being on the critical path. Therefore, the project manager not only gets a scheduling based on the TCTP with considering quality loss cost but also has a knowledge of activities that require extra attentions. To show the steps of this methodology, an existing application from the literature is adopted and solved.

Scheduling Management

In 2015, a dust explosion occurred in New Taipei Water Park in Taiwan, and 499 casualties was appallingly high. In fact, the government spent 208 min of response time from receiving calls for emergency to sending the last wounded person to hospital. To stop a similar accident happening again, a well-prepared strategy, with an aim to reduce the rescue time, to respond to such an emergency is necessary. This study mainly focuses on the execution of mass casualty operations while both efficiency and quality of care are considered. We not only find that there is only 1 h or less to allocate rescue resources after a Burn Mass Casualty Incident (BMCI) happens but also shorten the response time. It is our first time to use a special method, called Critical Path Method (CPM), to analyze the rescue process. But before CPM is created, the benefit of available resources should be maximized, and timely, safe, and effective emergency medical services should be provided. With CPM, the interrelations of every activity can be visualized, and the most time-consuming activity can be found by this efficient time management. If the relationship between the predecessors and its successors operations of the most time-consuming activity item is reshaped, BMCI prehospital scheduling management becomes more effective based on its efficiency and quality of care.

Last time, management of equipment, maintenance and use of teaching equipment in lower secondary schools in Dien Bien district, Dien Bien province has been paid more attention, making important contributions to keeping sustainably, improve the quality of education in the district. Every year the lower secondary schools have been given funding and have plans to equip additional teaching equipment. Most lower secondary schools have full-time staff in charge of teaching equipment; with equipment storage rooms, cabinets are gradually added; laboratories and classrooms have been built more and more; have a system of records of teaching equipment management established; The work of inventorying and purifying teaching equipment periodically was also concerned. The movement of innovating teaching methods has made education managers and teachers more interested in using teaching equipment effectively. The positive management measures have caused many teachers to use teaching equipment as an integral part of the lesson, helping the quality of the lessons be increasingly improved to meet the requirements of changes. New teaching methods. Education administrators, teachers, teaching equipment staff are becoming more and more serious in teaching device management. However, the reality of teaching equipment management still reveals many limitations: The management of teaching equipment in schools is still administrative and ineffective. The equipment has no overall and detailed plans; The procurement of teaching equipment is not guaranteed in terms of quantity, lack of uniformity (some are redundant, some are lacking), quality is limited (durability, accuracy is not guaranteed, some new ones are not used); preservation still has many shortcomings; lack of specialized staff; lack of storage space or insufficient storage; lack of cabinets, prices, laboratories, subject classrooms; specially managing the use of teaching equipment is not tight; Many places teachers have not paid attention to use, ineffective use. The situation of “teaching vegetarianism” is still common, teaching equipment used is still movement, mostly used only in special cases such as competitions for good teachers, lectures or when there is a delegation check; There are many cases of information technology abuse in teaching. The effective use of teaching equipment oriented student capacity development is not much. The management of the use of teaching equipment oriented to develop student competencies in the current trend of Industry Revolution 4.0 is a matter of great concern to educational managers.Thus, the task of surveying the situation of managing the effective use of teaching equipment, finding subjective and objective reasons in order to propose measures to effectively manage the use of teaching equipment in the direction of developing students’ practical capacities and contributing to improving the quality of teaching in secondary schools in Dien Bien district, Dien Bien province is a very important and necessary task today.
