Risk management in major projects

Baker, Scott William January 1997 (has links)
The integration of risk management in major projects within the construction and oil and gas industries has never been more significant especially as these projects are becoming larger and more complex. The increased requirement for risk to be efficiently managed is also supported by the inflated amount of legislation in this area, mainly due to incidents like the Piper Alpha installation in 1988. Hence risk management is developing into a multifarious process which needs continual update throughout the project’s life. Even though the legislation has expanded, there is still no standardisation to which the firms are to perform risk management. Therefore, improvements to the techniques that are used are possible and necessary. Current methods are too conservative resulting in substantial costs and less understanding about the risks themselves. Therefore, more detailed risk management techniques are imperative. This thesis determines the five steps of risk management which are essential to achieve a controlled risk environment. The research involves an in-depth questionnaire canvassing the largest companies within the construction and the oil and gas industries in the UK, who are constantly involved with major projects. The questionnaire ascertains important information which will assist companies in selecting the most pertinent and successful techniques for each of the five steps. A case study from the oil industry is introduced and proposals are made to improve the quantitative risk analysis methodology. This, in turn, will aid the decision making process when confronted with technical risks and will ultimately produce a more controlled risk environment. In addition, valuable information will be gained due to a better understanding of the risks as well as maximising profits. A new risk analysis method is subsequently derived which is based on the use of the @RISK package. It is intended that the results of this thesis will be incorporated in future risk analyses.

Vliv inflace a rizik na hodnocení PPP projektů / Inlflation and risks in evaluation of PPP projects

Mora, Igor January 2008 (has links)
Thesis focuses on issues of inflation and risks in evaluation of PPP projects. It sets the basic assumptions and standards for risk identification and administration in PPP projects and furthermore discusses their impact on Value for money and Availability payment. The thesis sets the basic rules for incorporating the inflation and risks into the PPP alternative and sets the rules for economic evaluation of PPP against PSC alterantive (Public Sector Comparator). For the illustration a hypothetical project of construction of primary and secondary schools has been worked out. For the evaluation of economic impact and selection of PPP vs. PSC alternative a standard financial model has been prepared. It focuses on analyzing the Value for moeny and seting up the Availability payment.

Gerenciamento de projetos: análise dos fatores de risco que influenciam o sucesso de projetos de sistemas de informação / Management projects: analysis of risk factors that influence the success of projects in information systems

Pinto, Sergio Augusto Orfão 18 July 2002 (has links)
Este trabalho é sobre gerenciamento de projetos no contexto da área de sistemas de informação, onde há características específicas e relacionamentos entre elementos tais como : tecnologia, processos de negócio, gerenciamento de mudança, comportamento humano e especificação subjetiva do produto . A taxa de fracassos em projetos de sistemas de informação permanece alta em comparação com outros projetos de tecnologia. O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é contribuir para o conhecimento na área de gerenciamento de projetos de sistemas de informação, focando na investigação dos fatores de risco que podem influenciar no sucesso percebido de um projeto. Um dos desafios deste trabalho foi definir conceitos e medidas objetivas para avaliar os eventos associados com gerenciamento do risco e com o sucesso de projetos. Apoiado na revisão da literatura sobre o tema e em outras pesquisas similares, foi construído um instrumento com o qual diversas dimensões de risco e sucesso foram avaliadas em uma amostra de 180 projetos de sistemas de informação. Cada dimensão foi dividida em classes e cada classe foi detalhada em variáveis métricas em sua maioria. Depois da coleta e validação dos dados da amostra, foram aplicadas algumas técnicas estatísticas para analisar o comportamento das dependências entre fatores de risco e fatores de sucesso. A análise da direção e intensidade de influência de cada fator de risco para cada fator de sucesso reproduziu grande parte do conhecimento obtido da revisão da literatura, mas o nível de detalhe proporcionado pelo uso das técnicas estatísticas permitiu desvendar alguns aspectos que não eram facilmente perceptíveis. As conclusões apresentadas neste trabalho podem ser consideradas por gerentes de projeto que trabalham com produtos de tecnologia de informação, mais especificamente aqueles envolvidos com implantação e/ou desenvolvimento e sistemas de informação. Além disso, os resultados obtidos podem ajudar na elaboração de procedimentos práticos para metodologias de gerenciamento de risco, pois a lista de influências e dependências entre risco e sucesso é agora melhor conhecida, permitindo melhorias em políticas de gerenciamento de risco. / This research is about project management, especially in the context of information systems area, where there are specific characteristics and relationships among elements like : technology , business processes, change management, human behavior and subjective product specification. The rate of information system project failure remains high in comparison with other high-tech projects. The main objective of this research is to contribute to the knowledge in the area of project management, focusing in the investigation of risk factors that can influence on the perceived success of the project. One of the challenges was to define concepts and to conceive objective measures to assess the events associated with risk management and project success. Sustained in the literature and other similar researches, it was built a instrument with which several dimensions of risk and success were assessed in a sample of 180 information system projects. Each dimension was divided into classes and each class was detailed by variables composed by metric indicators in its majority. After the gathering and validation of the data sample, some statistical techniques were applied to talk over the behavior of dependencies between risk and success factors. The analysis of direction and intensity of the influence of each risk factor over each success factor has reproduced some knowledge from the literature and other researches, but the level of details that was able to get by the statistical techniques shed some light over some aspects that were unrevealed. The conclusions presented in this research can be considered by project managers who work with information technology products, more specifically those who work with systems information development or deployment . Besides, the analysis achieved in this work can help to create practical procedures for risk management methodologies, since the list of influences and dependencies of risk factor over success factors are better known, allowing improvements in a active risk management policy.
