Improving Project Performance Based on Information and Communication Technology
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ict contributes to the establishment of deeper approaches to how to sustain major projects. On this basis, this research presents the impact of ICT-specific factors on performance indicators of major projects by utilizing a combination of surveys, expert opinions, interviews, and exploratory research, with the help of previous studies in the field of construction projects. The primary investigation assessed the impact of implementing risk management techniques on performance indicators by utilizing a combination of surveys, expert opinions, interviews, and exploratory research, drawing upon previous studies in the field of construction projects. The initial findings were obtained by calculating the factors effect. The identification of the relative importance index (RII) effect facilitated the determination of the consequences. The results of the RII analysis indicate a high level of resistance to change and a moderate level of effectiveness in scheduling and information and communication technology based job planning, with scores of the long payback periods factor and group decision making being made easier, respectively. Following the collection of data, the MCDM approach was employed to analyze it. It was discovered that two risk categories, inadequate rating systems and programs and financial management utilizing information and communication technology, more accurately represent the risk factors. The MCDM results yielded outcomes that were both more accurate and practical.
