摘要

Program managers routinely make decisions that affect projects in all phases. These decisions often control hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of resources and personnel. A tremendous amount of energy has been applied to developing project management tools such as scheduling software and the like. These systems can sometimes be limited by two fundamental impediments; the project variables such as task duration and cost are typically assumed to be precisely known, and the project relationships are not always simple linear functions. These impediments can sometimes adversely affect the effectiveness of even the most expert project manager. This work describes a tool that combines risk assessment with optimization to optimize project management decisions. These tools consist of a project variable risk assessment by using stochastic inputs for project variables such as task duration and cost instead of single value point estimates. This analysis provides probability distributions for intermediate milestone or total project costs and completion dates. By employing a MonteCarlo simulation technique, the manager can focus project monitoring resources from output the details the percentage of the time a task will fall on the critical path. This can be done at the bidding stage to evaluate the project risk/reward level or at the project kick-off stages to optimize the project baseline schedule. If project slippage begins to occur, the manager can then implement a machine learning software algorithm known as genetic algorithm or genetic programming, that will optimize which project tasks to accelerate to recover schedule at the minimum cost under deterministic or uncertain (i. e. stochastic) conditions. These results are immediately discernable and readily explainable to management. A summary of the theoretical basis and applicability for the techniques are provided.
