Improving the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Infrastructure Project Delivery through Data Driven Portfolio Management

通过创新英国项目“改善建筑业的供应链整合”，Costain和WMG将战略规划确定为缺失的组合管理能力，影响了项目执行的效率。这个博士项目将开发先进的数据分析方法，以解决这一差距。该项目有5个阶段：1。概念框架的发展（文献综述）2。开发高级数据分析方法，用于识别和聚类不同类型的项目，作为跨业务组合管理流程的一部分。3.模拟项目交付效率的潜在效益（成本、质量、时间和环境影响），展示加强与供应链关系的协作方法的商业案例4。在一组项目中进行试点测试并识别采用的抑制因素将提供有价值的运营洞察力和新知识。最后确定方法和更广泛实施的建议。EPSRC涉及的研究领域是：“运筹学“因为该项目将在水部门进行测试，它还涉及“水工程“领域，因为该项目将采用的一些方法和思维将来自制造业-它与“制造技术”领域联系在一起。

Through the Innovate UK project "improving Supply Chain Integration in Construction", Costain and WMG identified strategic planning as a missing portfolio management capability, impacting the efficiency of project execution. This PhD project will develop advanced data analytics approach to address this gap.The project has 5 phases:1. Development of conceptual framework (literature review)2. Development of the advanced data analytics approach for identifying and clustering the different types of projects as part of the portfolio management process across business.3. Simulation of the potential benefits to the efficiency of project delivery (cost, quality, time and environmental impact) demonstrating the business case for collaborative approach to strengthening the relationship with the supply chain4. Pilot testing within a group of projects and identification of the inhibitors to adoption will provide valuable operational insight and new knowledge.5. Finalisation of the approach and recommendations for broader implementation.The EPSRC research area involved is: "Operational Research"Because the project will be tested on the Water sector it also involves the area of "Water Engineering"And because some of the approaches and thinking the project will adopt will be from manufacturing - it links to the area of "Manufacturing technologies"
