Sellutehdasprojektin tiedonhallintamalli

Tässä työssä käsitellään globaalin toimitusprojektin tiedonhallintaa. Työn pääpaino on modernin toimintaympäristön tiedonhallinnalle asettamien vaatimuksien kuvaamisessa. Lisäksi perehdytään projektin suunnittelun ja ohjauksen tekniikoihin integroidussa projektinohjausjärjestelmässä. Tiedonhallinnalla on erityisen merkittävä rooli toimitusprojektissa, jossa toimittajalla ei ole omaa valmistusta.Työn tavoitteena oli kehittää tiedonhallintamalli toimitusprojektille, joka on hajautettu useisiin eri toimipaikkoihin. Tämä malli on kehitetty pääasiassa selkeyttämään toimintaympäristöä, havaitsemaan tiedonhallinnan puutteita ja luomaan taustaa jatkokehitystä varten.Työssä koottu materiaali perustuu pääasiassa haastatteluihin, palavereihin, erilaisiin sisäisiin raportteihin, kirjallisuuteen ja itsenäiseen selvitystyöhön. Suunnitteluprojektia käytetään esimerkkinä aikataulu- ja resurssienhallinnan työkalun laajemmasta käytöstä sekä tuloksenarvomenetelmään tutustuttamiseen.

Development of a project control procedure

The aim of this study is to develop a suitable project control procedure for a target company that can be used in engineering, procurement, and construction or con-struction management contracts. This procedure contains suitable project control software and a model for the use of the software in practice. This study is divided into two main sections. Theoretical part deals with project management, focusing on cost and time dimensions in projects. Empirical part deals with the development of the project control procedure for the target compa-ny. This development takes place in two parts. In the first part, semi-structured interviews are used to find out the company’s employees’ demands and desires for the project control software which will then be used in the developed procedure. These demands and desires are compared to available software in the market and the most suitable one will be chosen. Interview results show that important factors are cost tracking, integration with other software, English language availability, references, helpdesk, and no need for regular updates. The most suitable one is CMPro5 cost control software. The chosen software is used in a pilot project, where its functions and use are analyzed. Project control procedure which will be used in the future is developed based on these procedures. The five steps in developed procedure include employment of a cost engineer, whose task is to maintain the procedure in the target company.

Performance measurement model for projects from a strategic management perspective

This research studied the project performance measurement from the perspective of strategic management. The objective was to find a generic model for project performance measurement that emphasizes strategy and decision making. Research followed the guidelines of a constructive research methodology. As a result, the study suggests a model that measures projects with multiple meters during and after projects. Measurement after the project is suggested to be linked to the strategic performance measures of a company. The measurement should be conducted with centralized project portfolio management e.g. using the project management office in the organization. Metrics, after the project, measure the project’s actual benefit realization. During the project, the metrics are universal and they measure the accomplished objectives relation to costs, schedule and internal resource usage. Outcomes of these measures should be forecasted by using qualitative or stochastic methods. Solid theoretical background for the model was found from the literature that covers the subjects of performance measurement, projects and uncertainty. The study states that the model can be implemented in companies. This statement is supported by empirical evidence from a single case study. The gathering of empiric evidence about the actual usefulness of the model in companies is left to be done by the evaluative research in the future.
