| Abstract [eng] |
In the scientific literature analysis section, foreign scientific articles related to construction project management, software, and methods aimed at efficiently meeting project deadlines are reviewed. The analysis examines proposals and software designed to complete construction projects on time, without depleting resources or incurring penalties. The methodological section reviews multi-criteria evaluation methods, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the formulas required for calculations. The methods selected for the research are also discussed. The research section investigates four software tools aimed at facilitating construction project management, ensuring timely completion of projects while utilizing optimal resources and funding. For this research, an expert survey was conducted to identify the key aspects influencing the selection and practical application of software. The survey results are used to determine the significance coefficients, which are then applied in the MOORA and TOPSIS multi-criteria evaluation methods. Their similarities and differences are observed. For the multi-criteria evaluation, four software tools are selected: Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, PlanGrid, and Primavera P6 (Oracle), along with five evaluation criteria: along with five evaluation criteria: the annual cost of the software, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility, storage and retrieval of information from the cloud instead of a local drive, and compatibility of the software with existing systems. A decision-making matrix is formed based on these criteria. The results of the multicriteria evaluation methods are presented in diagrams. Research Object - analysis of the efficiency of construction project management software. Aim of the Work – to analyze the characteristics of selected project management software and determine which system is the most efficient. Objectives of the Work: 1. To review scientific literature and identify factors leading to unsuccessful construction project management processes. 2. To analyze and characterize multicriteria analysis methods, justifying the application of MOORA and TOPSIS methods for processing research data. 3. To select and describe the evaluation criteria for the compared construction project management software, assess its efficiency, and compare the results obtained from different analysis methods. Research Methods - analysis of scientific articles. Published Article: Juozaitis, D., & Kelpšienė, L. Evaluation of the Efficiency of Construction Project Management Software Using the TOPSIS Method. Presented at the student scientific conference “Technological and Business Trends 2024” on November 22, 2024, Panevėžys. The master's thesis consists of: summaries in Lithuanian and English, an introduction, three chapters, conclusions, and a list of references. The thesis comprises 70 pages. |
