| Abstract | Project management is used to plan, organize, and implement
a development project by the control of activities and use of
resources. in order that the project may be completed on time and
with minimum costs. Good planning, scheduling and control are
important elements for successful project management.
This study is concerned with managing Phase of the
construction of Bang Plea New Town being developed near Bangkok
by the National Housing Authority. Phase 1 was carried out during
1981/1986 but with considerable ground engineering problems,
construction delays and cost increases. The planning, staging,
contracting and management arrangement for phase 1 are outlined,
the implementation problems described and the causes of the
problems identified.
The planning, scheduling and control techniques used for
managing the project were then considered and compared with the
advanced project management technique suitable for large scale
projects such as work breakdown structure, integrated project
management information system, and hierarchical planning.
Particular consideration was given to the possible application of
computer techniques.
The study proposes that a selective use of these more
powerful and comprehensive techniques would help in achieving a
more systematic planning with better results. It particularly
recommends the use of the Critical Path Method CCPM) and a
computer based information system such as the PROJACS and Hornet
Project Management Microcomputer System . |
