Assessing Project Time Management of the Morvarid Petrochemical Contractors in 5th Olefin Project via ANP

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet or exceed sponsors’ needs and expectations. Project time management is one of the fields that involve processes which require success in order to complete projects on time; accordingly, these processes are affected by other factors. This study tries to introduce some assessment models in project management in Morvarid Petrochemical Co., as the executive of the 5th Olefin project in Asalouyeh, and their contractors. Effective factors in time management and delays could be affected by Morvarid petrochemical contractors; accordingly similar contract types are made (Fixed Price Construction & Erection Contract: Lump Sum). These factors are categorized based on management fields in PMBOK standard and assessed with ANP and questionnaires. Contractors could be ranked via comparing their strengths and weaknesses. Their factors are the different weight value in delays. The findings of this research show that the entire management project fields have relation with each other but the intensity of their relations differs and depends on time and place of project execution.
