Identification and Prioritization Effective Inter-Project and Environmental Challenges on Implementation of Project Management System (Case study: Projects of Pars Special Economic Energy Zone)

Abstract

Project performance depends on performance of its administrative organizations. Obviously, maturity level of these organizations depends on various internal and environmental factors. Defect in each factor can disturb project performance and accomplishment of its purposes. This article aims on identification and prioritization effective environmental and inter-project challenges on implementation of project management system. It calculated each choice distance by Fuzzy ideal solution and Fuzzy anti-ideal solution by TOPSIS method and finally proximity index coefficient of each choice was calculated to indicate choices ranking. Higher values of proximity coefficients mean more proximity to Fuzzy ideal solution and more distance from Fuzzy anti-ideal solution.  Statistical population of this study is limited to 40 people; therefore, 40 ones were selected as responders and sampling was avoided. Research results have shown that prioritization of criteria from first to the third is cost management, time management, and quality management in projects. According to ongoing challenges of each project including strategic, operational, and environmental factors, these choices are ranked.
