Project Control System: A Case Study

First of all, we should look at what is project is a temporary attempt taken to produce a specific or service. When we take the word control monitoring, planning, taking corrective actions and measuring are included in the control system. The main purpose of having a control system in the project life cycle is in order to reduce the difference between the planning and the actual results. Implementation of the project according to the explained plan of the project can be achieved using a control methodology. Further adding to this the project control system plays a major role in the project life cycle (Shtub, Bard, & Globerson, 2005).

Also, “it is broadly known that planning and monitoring plays a key part as the reason of project failures.

The successful implementation of a concurrent engineering methodology within a cross-country petroleum pipeline construction project in India strongly recommends controlling projects through risk management, quality monitoring, and an integrated information management system (Dey, 2000). Another way of tackling the issue of the importance of control is by examining project failures in order to identify the most effective project control rules. For example, a survey was carried out among 1,450 companies in the public and private sectors (Whittaker, 1999). The main conclusion was that lack of risk management was the most highly ranked factor contributing to project failure. Other contributing factors were lack of required team skills and lack of control.Researchers surveyed construction projects in Jordan with the objective of identifying the major causes of delay in the construction industry (Odeh & Battaineh, 2002). Findings indicated that owner interference, inadequate constructor experience, financing and payments, labor productivity, slow decision-making, improper planning, and subcontractors were among the top 10 most important causes for delay.During the past decade, leading projects in many industries were enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation

Project managers must deal with such risks in a most flexible and economic manner so as to minimize losses of project profitability.
