Research on the System Dynamics Mechanism of Project Management

Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction

ABSTRACT

With the increasing complexity of construction projects, the project management is becoming more and more difficult. It is urgent to put forward a new idea conforming to engineering practice. This paper analyzes the problem of project management and the dynamic mechanism, then tries to introduce the thought of system dynamics into project management. By means of the quality control process, the paper compares and analyzes the project management methods based on system dynamics and the traditional project management methods. Eventually, the dynamic mechanism of project management based on system dynamics is presented.
