Sustainability Oriented Scheduling Procedure for Public Projects

摘要

Public projects are the projects implemented by public administration units and with the involvement of funds from the budget of this administration. Based on the literature analysis and the case studies of the completed public projects in different countries, it can be concluded that public projects do not always end on time and that many basic methods for project scheduling and task duration estimation are not used. Public projects have a significant impact on the future and consume huge amount of resources, thus their planning cannot be detached from sustainability principles. Therefore, there is a need to recognize scheduling of public projects as one of the key activities carried out by project managers and to develop appropriate methods in this area. In the paper we propose a procedure of scheduling public projects that allow to mitigate the scheduling problems and help in applying sustainability principles where the degree of sustainability is measured using fuzzy terms.
