ABSTRACT

The construction projects are increasing rapidly in every developing nation all over India. Executing the project phase is likely to be shown more like a work breakdown. It is a procedure that defines in what way, at what time, and by whom a correct Agenda or a set of tasks to be finished. “The purpose of managing the project execution plan is all about managing all the characters within the project plan as all the job should be done to build the definite project run towards success”[1]. In this paper, we have used the Multi-Attribute Decision Making analysis and with that the additive weighting technique to determine the alternative solution from the better solution to the least solutions that should be integrated into the project execution phase. Based on this analysis, the project manager should know more about the data assessing of the respective project with the strategic communication within senior managers, also to consider with an organizational culture and teamwork also by peer review during executing the project. Since the improvement of the project execution plan will be the best control document for completing the projects on time with client satisfaction.

Keywords: Causes, Project Failure, Inadequate planning, Insufficient training, Project execution, Lack of resources, Scheduling risks.

INTRODUCTION

India is the developing country over a distant future due to the lack of the most advantageous framework. “So, in order to come up with a same advantageous framework from the developed nations we should use the same standards that are being used by the developed nations”[2].

Refinery projects are long time projects and most the times it involves complicated engineering. For project management, such complicated output requires in adapting the top management techniques to ensure the outputs on time. “This project involves the complicated engineering and the project management environment, so this projects usually undergoes project delay with respect to time and cost”[3]. “In refinery projects, Engineering-Procurement- Construction contractors, material suppliers, and maintenance are major stakeholders, in this particular environment hazard management the choice can be done with inspecting and evaluating the risk that occurs in every phase of the project execution”[4].

According to Max Wideman, the project structure is all about comprising a project and their relations. The project success/ failure criteria are judged on the benchmark upon comparative achievement or breakdown of the project. “There are 3 basic set of criteria they are first, the funding business, proprietor or customer satisfaction, secondly, the old-style project management is unique of on phase, in economical or to the requirement and thirdly the project success”[5]. The project implementation plan will be the development of a professional event and also the estimated concise. This strategy will clique out an estimated plan towards supervision of the plan, illustrate all the strategies, stages and also the schedules those are going to be accepted. “The situation also defines the action in the connection between the materials outside the scope of major contract (the client’s whole project may consist of several contracts for supply of materials and maintenance both from outside the organization and also inside the customer’s association the situation that are processed and safeguarding agreements and by resources etc.) This will be done by the Project manager”[6]. “The development in the plan must judge in contradiction of project performance plan till the completion of the project and this plan must be altered and refined as required”[7]. The project performance plan will be the part of the wheel of life in a plan while a maximum of the work has done to produce the best outcome also the maximum time the project economical stage will be exhausted.
