Abstract
Dissemination of system dynamics to project management practitioners is
not as widespread as its use for project management theory building within the
system dynamics community. This article presents a decision support and
training project model built for a global consulting and engineering company.
The simulation model comprises the most important work phases within the
detail engineering phase of a large investment project in three offices. The
model was validated using data from several past projects and in workshops
with the company. A user interface was built to aid dissemination and use of
the model. The purpose of the model is the bottleneck analysis and simulation
of an ongoing engineering project, as well as the simulation of quality,
scheduling, and profitability issues when outsourcing parts of the detail
plant engineering.
