Project Selection
![Page 8: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• “Projectized” organization, all work is a project.– But may have some special issues see below
• Functional organization– Must decide if can be done within the
functional area. – If so, project might not be needed, but see
below
![Page 9: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Project Selection
• Values, Vision, and Mission
• Objectives and Goals
• Strategy
• Programs and Projects
![Page 10: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Project SelectionGeneral Concepts
• Will there be a customer?• Will the project survive competition?
– Internal projects– External
• Is the need for the project recognized as supporting company strategy?
• Can company handle the risk and uncertainty?
![Page 11: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Note!!
• The following applies to components and engineering decisions within a project as well.
• If they warrant it
![Page 12: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Ultimately provide return on investment?
• How about the future?
![Page 13: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Project Selection
• Criteria for PS Models• Nature of PS Models• Types of PS Models• Uncertainty Analysis and Risk
Management• Information Base for PS Models• Project Proposal
![Page 14: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Overview of PS Process
• Decision Makers: Who will align corporate needs and project goals
• Project Selection: Chose candidate project using Evaluation Criteria
• Dealing with Uncertainty: Risk Analysis• Strategically selecting best Projects: Project
Portfolio Process (PPP)• Locking up the deal: Writing a Project
Proposal
![Page 15: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Nature of PS models:Caveats
• Project decisions are made by managers --- NOT by PS model!
• A PS model APPROXIMATES, but does NOT DUPLICATE reality!
![Page 16: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nature of PS Models:Method
• Start with detailed list of firm’s goals
• Create list of project evaluation factors (PEF’s)
• Weigh every element in PEF list
• Compute an overall score for project based on weighted PEF’s
• Select project that has the closest alignment with firm’s goals
![Page 17: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Project Evaluation Factors (PEFs)
• Who decides??
• Production Factors
• Marketing Factors
• Financial Factors
• Personnel Factors
• Administrative and Misc. Factors
![Page 18: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nonnumeric PS Models:
• Sacred Cow• Operating Necessity• Competitive Necessity• Product Line Extension• Comparative Benefit
Model
![Page 19: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Numeric PS Models:Profit / Profitability
• Average Rate of Return
• Discounted Cash Flow (NPV)
• Internal Rate of Return• Benefit/Cost (Profitability Index)
• Other Profitability Models
![Page 20: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Choosing the PS Model
• Dependent on wishes and philosophy of management
• 80% of Fortune 500 firms choose “nonnumeric” PS models
• Firms with outside funding often chose scoring PS models
• Firms without outside funding often chose profit / profitability PS models
![Page 21: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Management of Risk:Terminology
• Risk: Decision based on complete information about the probability of each possible outcome.
• Uncertainty: Decision based on incomplete or insufficient data.
• Game: Decision based under conditions of conflict.
![Page 22: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Areas of Uncertainty
• Project timing & expected cash flow.
• Direct outcome of project, i.e. what exactly will the project accomplish
• Side effects and unforeseen consequences of project
![Page 23: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PS Models
• Idealized view of reality
• Representing the STRUCTURE of the problem, not the detail
• Deterministic or stochastic
![Page 24: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Numeric PS Models:Scoring
• Unweighted 0-1 Factor Model
• Unweighted Factor Scoring Model
• Weighted Factor Scoring Model
• Constrained Weighted Factor Scoring Model
• S = ∑(x)
• S = ∑(s)
• S = ∑(s·w)
• S = ∑(s·w) ∏(c)• [Handout]

Preliminary• Get resources to bid the job• Decide if you will bid• Get plans, get on bidders list• Engineer’s estimate reasonable• Broad brush estimate, schedule• Subcontracting strategy• Consider your resources
• Call your bonding company• Do you still want to bid?
![Page 48: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Attend the pre-bid meeting!

Estimate• Manager allocates work• Be sure subs will bid• Take off major installed equipment
Check delivery timesBarge schedules
Schedule for quoteCheck delivery options, FOB
• Take off quantities• Special matters• Pre-bid fly over• Hire consultants• Do your own borings?
![Page 50: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

• Escalate?
• CPI, ENR– Felix work

All methods
• Is production rate average or high?
• Where do you put you operating factor?
• Read the front!
• Check contract for delays, risk
• Liquidated damages
• Experience with owner, location, etc.
![Page 56: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Do you still want to bid??!!
• If so, secure bonding and financing
• Prepare bid documents with prices blank
![Page 57: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• Check subs and major suppliers again?• When, to the minute, will they give you the
price?• How?• • Develop plan for bid delivery.• Communications• Time
![Page 58: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Post bid
• Protest?
• Negotiations
• Intelligence?
• When is a deal a deal?
![Page 59: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Plan for changes
• Pre-job photos and videos
• Documenting changes
• Know the contract
• Document everything
![Page 60: Project Selection, Economics, Estimating](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681594d550346895dc68a9a/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Ethics
• Never lie, cheat, or participate in any dishonest act• Admit your mistakes forthrightly, if they are mistakes• More often, just state the facts, without blaming
anyone, yourself included• Don’t “trade on the specifications” unless it is in
writing • Nothing unethical about asking for what you have
coming!• Or demanding, if the situation warrants it.
