PROJECT MANAGEMENT OF BALAD`S MAJOR SEWERAGE SYSTEM BY USING THE GOAL PROGRAMMING METHOD

Abstract

The project of balad's major sewerage system is one of the biggest projects who is still in progress in salahulddin province provincial - development plan that was approved in 2013 . This project works in two parts ; the 1st is installing the sewerage networks (both of heavy sewerage & rain sewerage) and the 2nd is installing the life – off units (for heavy sewerage & rain sewerage , as well) . the directorate of salahuiddin is aiming that at end of construction it will be able to provide services for four residential quarters , one of the main challenges that project's management experience is how to achieve these projects in the determined time , added cost and technical specifications although the majority of these projects have been managed with predetermined time and financial resources limits , they still need some improved strategies and more careful calculation in their time and cost management. This project was chosen for the following reasons , The first reason is that the project is currently stopped, because of the security and financial circumstances in salahulddin province in particular .this is a great manage time and cost when the work is resumed , and the second reason is during the progress of the project, the until it was stopped, the completion percentage was behind what it was planned originally . this highlights the need to study how to avoid these delays in future using a scientific and logical method , and the third reason that the project has many variables that affect the progress, which are of great importance for scientific and mathematical methods . To achieve this purpose the project was studied using modern scientific and mathematical methods , which are the curved part method (CPM) for project's real and accelerated timing the Primavera V6 software and the AutoCAD 2015 software . the goal is to benefit from these methods and software to establish a new work schedule for the project . Due to the project's various and clashed (in sometimes) objectives that are have to be accomplished in a limited time , it is very important to be careful and accurate with making the right time . It was highly needed to use an efficient mathematical model that work with all these variables in the limited time allowed and according to their priorities . This mathematical method is called the Goal Programming for multi-objective mathematical models
