Proposing a Project Simulation Model Considering Rework

Abstract

A project simulation model considering rework is proposed in this paper. The proposed model can be applied in duration estimation of large and complex projects based on the input extracted from standardized past log data. Tasks and their interdependency, along with the information of available human resources is inputted first, while delay and rework possibility will be extracted. As an output of the proposed model, predicted duration of the simulated project will be calculated, supporting decision making when starting a new project.
