sg-ntu-dr.10356-580632023-03-11T17:16:25Z A system approach to the management of complex projects - the case of deep tunnel sewerage systems Khairur Rahman Yeo Khim Teck School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering DRNTU::Engineering::Mechanical engineering 100 p. The last decade has seen an abundance of research in the area of project management dealing with complex engineering. Despite the progress made to date, challenges still remain in the integration process of systems engineering and project management in complex infrastructure projects. Obtaining an accurate snapshot of complexities in large scale project management is often extremely difficult. This can be attributed to the reason that once the project reaches a critical size, timeframe, level of complexity and inter connectedness, conventional control based approaches simply do not work for the entire project. Different kinds of complexity will require different approaches pertaining to project management methods. It is useful to be able to assess different types of complexity as a pre-requisite to selecting the most appropriate mitigating strategies and responses to manage the project. In this paper, large engineering complex projects will be illustrated through an integrated approach comprising of SSM (Soft Systems Methodology), SE (Systems Engineering) and PM (Project Management) Knowledge Areas. As a result of this inductive approach, the proposed Project Complexity Integrative Framework will provide theoretical and practical perspective to recognize the sources of complexity and to manage the ways to solving the intricacy of the project from inception to development, implementation and closeout phases. This study will be using a real life case study, DTSS - CWRP (The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System - Changi Water Reclamation Project) of Singapore to explain the lessons learned that attributed to integrate Systems Engineering & Project Management.
