Abstract

In project management, owners seek to choose an appropriate project delivery method, as it is a key project success factor: In this study, a hybrid model using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Rough Sets Theory (RST) is developed to select the most appropriate project delivery method. The factors affecting this selection are determined from a number of benchmarks. With the application of rough sets theory and the development of a new definition for interval indiscernibility relation these factors are reduced to a set of decision criteria in order to form a hierarchical decision-making structure. Employing the rough approximations of the AHP model established, the uncertainties caused by the imprecise data involved in the project delivery method selection could be efficiently managed. An optimization procedure is performed via obtaining upper and lower linear programming models to determine interval priorities for ranking the alternative project delivery systems. The applicability and usefulness of this method will be demonstrated in a real world case study.
