Abstract

This paper presents an integrated model for the evaluation and probabilistic optimisation of project portfolios, integrating economic, social and environmental impacts analysis. The contribution of the proposed model lies in: 1) an extended list of criteria covering economic, social and environmental aspects; 2) use of financial measures, which are easily understood; 3) use of Monte Carlo simulation to cope with variability; 4) use of mathematical optimisation to deal with constraints and/or large amount of information. A practical test carried out in a company is reported and confirms the applicability and usefulness of the model. The integration of approaches for sustainable assessment of business projects and selection and optimisation of project portfolio is deficient in literature. Thereby, the proposed model is presented as an alternative to conduct integrated analysis and define optimal project portfolio for sustainable development in business contexts characterised by uncertainties.

用于评估和优化业务项目组合的集成模型

本文提出了一个综合模型，用于项目组合的评估和概率优化，整合了经济、社会和环境影响分析。拟议模型的贡献在于:1)扩大了涵盖经济、社会和环境方面的标准清单;2)使用易于理解的财务措施;3)利用蒙特卡罗模拟来应对可变性;4)使用数学优化来处理约束和/或大量信息。本文还报道了在某公司进行的实际测试，验证了该模型的适用性和有效性。将商业项目的可持续评估方法与项目组合的选择和优化方法相结合的文献不足。因此，所提出的模型是作为一种替代方案来进行综合分析，并在具有不确定性的商业环境中定义可持续发展的最佳项目组合。[收稿日期:2015年10月26日;修订日期:2017年8月26日;修订日期:2018年3月1日;录用日期:2018年3月1日]

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
