Abstract
In organizations, one of the biggest challenges lies in strategic decision-making. In the case of Project Portfolio Management, companies have been incorporating classic tools to reduce uncertainty in this process. This document proposes a new model based on system dynamics, with a different approach to classic strategic project management models. Initially a conceptual model constructed using the root definition of the "Soft System Methodology", proposed by the causal relationships proposed by Peter Chekland and Peter Senge, is proposed. Subsequently, the flow model built on the basis of what is proposed by Jhon Sterman is presented. The model translates the interactions of strategic thinking, project portfolio management, project management and production management into a mathematical model that explains the forms of growth and decline in the real system. It was applied in the Colombian poultry sector in order to validate it. The model is a virtual learning environment that reduces uncertainty in strategic decision-making associated with project portfolios.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Research and Technology (JART) is a bimonthly open access journal that publishes papers on innovative applications, development of new technologies and efficient solutions in engineering, computing and scientific research. JART publishes manuscripts describing original research, with significant results based on experimental, theoretical and numerical work.
The journal does not charge for submission, processing, publication of manuscripts or for color reproduction of photographs.
JART classifies research into the following main fields:
-Material Science:
Biomaterials, carbon, ceramics, composite, metals, polymers, thin films, functional materials and semiconductors.
-Computer Science:
Computer graphics and visualization, programming, human-computer interaction, neural networks, image processing and software engineering.
-Industrial Engineering:
Operations research, systems engineering, management science, complex systems and cybernetics applications and information technologies
-Electronic Engineering:
Solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, power electronics, electronic devices and circuits and automation.
-Instrumentation engineering and science:
