Abstract

This study presents a customized root cause analysis approach to investigate the reasons, provide improvements measures for the cost overruns, and schedule slippage in paper-machine-building projects. The proposed approach is an analytical-survey approach that uses both actual technical data and experts’ opinions. Various analysis tools are embedded in the approach including: data collection and clustering, interviews with experts, 5-Whys, Pareto charts, cause and eﬀect diagram, and critical ratio control charts. The approach was implemented on seven projects obtained from a leading international paper machine sup- plier. As a result, it was found that the main causes behind cost and schedule deviations are products’ related; including technical accidents in the Press section, damaged parts, de- sign issues, optimization of the machine and missing parts. Based on the results, prevention measures were perceived.

为纸机制造项目的成本超支和进度延误提供定制的根本原因分析方法

本研究提出一种客制化的根本原因分析方法，探讨纸机制造项目成本超支和进度延误的原因，并提供改善措施。提出的方法是一种分析调查方法，使用实际技术数据和专家意见。该方法中嵌入了各种分析工具，包括:数据收集和聚类、专家访谈、5- why、帕累托图、因果关系图和临界比率控制图。该方法已在从一家国际领先的纸机供应商获得的七个项目中实施。结果发现，造成成本和进度偏差的主要原因是与产品相关的;包括冲压部分的技术事故，损坏的零件，设计问题，机器的优化和缺失的零件。根据结果，感知预防措施。

期刊介绍： Management and Production Engineering Review (MPER) is a peer-refereed, international, multidisciplinary journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in production engineering and management. Production engineering is a currently developing stream of science encompassing planning, design, implementation and management of production and logistic systems. Orientation towards human resources factor differentiates production engineering from other technical disciplines. The journal aims to advance the theoretical and applied knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, with a special focus on production management, organisation of production processes, management of production knowledge, computer integrated management of production flow, enterprise effectiveness, maintainability and sustainable manufacturing, productivity and organisation, forecasting, modelling and simulation, decision making systems, project management, innovation management and technology transfer, quality engineering and safety at work, supply chain optimization and logistics. Management and Production Engineering Review is published under the auspices of the Polish Academy of Sciences Committee on Production Engineering and Polish Association for Production Management.
