| The energy conservation and environmental protection industry is an emerging industry with sustained and robust development supported by the state,and it is generally dedicated to the development of the government’s infrastructure.As a result,the application of the BOT model to the environmental protection industry has gained popularity in the face of government fiscal deficits and a more chaotic financing situation.Given that parallel construction of multiple projects has become the norm,and that environmental BOT projects are characterized by a phased,lengthy and risky schedule,they are prone to competition for resources such as personnel,funds and time over the same period.In this case,Company A has been using a traditional single project management model,which has resulted in a delay in the schedule of individual projects during the same period.And it’s not just Company A.Multi-project schedule management is a problem for many companies today.In multi-project management,the dual constraints of time and resources pose a huge challenge to schedule management.In this paper,we provide an in-depth study of project scheduling in multi-project management of Company A.based on the theory of multi-project priority and key chains.First,we analyze the organizational structure and schedule management process of Company A.We analyze the current schedule management of Company A with the characteristics of BOT project schedule management.Second,the paper generates generic WBS graphs and identifies critical paths.Then.critical chain theory is used to optimize schedule planning,identify critical chains for multiple projects,and establish buffer zones to absorb the risk of process delays,enabling real-time dynamic management of the entire project schedule.If the construction period still does not meet the requirements,the bottleneck process can be optimized.Finally,the mechanism of multi-project schedule management of Company A will be established and the management execution level and organizational structure of Company A will be improved to ensure the smooth operation of the entire multi-project schedule management process.Its case application results show that established multi-item priority evaluation systems and schedule planning management systems reasonably compress the critical chain duration by compressing the single-task duration and aggregating the safety time.This thesis optimizes the logical relationship of task processes and the number of resources through constrained resource identification so that the project ultimately meets the schedule requirements.In this paper,we extend and complement the theoretical knowledge of BOT projects by studying the multi-project schedule management of Company A.On the one hand,we develop a multi-project schedule management model that is applicable to the BOT model of energy conservation and environmental protection.This constitutes an innovation in the field of schedule management research and is of some theoretical interest.On the other hand,it can provide a different idea of multi-project schedule management for similar energy-saving and environmentally friendly BOT projects,and make up for the deficiencies in schedule management for energy-saving and environmentally friendly projects.This facilitates the promotion of the BOT model and enables innovation in the environmental protection industry and BOT projects.The results of this study are relevant and applicable to additional environmental protection companies with similar business characteristics,and provide theoretical and practical references for project schedule management. |
