Abstract

This study introduces a mathematical treatment to the triangle of management to be used numerically as a tool in measuring the performance of projects in view of the adopted priorities during executing phases of the projects. The actual outputs of construction projects are usually deviated from planned targets by more or less. If a group of projects within a unique attitude are considered , a trend can be investigated representing the biased efforts to one of the three targets : delivering the project on time , in the planned cost and in the specified quality. This study showed that the triangle of management can be used to represent graphically the performance of the construction projects. From this representation the managerial priorities can be obtained. The deviations from the ideal case can be obtained also . An application is made on fifty construction projects executed in Iraq . Results showed that quality is the first priority followed by time and the last priority is the cost requirement . The mean value of the deviation in all construction projects is 18.5 which is reflecting the unbalancing in priorities.
