• The combined impact of stochastic and correlated activity durations and design uncertainty on project plans 

      Kaut, Michal; Vaagen, Hajnalka; Wallace, Stein William (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Most model based studies on project uncertainty investigate a single source of uncertainty, with a dominant focus on stochastic activity durations. However, another major uncertainty facing engineering projects is that of ...

    • Lean and Flexible Project Delivery 

      Vaagen, Hajnalka; Ballard, Glenn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The average cost and time overrun of frequent changes in ETO and construction projects is high, and with steadily increasing cost constraints, productivity increase is critical for future competitiveness. Successful lean ...
    • Lean principles applied to ship design planning 

      Grytten, Julie Berg (Master thesis, 2019)
      Planlegging bør være et avgjørende element i alle prosjekter, og betydningen av planlegging kan ikke understrekes nok. Til tross for dette er det lett å finne utallige tilfeller av dårlig planlagte og utførte prosjekter. I ...
