Roadmap for the Implementation of a Project Management Model in ASME of Engineering and Turn-key Supply of Industrial Equipment

Sep 12, 2026

Project management is presented as a framework for planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling all project aspects under time, quality, and cost constraints. For small and medium-sized organizations, the study emphasizes integrating factors across the project life cycle. A roadmap consisting of practical guidelines is proposed, built on best practices and methodological standards, and refined using a comprehensive qualitative analysis supported by an interview approach.

Brazilian Journal of Operations & Production Management 13 (2016), pp 252-262 ROADMAP FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROJECT MANAGEMENT MODEL IN ASME OF ENGINEERING AND TURN-KEY SUPPLY OF INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT David Hermidaa; David de la Fuentea; Fernando Garcíaa a University of Oviedo (UNIOVI) -Asturias, Spain ABSTRACT Project management is focused on planning, executing, monitoring and controlling of all aspects of a project, defined as a temporary effort to carry out a unique result, in order to achieve the targets set under the criteria of time, quality and cost restrictions. In a small or medium-sized organization focused on this type of activity, the integration of the various factors involved in the project life cycle is needed. A roadmap developed as a set of guidelines for effective project management, tailored to this type of organizations but based on the existing sets of best practices and methodological standards (traditionally oriented to huge corporations), is pursued in this work through a comprehensive-qualitative analysis added to an interview approach.

INTRODUCTION This work emerges from the idea of structuring the working method in a small or medium-sized organization dedicated to engineering and turnkey supply of industrial equipment and facilities, as a principle of operational improvement, by establishing a repetitive pattern based on a project management model, or “roadmap”, capable of automating the creative work of the management process and the development of the productive work area, minimizing the human factors that may have some negative impact on both the project goals and the overall objectives of the company, and allowing better planning of the projects as well as the production area and the strategic objectives of the organization. In addition, the work also seeks further optimization of the roadmap by applying international standards for process integration. Within an organization whose activity is focused on providing “turnkey” industrial equipment and facilities of ageneralist character, which can cover many technical areas and adopt very different characteristics, often unique for each type of facility or equipment depending on the different conditions or on the needs of each client, the execution of the productive work must necessarily be oriented to projects. This research starts with the assumption that the incorporation of management standards in project management can provide solutions to the problems of quality, time and cost due to the lack of integration of the management system, which can cause numerous problems in projects along its entire value chain. The control of information flows and relationships between the various participants (including their cooperation grade and the ability to forecast the impact of their decisions) directly affect the level of quality, time and cost of the project from the initial time. The main objective of this work is to establish an optimized set of guidelines which integrates a subsequent flowchart (roadmap) as a model adapted to the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and closing of projects in small and medium-sized companies, optimized by applying the best practices contained in the most-globally used methodological standard (PMBOK), and tailored to the particular organization type. Therefore the sub objectives will be: - Automate the “creative part” of the management work process in the production area; - Minimize possible human factors with negative impact on project objectives; - Allow better planning and achievement of the objectives of the organization. The PMBOK standard for Project Management (developed by the Proj

FAQs

What is the core purpose of the proposed roadmap?

To provide a set of guidelines that integrates a roadmap model adapted to project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closing for small and medium-sized companies.

Why focus on SMEs in engineering and turnkey industrial equipment supply?

Because such organizations need better integration of project life-cycle factors and improved planning, while minimizing human factors that can negatively affect project goals and company objectives.

How is PMBOK used in the study?

PMBOK is taken as a reference base to identify processes, relationships, and information flows, supporting the realization and subsequent optimization of the model tailored to the organization type.
