Abstract

This chapter demonstrates project system dynamics (SD) models that mirror the Monte Carlo L-SCRA models developed in Chapter 5 (project Zemblanity). Historic overview of project system dynamics is undertaken: from claims and dispute resolutions to modelling of project rework cycles and project changes. Approaches to model extra risk-related works, out-of-sequence works, impacts on productivity of works, etc. are introduced. Three SD models are built that combine engineering and construction rework cycles (the two-rework-cycle models). The first is a risk-free model to become aligned with the project Zemblanity schedule. The second is a model that takes into account only quality-related risks. The third factors in all risks of project Zemblanity. Results of the SD modelling demonstrate good alignment with L-SCRA Monte Carlo outcomes and explain reasons for a non-linear behaviour of the project Zemblanity system. All three workable SD models are available on the book’s companion website.
