Possibility to use decision-making methods for project management information system

Project management in today's world is an important task that requires constant decision-making to successfully complete projects. Project Management Information Systems (IMS) help with this, but their ability to use decision-making methods is often limited and the decision-making process itself is the responsibility of the project manager or other stakeholders. However, the use of decision-making techniques can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of project management by considering various factors and alternatives. In the course of the study, an analysis of decision-making methods, such as the method of decision-making based on data, the method of optimization, the method of selecting scenarios, the method of prioritization, the method of balancing resources, the method of multi-criteria analysis, was carried out for the possibility of integration into the modules of the IMS to improve project management. The classification of project management information systems based on modules is also presented and described and a description of these modules is provided. As a result, it is found that the method of selecting scenarios, the method of prioritization and the method of multi-criteria analysis can be effectively used in separate, defined, modules for decision-making in the project environment. Integrating these methods into the IMS can help project managers make better decisions that meet the needs and goals of the project. This study confirms the importance of using decision-making techniques in IMS to improve project management. The integration of these methods will reduce risks, optimize costs and increase management efficiency. These findings stimulate further development of the functionality of the IMS and contribute to further research in this area.

Postpartum hemorrhage champions: Sustaining gains beyond the E-MOTIVE Trial

Background: Results published from the E-MOTIVE trial concluded that for women undergoing vaginal delivery, early detection of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), combined with bundled treatment of PPH, reduced severe PPH and associated adverse outcomes. Eighty hospitals across Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa and over 210,000 women participated in the randomized trial, which was designed to assess the effect of implementing the E-MOTIVE intervention to detect and treat PPH. The results showed that the use of calibrated collection drapes dramatically increased the PPH detection rate, from 51% to 93%, and the use of the WHO-recommended bundle of treatments, from 19% to 91%. Moreover, implementing the E-MOTIVE approach to treat PPH resulted in a 60% reduction in severe PPH. The median blood loss, the need for postpartum blood transfusion, and the number of maternal deaths were also reduced. The E-MOTIVE trial trained a pool of PPH champions across the intervention facilities, including nurses, midwives, medical officers, and obstetrics and gynecology specialists. Their roles were to coordinate the training and practice activities of all relevant labor ward staff in their hospitals, observe labor ward staff practices, and provide specific feedback for targeted improvements in implementing the E-MOTIVE bundle correctly by reviewing regular performance indicators and outcome data from their hospitals to assess if improvements were needed. Methods: After the study findings, the Kenyan hub team continued tracking the performance of the facilities after the trial, without any active support. The PPH champions collected, discussed at the facility level, and shared data with the Kenyan hub team monthly. The data shared were included in the hub Project Management Information System and triangulated with data from DHIS, where it was analyzed by the Kenyan study team, and feedback was shared at the facility level. Results: Data analyzed from the last quarter (September-November) showed that seven E-MOTIVE implementing facilities maintained 5% PPH rates (blood loss >500 mls) and 2% severe PPH rates on moving averages. All components of the E-MOTIVE bundle were provided 100% to all PPH cases detected. During the same period, three maternal deaths were reported that had causes other than bleeding from PPH. Conclusion: Having PPH champions community of practice can help sustain best practices in the early detection and treatment of PPH beyond any project lifeline. It is a simple and cost-effective method that can prevent severe PPH and prevent maternal mortality arising from PPH.

Management of the effectiveness of investment planning using economic and mathematical modeling

Introduction. When solving optimal tasks at the stage of technical and economic planning, it is necessary to establish an optimality criterion, which is mathematically written as an objective function. Minimization of the duration of the project works during its implementation within the time limit set by the investor is such a criterion in the formulation of our task. By limitations of the model, we understand such conditions, which are expressed in the limitation of resources both quantitatively and qualitatively: hence the problem of their saving, the best distribution, and effective use arises.Goal consists in the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the concept of managing the effectiveness of investment planning with the use of economic and mathematical modelingResearch methods. In the research process, general scientific and special methods of cognition were used: analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization and formal logic, system approach, classification, statistical analysis, functional-value analysis, generalization, observation, mathematical statistics, simulation and network modeling, specification, technical and economic calculationsResults. It was found that with the help of the proposed technology «Flow» it is possible to determine: the calendar schedule of works for the optimal version of the project implementation; the calendar dates of the start and end of critical works, on which the duration of the entire project depends; actual project implementation costs. The value of the objective function shows what additional costs are necessary for the implementation of the investment project in a given period. It has been proven that the «Flow» technology allows you to determine the value of the model and, in our opinion, demonstrates the improvement of the existing solution to the tasks of project implementation within the given time and ensures the compatibility and unity of information support, and therefore allows you to receive more reliable data. The main advantages of the proposed method were evaluated: availability of raw data; a calculation algorithm that is understandable to any project participant; clarity of results; connection in a single model of the economic interests of the main participants of the project.Perspectives. Further research should be aimed at carrying out a continuous process of qualitative and quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of the project management information system and the need to create a special organizational unit - a strategic committee, which will allow the creation of mechanisms for effective management of investment projects of the territorial community, to achieve its strategic goals, and will also contribute to the implementation of strategies due to the consistent actions of the community investment development management staff.

Algorithm for finding subcritical paths on network diagrams

Objectives . Network diagrams are used as an information support element in planning and project management processes for structuring planned work and calculating project efficiency characteristics. In order to optimize and balance resources used in projects, it becomes necessary to locate in these models not only the critical path of the maximum weighted length, but also the subcritical paths closest to it having a shorter length in relation to it. The aim of the work is to synthesize and analyze an algorithm for finding k -shortest paths between the input and output network vertices, on which basis the above-mentioned subcritical paths can be identified. Methods . The provisions of graph theory and group theory, as well as the method of dynamic programming, were used. Results . An algorithm for finding k- shortest paths in contourless directed graphs having a strict order relation was developed. Abstract elements were defined according to group theory in graphs as p- contours, between which a multilevel structure of relations for implementing the necessary search of paths was then established. For substantiating the efficiency of the constructed algorithm, the validity of the main provisions was demonstrated as follows: firstly, the multilevel system of relations is exhaustive; secondly, there is no loss in the final solution during the operation of the algorithm; thirdly, the paths obtained as a result of the work of the algorithm satisfy the main required relation between them. Numerically, the algorithm was implemented by the dynamic programming method extended by means of an additional functional relationship, implying the presence of suboptimal policies. Conclusions . The conducted runs of computational experiments confirmed the operability and efficiency of the software-implemented algorithm. The performed analysis demonstrated the good convergence characteristics of the proposed algorithm as compared with other algorithms of this class applied to network diagrams. On this basis, it can be recommended for practical use in project management information systems.
