Article Abstract:
Capital investment projects require careful analysis to determine the probability of success. Managers can use analysis and planning to help control many of the factors that would prevent new projects from being successful. Careful attention needs to be given to identifying those variables that are significant for each project. Often, critical path network analysis is used. PROMAP V is a computer based system from Euro Log Limited that assists in project analysis. The system uses simulation to model the planning and implementation processs. A chart summarizes the PROMAP V system.
