- Abstract
- The purpose of this study is: 1. To obtain data to refine the components of the Objectives Matrix, to provide recommended values for criteria weights, sub-criteria weights, and benchmark values (levels 0, 3, and 10) that may be used, by a company with no history of past projects; 2. To provide insight into subjective sub-criteria; 3. To make suggestions for additional quantifiers; 4. To suggest adjustment factors for project variables. Considerable data from many types of projects are needed to develop norms for values of sub-criteria. Such norms are presented in the following chapters. The opinions of owners, designers and constructors have been collected and are presented. Meaningful weights, benchmark values, suggested quantifiers, the subjective sub-criteria, and a means to modify the performance index and benchmark levels for different project scenarios are discussed. Piping was the focus of this report in an effort to set a pattern for future studies in other areas.
