Dependencies and interdependencies between major risks are becoming a critical issue for large engineering projects. Current project risk analysis and management (PRAM) process does not focus effectively on relationships between risks, even though risks are often not independent in complex projects. As a consequence, we develop a risk dependency analysis (RDA) procedure to support PRAM. It entails three phases: Dependency Identification, Dependency Assessment, and Dependency Quantification. The aim of Dependency Identification is to describe risk dependencies and interdependencies through a design structure matrix (DSM) and gather them in clusters. Dependency Assessment is an unconventional probabilistic approach, which considers risk dependencies as events with their own probabilities, while Dependency Quantification estimates the impact of risk dependencies on project performance. The application of RDA to the Oil & Gas Industry uses a Monte Carlo simulation model, which aims at estimating schedule delays and capital expenditure (CAPEX) overruns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
