“…Despite the importance of time and cost of the construction project, the growing interest in quality management is remarkable [38][39][40], and the measurement of its improvement is now a subject of concern [41]. Productivity and quality are interrelated in industrial engineering, and their management is an integrated and continuous process [42].…”

Despite the constant improvements in the management of building projects, the authors express concerns about the difficulties in controlling progress with construction, despite the availability of quantifiable and non-quantifiable data. They believe that a decision support system would assist managers when confronted by the consequences of arising delays, and by the decision whether and how to accelerate the remaining construction activities. The system has the advantages of providing support when facing an ill-structured decision about accelerating progress when delays occur; it also helps as a predictive management tool for minimizing or avoiding delays and their consequential claims.Malgré les améliorations constantes de l'efficacité de la gestion des projets de construction, les auteurs soulèvent les difficultés causées par le contrôle de la progression de travaux sur chantier en dépit de la disponibilité des données quantifiables et non quantifiables. Ils estiment qu'un système d'aide à la décision pourrait faciliter la tâche des gérants de construction confrontés aux conséquences des retards. Ce système leur permettrait de décider s'il y a lieu d'accélérer le reste des travaux et de quelle façon s'y prendre. Ce système a l'avantage de clarifier des situations ambiguës et mal définies; il peut également être utilisé comme un outil de gestion, permettant d'éviter les retards et les réclamations inévitables qu'ils entraînent.
