FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUCCESS OF MANUFACTURING PROJECTS - A STUDY AT ENTERPRISES IN SOUTH-EASTERN REGION

Abstract

The objective of the study is to identify the factors that affect the success of projects in the manufacturing sector of enterprises in the Southeast region. The research model proposes 8 factors that influence the success of a manufacturing project including project mission, senior management support, project planning, customer consultation, staff capacity, technical work, communication and problem solving. The study was conducted through 2 steps: qualitative preliminary research and quantitative official research. The results of qualitative research in addition to adjusting the content of measurement scales, have added an observation variable to the measurement scale of technical work. The study collected 203 samples from managers / executives, executive engineers and project office staff who were involved in manufacturing projects. The results of the reliability evaluation of the measurement scales show that the scales are all reliable (Cronbach's Alpha is greater than 0.7. Results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) show that there are 9 factors extracted with 30 observation variables. The results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) show that the measurement scales are all unidirectional, convergent validity, composite reliability and discriminant validity. The results of the testing of structure model show that only the relationship between senior management support and the success of the manufacturing project is not supported, the remaining relationships are supported. In addition to the theoretical significance, this result also helps project managers to identify those factors that have a positive impact on the success of projects in the manufacturing sector, from which There are more effective management policies in project management
