| description | Nowadays, most of the infrastructure project developments undertaken are
complex in nature, demanding greater skill and technologies, fast track work practices, good
decision making and analytical skill, and capabilities to utilize Information Communication
Technologies (ICT) specifically in planning phase. During this stage, a lot of vague
alternatives were found from strategic to operational level. Therefore, it is desirable to find
ways to enhance the efficiency of decision making to avoid such misunderstanding and
conflict within organisation or group of people. Further, this paper discusses an overview and
applicability of Decision Support System (DSS) tools particularly for project management
planning. The main objective of DSS tools is to assist project stakeholders towards better
and efficient decision making. Various DSS tools have been developed in the area of
construction management in every project life cycle. However, most of the tools were found
complicated or it is lack of usability and simplicity. These drawbacks will defeat the purpose
of DSS which is to support decision making process. Thus, a framework of DSS environment
is proposed to overcome previous shortcomings particularly for project management DSS
applications. |
