A mathematical model for industrial project evaluation

Omega, 1975, vol. 3, issue 5, 595-604

Abstract: Different approaches to the evaluation of alternative industrial projects range from listing of subjective factors for use as guidelines on the one hand to construction of mathematical models with quantitative objective data on the other. This paper presents the method of developing a comprehensive model with all relevant factors, both subjective and objective. The approach used here is to identify and evaluate all important objective and subjective factors on consideration of the macro-level national objectives as well as the micro-economic investment criteria for each alternative project, and to convert them into consistent and dimensionless indices which are finally combined together to yield the appropriate project measure of utility in each case for comprehensive evaluation. Thus, the model, presented here, can provide a new tool for industrial project evaluation and also for establishing priorities among projects competing for allocation of resources.
