| Résumé : | Most of the EPC projects are implemented by project oriented joint ventures. Joint ventures are means of accessing resources held by other organizations. Correct partner selection may facilitate innovations in construction technology, reduce the project's cost and time, and increase the performance of the EPC projects. This paper attempts to develop a step by step decision making model for engineering partner selection process. The problem of selecting appropriate engineering company is a multi criteria decision that has many uncertainties in its nature. The model takes into account consultant’s relationships with project stakeholders, its proposed commission fee, and its managerial and technical capabilities. The paper describes a fuzzy analytical hierarchy (AHP) model which constitutes a quantitative estimation methodology that can be used to select engineering partner for construction companies. A numerical case with a sensitivity analysis is presented to demonstrate the application of the model in real cases. The model can be used widely by key decision makers of construction companies who are looking for appropriate engineering partners. |
