Purpose

This research has been carried out to study the impact of critical success factors (CSFs) on successful project management of projects in the manufacturing sector. These success factors will pave the way for the successful completion of projects for the manufacturing sector. CSFs play a vital role in the timely conclusion of projects in any organization. For the projects to be successful certain essential factors must be taken into account. These essential factors are identified through this research.

Design/methodology/approach

During this study an adaptive survey of the literature was conducted, after a detailed literature review certain success factors were identified for project management in the manufacturing sector. The number of success factors was reduced to 40 factors based on the level of incidence in the literature. The length of the questionnaire was also given due importance to make the survey more interesting and effective. After that Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was employed to screen the most essential factors. In the end, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (FAHP) was used to rank these factors in order of importance.

Findings

Project Manager Leadership Skills, Economic Environment, Top Management Support, Project Planning, Clear and realistic Goals, and Financial Support have come out to be the most important CSFs for successful project management in the manufacturing sector.

Originality/value

This is novel research to identify CSFs for project management in the manufacturing sector. Previously, most of the studies remained focused on construction and software projects.

确定制造业成功项目管理的关键成功因素 (CSF)

 目的

本研究旨在研究关键成功因素 (CSF) 对制造业项目成功管理的影响。这些成功因素将为制造业项目的成功完成铺平道路。在任何组织中，CSF 对于及时完成项目都发挥着至关重要的作用。为了使项目取得成功，必须考虑某些重要因素。通过这项研究确定了这些重要因素。

设计/方法论/途径

在本研究期间，对文献进行了适应性调查，在详细的文献回顾之后，确定了制造业项目管理的某些成功因素。根据文献中的发生率水平，成功因素的数量减少到 40 个。调查问卷的长度也得到了应有的重视，以使调查更加有趣和有效。然后采用模糊德尔菲法（FDM）筛选最重要的因素。最后，使用模糊层次分析法（FAHP）对这些因素按重要性顺序进行排序。

 发现

项目经理的领导技能、经济环境、高层管理人员的支持、项目规划、清晰现实的目标以及财务支持已成为制造业项目管理成功的最重要的 CSF。

 原创性/价值

这是一项新颖的研究，旨在确定制造业项目管理的关键成功因素。此前，大多数研究仍然集中在建筑和软件项目上。
