Abstract
Abstract This research investigated the causes of delays in offshore wind projects, categorizing, and ranking these factors using statistical analysis. The study presented was based on the analysis of 208,140 historical data points from seven different cases, investigating both the onshore and offshore on-site assembly locations. The findings revealed that the dominant delay factor is ‘planning’ at the onshore assembly location and ‘previous task’ at the offshore assembly location. This challenges the current perception that weather is the dominant cause of delay in offshore wind projects. This analysis and its results categorize and rank delay factors between on-site assembly locations, proffering a better understanding and insights into this domain. This is relevant to both academics and practitioners, not only in on- and off-shore wind projects but also in other project types handling remote or multiple assembly locations.
期刊介绍:
Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
