This study presents a customized root cause analysis approach to investigate the reasons, provide improvements measures for the cost overruns, and schedule slippage in papermachine-building projects. The proposed approach is an analytical-survey approach that uses both actual technical data and experts’ opinions. Various analysis tools are embedded in the approach including: data collection and clustering, interviews with experts, 5-Whys, Pareto charts, cause and effect diagram, and critical ratio control charts. The approach was implemented on seven projects obtained from a leading international paper machine supplier. As a result, it was found that the main causes behind cost and schedule deviations are products’ related; including technical accidents in the Press section, damaged parts, design issues, optimization of the machine and missing parts. Based on the results, prevention measures were perceived.

Purpose: In this paper stages of project management taking into consideration many useful tools and methods were presented. The quality management in the project, the risk estimation, costs of the project realization and many others were discussed. The analysis of project management of an element using in an automotive industry was carried out. Design/methodology/approach: In this article classification of the projects was presented. The stages of project management and relations among them were discussed. The special attention was given for selected elements of project management in a selected enterprise. Findings: The team formation, tasks of a manager and a leader of the analyzed project were shown. The methods of quality control in the project and process of the risk management were presented. Moreover methods of time management and costs planning of the project were discussed. Research limitations/implications: Many undertakings cannot be realized without earlier plans. It is very important in case of big projects. The correct planning and a proper project management bring many advantages for organizations. Practical implications: Very often project management is separated only in a planning stage what doesn’t bring an expected effect. To prevent this it is necessary to creation of tools containing necessary conceptual, planning, implementation and control actions. Originality/value: In this paper indicated that the analyzed project was proper managed. Following stages of the project were carried out carefully. In this project many modern methods of project management were used. These methods eliminate threats which can lead to errors in the project realization.
