1.Objective
This identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes risks affecting the Tehran Urban Railway Project using the DEMATEL method. Key risks are categorized into financial, technical, environmental, and managerial domains. DEMATEL is employed to determine the interdependencies and cause-effect relationships among risks, providing a structured framework for risk mitigation and decision-making.
2.Identify Risks
Gather expert opinions to identify major risks in the project. Examples:
- Financial Risks: Budget overruns, delays in funding.
- Technical Risks: Equipment failure, construction errors.
- Environmental Risks: Soil stability, noise pollution.
- Managerial Risks: Communication breakdowns, insufficient expertise.
- Build a Risk Relationship Matrix:
Experts rate the direct influence of one risk on another using a scale (e.g., 0 for no influence to 4 for very high influence). Example:
|
Risk |
R1 (Budget Overrun) |
R2 (Construction Error) |
R3 (Soil Stability) |
R4 (Communication Breakdown) |
|
R1 |
