Abstract

The projects that the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways, in the form of EPC, are entrusted to parent company companies, are among the most important projects in Iran. In the meantime, the problems in the various phases of the project, including the engineering phase, the procurement phase, and the implementation phase, are very controversial in the project's main factors, such as project time, project cost, and project quality, and it is very important to provide solutions for them. In this research, after identifying delays in Iranian Railways projects, their hierarchical analysis will be applied to their prioritization. Usually many of the country's development projects are delayed, and these delays have many effects. Increasing project completion time, increasing project costs, not achieving the required quality, including the consequences of delay. These problems can cause disagreements between project stakeholders and all require time, cost and energy. Therefore, identifying and prioritizing delays in rail project projects is a prerequisite for the implementation of this research. The research gaps in these studies reveal the need for this research.
