System dynamics in project management: assessing the impacts of quality failure on project performance

It is common in pressure vessel manufacturing to face time completion issue during fabrication process. Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) also facing this difficulties as refer to their ISO audit summary. Mainly almost 50% of the projects are delivered later than the contractual dates.
