Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the project management of industrial services developed by Brazilian companies and their relationship with Critical Success Factors.

Theoretical framework – Through a content analysis, Critical Success Factors were aligned to industrial service management and PMBOK project management guidelines.

Design/methodology/approach – To develop the study, a survey on industrial service project management was carried out on industrial service professionals. Survey data were analyzed through frequency distribution and ranked using the TOPSIS technique.

Findings – The results showed that the companies mentioned use PMBOK guidelines, however, they can be improved. Comparatively, the project schedule management is highlighted; the five CSFs that are considered more relevant are related to the scope, schedule, costs, integration, communications and resource management.

Research, Practical & Social implications – The results provide insights for organizational practices and guide management improvements, showing the main opportunities for improvement in the companies analyzed.

Originality/value – The literature fails to provide an analysis of Brazilian industrial service companies. In this sense, this study provides a valuable contribution to the field.

Keywords: Industrial Services Management; Critical Success Factors; Project Management; Brazil.
