Re-engineering of Georgian railways and optimizing their project management
Abstract
This article discusses the processes of current re-engineering of the Georgian Railway. Georgian Railway was founded in 1865 and its operations started in 1871. It sits on the shortest route between Europe and Central Asia. When we analyze the re-engineering issues of a particular country, we conclude that there is no general recipe on the process of re-engineering in the railway of any country. Decisions which were made in different countries, despite the fact that the approaches to the process of re-engineering were different, the world experience has demonstrated some similar actions that are common for these processes. I would like to present the recommendations and approaches which show the common actions that are useful for all railway administration. The article is built on theoretical and practical issues that will help us to learn about the project management of re-engineering and give an idea how to use it in our future career.
