EXPLORING THE ROLE OF TCQ FACTORS IN ECONOMIC PROJECT SUCCESS

This study examines the interrelationships among the Time, Cost, and Quality (TCQ) dimensions of project performance and their combined influence on economic outcomes. Using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), we identify typical performance patterns and assess whether strong performance in one dimension tends to align with others. The results reveal asymmetric but significant associations among TCQ categories, with quality and time showing a stronger link to profitability than cost. To determine the relative importance of each factor, we apply literature-based statistical indices (QBI?, SDI?, L?), which confirm that quality is the most differentiating dimension, followed by time. These findings offer a data-driven contribution to prioritizing evaluation criteria in project performance assessment.
