Project success can be assured by identifying, reducing, and eliminating the impact of profitability barriers; and by understanding and exploring the success factors in order to achieve sustainable profitability of Project Management Consultant (PMC) companies. Currently, practices of project management consultants in the construction industry sector do not always ensure project success. Thus, this paper aims to assess and strengthen the success factors; and overcome profitability barriers to improve effectiveness of project delivery. Using Porter’s five forces model as profitability barriers, areas with the highest impact to sustainable profitability were investigated. Data were gathered through a survey questionnaire and purposive sampling technique was used to select 140 respondents who are working in a project management and consulting company in Doha, Qatar for the year 2016-2017. The findings revealed that profitability barriers such as: power of suppliers, industry competition, and impact of new entrants are correlated to some of the areas of success factors, such as: effective project management, efficient cost leadership, competitive differentiation, and strategic alliances and networking. Sustainable profitability is significantly affected by the power of suppliers, and strategic networking and alliance. Whereas, competitive differentiation significantly affects profitability barriers. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations were given on how to strengthen project success factors and reduce the impact of profitability barriers.

Several studies found that critical asset failure results in delays and downtimes in operation for most industries. One of the studies revealed that 272 of the 773 occurrences involved a critical asset breakdown. Thus, this study aimed to discuss the relevant factors of implementing the Assurance Management System for the industry's selected critical asset. Literature reviews play a significant role in this research through a content analysis review process from different review articles, google scholar, journals, and other social sciences. The result revealed that increasing the organization's knowledge of the processes and asset criticality in the assurance management system offers a high degree of openness to the activities carried out to ensure continued asset reliability and integrity. Relatively, it shows a clear long-term progress pattern of improved equipment reliability, leading to a significant increase in consumer trust due to introducing a system of reliability assurance management. Indeed, the study recommended that implementing an assurance management system is an integral part of the critical asset as it offers trust that the asset will perform as anticipated. Finally, it is an aid in understanding the asset and its relationship between expected and actual performance and efficiency in using a structured approach of the Assurance Management System for Critical Asset, the AMSCAF Framework. Therefore, industry stakeholders should consider the recommendations and best practices to ensure critical asset management systems need to generate value that maintains a competitive advantage in today's highly complicated and challenging market competition through the Assurance Management System.
