Once causes of delay are identified, data collection would be the first step to be done to decide the best fitted continuous  distribution  based  on  how  much  data  available  which  will  be  used  as  input variables in probabilistic-based model. Then, the Monte Carlo simulation would be used to predict theprobability of output, in other words, to predict the probability of occurring delay and  delay  hours  in  installation  of  jacket.  After  that,  the  practical  response  plan  regarding delay would be decided in term of different options. Finally, this study would end up with the comparison of money loss caused by delay and implementation cost to prepare according response plan. The proposed systematical procedure above was applied to installation of 4-legs jacket installation as a case study of this paper.The  result  of  this  study  can  be  applied  for  both  in  project  planning  and  strategic  decision making to prevent the liquidate damage or penalty in bidding stage. Finally, the case study shows that the proposed procedure could be used as a powerful tool to reduce or deal with delay and it could be a very helpful information for decision maker. 0aOffshore structuresxDesign and constructionxDecision making1 aChiu, Gregory L.F.,eChairperson1 aBoswell, Laurence F.,eExamination committee  0 aSarunphong Articharte,eExamination committee2 aGreater Mekong Subregion (GMS),eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
