Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR) model is an e cient approach to predict cash flow trend. In this study, all risk factors a ecting project management environment have incorporated to predict an accurate project cash flow. Then, a response surface method (RSM) is applied to determine optimal level of risk. The results have successfully implemented through a case study to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.enThis article is published under a Creative Commons License.Gaussian mixture modelProject managementCash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR)Response surface method (RSM)Optimizing cash-flow-at-risk in construction projects : a cost reduction approachArticle
