Project management (PM) serves as a vital framework for managing change and maintaining organisational flexibility. Within this framework, the Project Management Office (PMO) acts as a pivotal unit established to apply PM methodologies and drive continuous improvement. Despite the importance of these offices, the human dynamics and contingency features inherent in an organisation often impact manpower utilisation and, by extension, project success. Currently, quantitative research regarding the design and performance of project-based organisations remains sparse. This paper addresses this gap by utilising a PMO as a primary case study. Specifically, work sampling and operations research methodologies were employed to determine precise work content and optimise manpower requirements. The work content was calculated in Standard Man-Hours (SMH) across eleven operational positions. Subsequently, human dynamics parameters were analysed for key decision-making roles, including senior project managers and supervisory posts. The results led to the adoption of a redesigned project management structure for enhanced manpower utilisation. The annual SMH for operation positions (OP) was estimated at 33,515.11, necessitating a strategic increase in personnel from 18 to 22. Detailed adjustments included increasing the count of project managers (from 1 to 2), project procurement officers (from 1 to 2), and project engineers (from 7 to 9). Furthermore, the span of control for senior project managers was optimised from 3 to 4. Under this redesigned framework, manpower utilisation reached a high performance level of 92%. This study concludes that a quantitative approach to organisational design is essential for mitigating work burdens and ensuring resource optimisation within a PMO.
