Risk Management in Engineering and Construction
Author: Stephen Ogunlana
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134019289
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 677
Book Description
Today’s businesses are driven by customer ‘pull’ and technological ‘push’. To remain competitive in this dynamic business world, engineering and construction organizations are constantly innovating with new technology tools and techniques to improve process performance in their projects. Their management challenge is to save time, reduce cost and increase quality and operational efficiency. Risk management has recently evolved as an effective method of managing both projects and operations. Risk is inherent in any project, as managers need to plan projects with minimal knowledge and information, but its management helps managers to become proactive rather than reactive. Hence, it not only increases the chance of project achievement, but also helps ensure better performance throughout its operations phase. Various qualitative and quantitative tools are researched extensively by academics and routinely deployed by practitioners for managing risk. These have tremendous potential for wider applications. Yet the current literature on both the theory and practice of risk management is widely scattered. Most of the books emphasize risk management theory but lack practical demonstrations and give little guidance on the application of those theories. This book showcases a number of effective applications of risk management tools and techniques across product and service life in a way useful for practitioners, graduate students and researchers. It also provides an in-depth understanding of the principles of risk management in engineering and construction.

Systems Engineering
Author: Marlene Hopkins
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781634857529
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book discusses the concepts, tools and applications of systems engineering. Chapter One presents the implementation of automated measuring system for measuring chromatic dispersion (CD). Chapter Two discusses the results regarding the optimisation of phase based EOM (electro optical modulator) as the most important component in CD measurement setup, then investigates the results of CD measurement characterisations based on different lengths of fiber, different wavelengths and different RF frequencies. Chapter Three provides a review on optical waveguide sensor using ion-exchange technology. Chapter Four examines silver nano particle ion-exchanged glass waveguide technology. Chapter Five highlights the major advantages of using graphical modelling languages in a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) context and describes the main features of SysML, the modeling language that the authors believe to be the dialect for MBSE. Chapter Six provides a complex system analysis for engineering of systemic failures.

Software Engineering Processes
Author: Yingxu Wang
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780849323669
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 754
Book Description
Software engineering is playing an increasingly significant role in computing and informatics, necessitated by the complexities inherent in large-scale software development. To deal with these difficulties, the conventional life-cycle approaches to software engineering are now giving way to the "process system" approach, encompassing development methods, infrastructure, organization, and management. Until now, however, no book fully addressed process-based software engineering or set forth a fundamental theory and framework of software engineering processes. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications does just that. Within a unified framework, this book presents a comparative analysis of current process models and formally describes their algorithms. It systematically enables comparison between current models, avoidance of ambiguity in application, and simplification of manipulation for practitioners. The authors address a broad range of topics within process-based software engineering and the fundamental theories and philosophies behind them. They develop a software engineering process reference model (SEPRM) to show how to solve the problems of different process domains, orientations, structures, taxonomies, and methods. They derive a set of process benchmarks-based on a series of international surveys-that support validation of the SEPRM model. Based on their SEPRM model and the unified process theory, they demonstrate that current process models can be integrated and their assessment results can be transformed between each other. Software development is no longer just a black art or laboratory activity. It is an industrialized process that requires the skills not just of programmers, but of organization and project managers and quality assurance specialists. Software Engineering Processes: Principles and Applications is the key to understanding, using, and improving upon effective engineering procedures for software development.
