Risk Management in Engineering and Construction
Author: Stephen Ogunlana
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134019297
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 475
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.

The Triumvirate Approach to Systems Engineering, Technology Management and Engineering Management
Author: Thomas J. Day
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100054110X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This text is meant for introductory and midlevel program and project managers, Systems Engineering (SE), Technology Management (TM) and Engineering Management (EM) professionals. This includes support personnel who underpin and resource programs and projects. Anyone who wishes to understand what SE, TM and EM are, how they work together, what their differences are, when they should be used and what benefits should be expected, will find this text an invaluable resource. It will also help students to understand the career paths in innovation and entrepreneurship to choose from. There is considerable confusion today on when and where to use each discipline, and how they should be applied to individual circumstances. This text provides practitioners with the guidelines necessary to know when to use a specific discipline, how to use them and what results to expect. The text clearly shows how the disciplines retain focus of goals and targets, using cost, scope, schedule and risk to their advantage, while complying with and informing investors, oversight and those related personnel who eventually govern corporate or government decisions. It is more of an entry and midlevel general overview instructing the reader how to use the disciplines and when to use them. To use them all properly, more in-depth study is always necessary. However, the reader will know when to start, where to go and what disciplines to employ depending on the product, service, market, infrastructure, system or service under consideration. To date, none of this is available in existing literature. All texts on the subject stretch to try and cover all things, which is simply not possible, even with the definitions assigned by the three disciplines.

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.
