Download or read book Project Management for Environmental Construction and Manufacturing Engineers written by Nolberto Munier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a companion to books on project-management theory, this book illustrates, in a down-to-earth, comprehensive style, how to put that theory into practice. In addition to the many examples that illustrate procedures, the book includes over 25 case studies, each one addressing a specific theme. Key topics, such as project selection, negotiations, planning and scheduling, cost and budgeting, project control, human resources, environmental impacts, risk management, and financial evaluation, are discussed, using a step-by-step approach. Beginning at the grassroots level, some cases are solved by hand to illustrate the mechanics of a procedure, while others are solved using advanced computer programs. In this way the reader has a clear idea of the problem, how and when to raise the issue, information needed (and who can provide it), how to solve it by hand, when possible, and also its resolution using the latest informatics tools.
Download or read book ENGINEERING ECONOMICS written by R. PANNEERSELVAM and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 358 pages.

While retaining all the chapters of the previous edition, the book adds a number of topics to make it more comprehensive and more student friendly. What’s New to This Edition • Discusses different types of costs such as average cost, recurring cost, and life cycle cost. • Deals with different types of cost estimating models, index numbers and capital allowance. • Covers the basics of nondeterministic decision making. • Describes the meaning of cash flows with probability distributions and decision making, and selection of alternatives using simulation. • Discusses the basic concepts of Accounting. This book, which is profusely illustrated with worked-out examples and a number of diagrams and tables, should prove extremely useful not only as a text but also as a reference for those offering courses in such areas as Project Management, Production Management, and Financial Management.
