Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avoid common pitfalls in large-scale projects using these smart strategies Over half of large-scale engineering and construction projects—off-shore oil platforms, chemical plants, metals processing, dams, and similar projects—have miserably poor results. These include billions of dollars in overruns, long delays in design and construction, and poor operability once finally completed. Industrial Megaprojects gives you a clear, nontechnical understanding of why these major projects get into trouble, and how your company can prevent hazardous and costly errors when undertaking such large technical and management challenges. Clearly explains the underlying causes of over-budget, delayed, and unsafe megaprojects Examines effects of poor project management, destructive team behaviors, weak accountability systems, short-term focus, and lack of investment in technical expertise Author is the CEO of the leading consulting firm for evaluating billion-dollar projects Companies worldwide are rethinking their large-scale projects. Industrial Megaprojects is your essential guide for this rethink, offering the tools and principles that are the true foundation of safe, cost-effective, successful megaprojects.

Download or read book Construction Management for Industrial Projects written by Mohamed A. El-Reedy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents techniques for effective and successful project management across all phases of the project, covering all of the management tools and leadership skills for any industrial project, from the beginning of the project, through the feasibility study, execution, and through to operations and maintenance strategy. This book presents advanced modern tools for use by management and engineers in decision making, and it covers the gap between project management theories of the actual project. All statistical tools and probability distributions are discussed for use in the qualitative risk assessment of the project. The Monte-Carlo simulation technique is presented as a tool for risk assessment in the feasibility study phase and the construction management skills that are required on site to control the different parameters that affect quality, time and cost are discussed. The new concept of the total building commissioning technique will be presented, as well, a new method that is not covered in other volumes. Moreover, all the methods that are used in the economic analysis and the evaluation between alternatives are illustrated. The planning and scheduling of the project are illustrated by the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). The control of resources and costs are very important issues that are covered in the book, and these provide the main tools for controlling and monitoring the performance of the project. Tendering, bidding and contracting methods are critical issues in any project due to their impact on the project performance and are discussed along with different methods and ways for dealing with these issues worldwide and on international projects. Resources organization and ways for enhancing project performance by controlling individual attitudes are very important issues that are clarified. Finally, managing project risk is the main tool for a successful project, so all the techniques for risk analysis, assessment and evaluation is presented. This volume is a "one-stop shop" for project and construction management of industrial projects, for engineers, managers, owners, and anyone else working on the project.

Download or read book Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man Hour Analysis written by Kenneth Storm and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man-Hour Analysis focuses on industrial process plants and enables the estimator to apply statistical applications, estimate data tables, and estimate sheets to use methods for collecting, organizing, summarizing, presenting, and analyzing historical man-hour data. The book begins with an introduction devoted to labor, productivity measurement, collection of historical data, verification of data, estimating methods, and factors affecting construction labor productivity and impacts of data. It goes on to explore construction statistics and mathematical spreadsheets, followed by detailed scopes of work ranging from coal-fired power plants to oil refineries and solar plants, among others. Man-hour schedules based on historical data collected from past installations in industrial process plants are also included as well as a detailed glossary, Excel and mathematical formulas, area and volume formulas, metric/standard conversions, and boiler man-hour tables. Industrial Process Plant Construction Estimating and Man-Hour Analysis aids industrial project managers, estimators, and engineers with the level of detail and practical utility for today's industrial operations and is an ideal resource for those involved in engineering, technology, or construction estimation. Identify quantity differences with the comparison method and eliminate impacts between proposed and previously installed equipment Understand how to implement statistical and estimating methods, scopes of work, man-hour tables and estimate sheets to produce direct craft man-hour estimates, RFPs, and field change orders Set up and utilize Excel templates to automate statistical functions that will perform mathematical applications key to process plant construction

Download or read book Development of the Project Definition Rating Index PDRI for Small Industrial Projects written by Wesley A. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project teams expend substantial effort to develop scope definition during the front end planning phase of large, complex projects, but oftentimes neglect to sufficiently plan for small projects. An industry survey administered by the author showed that small projects make up 70-90 percent (by count) of all projects in the industrial construction sector, the planning of these project varies greatly, and that a consistent definition of "small industrial project" did not exist. This dissertation summarizes the motivations and efforts to develop a non-proprietary front end planning tool specifically for small industrial projects, namely the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) for Small Industrial Projects. The author was a member of Construction Industry Institute (CII) Research Team 314, who was tasked with developing the tool in May of 2013. The author, together with the research team, reviewed, scrutinized and adapted an existing industrial-focused FEP tool, the PDRI for Industrial Projects, and other resources to develop a set of 41 specific elements relevant to the planning of small industrial projects. The author supported the facilitation of five separate industry workshops where 65 industry professionals evaluated the element descriptions, and provided element prioritization data that was statistically analyzed and used to develop a weighted score sheet that corresponds to the element descriptions. The tool was tested on 54 completed and in-progress projects, the authors analysis of which showed that small industrial projects with greater scope definition (based on the tools scoring scheme) outperformed projects with lesser scope definition regarding cost performance, schedule performance, change performance, financial performance, and customer satisfaction. Moreover, the author found that users of the tool on in-progress projects overwhelmingly agreed that the tool added value to their projects in a timeframe and manner consistent with their needs, and that they would continue using the tool in the future. The author also developed an index-based selection guide to aid PDRI users in choosing the appropriate tool for use on an industrial project based on distinguishing project size with indicators of project complexity. The final results of the authors research provide several contributions to the front end planning, small projects, and project complexity bodies of knowledge.
