A project can be simple or complex. In each case, proven project management processes must be followed. In all cases of project management implementation, control must be exercised in order to assure that project objectives are achieved. This book fills the void that exists in the application of statistical techniques to project control. Althoug

This book presents an integrated systems approach to manufacturing and business enterprise. Topics covered include engineering process, systems modeling, business enterprise, forecasting, inventory management, product design, and project management.

Graduate students need guidance that has little to do with their actual classroom performance. They do a better job with their research programs if a self-paced guide is available to them. This book provides such a guide. It covers topics ranging from how to select an appropriate research problem to how to schedule and execute research tasks. Th

Industrial engineering practitioners don't have to be computational experts. They just have to know where to get the computational resources that they need. This book provides access to computational resources needed by industrial engineers. It consists of several sections that each focus on a particular specialization area of industrial enginee

Global Manufacturing Technology Transfer: Africa-USA Strategies, Adaptations, and Management presents practical strategies for developing and sustaining manufacturing technology transfers. It is particularly useful for helping developing nations achieve and sustain a solid footing of economic development through manufacturing. The book examines Africa and USA trade relations to demonstrate how modern technology innovation strategies can be developed and harmonized to keep a nation moving forward economically. It then explores how to advance existing technical relationships through new and updated approaches.The book uses the case and template of trade relations of Africa and the United States to demonstrate how technology innovation strategies can be developed and harmonized to keep a nation moving forward economically. The author discusses project management tools, highlights manufacturing as the foundation for economic development, and explores lessons learned. He details a systems approach, covering both qualitative and quantitative tools and techniques. Although focusing on Africa-USA technology transfer, the concepts are applicable to other technology transfer relationships.Africa is poised to assume a leading role in global manufacturing. However, the foundation for doing so successfully will depend on the development and sustainability of a reliable manufacturing infrastructure in Africa. A key requirement for this will be new and innovative mechanisms for technology transfer. This book gives you the strategies required to address each technology transfer path as well as new innovative approaches for developing and transferring new technology.

This book presents an integrated systems approach to manufacturing and business enterprise. Topics covered include engineering process, systems modeling, business enterprise, forecasting, inventory management, product design, and project management.

Numerous illustrative examples are presented. Topics covered in the book include PERT/CPM/PDM and extensions, mathematical project scheduling, heuristic project scheduling, project economics, statistical data analysis for project planning, computer simulation, assignment and transportation problems, and learning curve analysis.

A project can be simple or complex. In each case, proven project management processes must be followed. In all cases of project management implementation, control must be exercised in order to assure that project objectives are achieved. This book fills the void that exists in the application of statistical techniques to project control. Although designed as a practical guide for project management professionals, the book will also benefit students, researchers, and instructors.

This book presents the mathematical foundation for building and implementing industrial control systems. It contains mathematically rigorous models and techniques for control systems in general with specific orientation toward industrial systems. Industrial control encompasses several types of control systems. This book covers some common elements of industrial control systems, including supervisory control and data acquisition systems, distributed control systems, and other generic control system configurations such as programmable logic controllers, which are often found in industrial operations and engineering infrastructure.

Provides various computational resources needed by industrial engineers. This book focuses on particular specialization areas of industrial engineering, such as basic and engineering math, production engineering, engineering economics, ergonomics, systems and data engineering, project engineering, and simulation and statistical calculations.

Presenting a step-by-step approach to managing projects in science, technology, and engineering, this book uses time-tested concepts of the Project Management Body of Knowledge. It combines managerial, organizational, and quantitative techniques into a logical sequence of project implementation steps.
