A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Although most engineers are required to work within a systems engineering framework, few possess the skills necessary to manage the product design and development process effectively within this challenging environment. Tackling this problem head on, this combined text/reference both explains key project management concepts and shows how to integrate them successfully into the systems engineering process.

Written by a leading expert in systems engineering, Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management uses a practical and integrative approach to enable readers to understand and implement the basics quickly in a host of key areas including project planning, cost and sensitivity analyses, leadership and team building, requirements analysis and allocation, principles of systems architecting, and more. In the process, the book clarifies the often unclear relationship between project management and systems engineering by demonstrating how systems engineering actually fits into the overall structure of a project.

Packed with real–life examples and up to date with the latest trends in software engineering and integrative management, Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management is the ideal guide for professional technical and engineering managers, and an important resource for students of engineering and business management.

Written by systems engineering expert Dr. Howard Eisner, this combined textbook and reference explains key project management concepts and demonstrates how to apply them to the systems engineering process in order to optimize product design and development. Grounded throughout with real–world cases and examples, Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management equips you with valuable management techniques and ideas across a range of pivotal areas, including:

• Project planning and scheduling
• Evaluative methods such as cost, situation, and sensitivity analyses
• Leadership and the role of the project manager
• Team building and interaction
• Primary elements of systems engineering and systems architecting
• Latest software engineering tools and integrative management trends

Complete with the information you need to understand and implement project and systems engineering management fundamentals, this timely resource is an important asset to engineers in the field and students in the classroom.

Revue de presse

"Most large–scale systems deal with military, aerospace, or telecommunications activity. Examples are the space shuttle and air traffic control. This well–written text therefore devotes much of its content and one–third of its bibliography, to such subjects. ; Dealing with difficult people, such as team busters, or the bad boss, confronts most of us at some time. Motivation? Incentives? How to treat employees fairly and earn loyalty? It′s all here." (Electrical Apparatus, April 2002)
