Synopsis

For this fourth edition of a guide for those involved in project work, Harrison, a project management consultant, and Lock, a project management writer and lecturer, add new material on areas such as procurement and the supply chain, concurrent engineering, quality management, resource scheduling, and risk management, to reflect changes in project management in the 10 years since the previous edition was published. Bridging the gap between introductory texts and specialist works on professional practice, the book will be useful as a guide for managers, engineers, and accountants involved in project work, and as a reference for advanced students of project and construction management. The book is distributed by Ashgate. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews)

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When Advanced Project Management first appeared it quickly acquired a reputation for excellence on both sides of the Atlantic as a book that successfully bridges the gap between introductory texts on project management and specialist works on professional practice. Its aim is twofold: to provide a guide for managers, engineers, accountants and others involved in project work, and a reference for advanced students of project and construction management. This fourth edition of the book has been heavily revised, with substantial material to reflect the changes in project management. The following topics are either new to the book or have been given greater emphasis: ¢ Project definition and appraisal ¢ Procurement and the supply chain ¢ Concurrent engineering ¢ Cost and management accounting ¢ Quality management ¢ More detailed explanations of critical path analysis, now predominantly using the precedence system ¢ Increased treatment of resource scheduling ¢ Planning with multiple calendars ¢ Planning within fixed time constraints, using crashing and fast-tracking methods ¢ Standard networks, modules and templates ¢ Risk management.
