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

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.

This book presents an integrated approach to project management for oil and gas projects. It covers concepts, tools, and techniques of project management based on the elements of the Project Management Body of Knowledge. The book also contains case examples of applications of project management tools and techniques to real-life project scenarios. The book is intended to serve as a reference book for planners, project operators, stakeholders, designers, project managers, business managers, consultants, project analysts, senior executives, project team members, members of project management office, project customers, functional managers, trainers, and researchers.

Project management for oil and gas projects comes with a unique set of challenges that include the management of science, technology, and engineering aspects. Underlining the specific issues involved in projects in this field, Project Management for the Oil and Gas Industry: A World System Approach presents step-by-step application of project management techniques. Using the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) framework from the Project Management Institute (PMI) as the platform, the book provides an integrated approach that covers the concepts, tools, and techniques for managing oil and gas projects.The authors discuss specialized tools such as plan, do, check, act (PDCA); define, measure, analyze, improve, control (DMAIC); suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers (SIPOC); design, evaluate, justify, integrate (DEJI); quality function deployment (QFD); affinity diagrams; flowcharts; Pareto charts; and histograms. They also discuss the major activities in oil and gas risk assessment, such as feasibility studies, design, transportation, utility, survey works, construction, permanent structure works, mechanical and electrical installations, and maintenance.Strongly advocating a world systems approach to managing oil and gas projects and programs, the book covers quantitative and qualitative techniques. It addresses technical and managerial aspects of projects and illustrates the concepts with case examples of applications of project management tools and techniques to real-life project scenarios that can serve as lessons learned for best practices. An in-depth examination of project management for oil and gas projects, the book is a handbook for professionals in the field, a guidebook for technical consultants, and a resource for students.

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.

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.

A comprehensive guide to the implementation of the Triple C Model of project management. It presents the soft side of project management. It deals with the fuzzy, ambiguous people issues subject to emotional nuances and sentimental knee-jerk reactions. It offers coverage of techniques for tracking, managing, and controlling project costs.
