The Objective is Quality - Michael Jaccard - 2013 Book Information

The Objective is Quality: An Introduction to Performance and Sustainability Management Systems


Michel Jaccard
CRC Press, 23-Apr-2013 - Business & Economics - 400 pages


Quality is a form of management that is composed of the double approach of driving an organization towards excellence, while conforming to established standards and laws. The objective of quality confers advantages to companies: it makes them more resilient to change that can be unexpected or even chaotic; it makes them more competitive by identifying those steps in processes that do not offer added value.

No longer the concern of a small community of experts, even scientists and engineers working in the private sector will find that they will have to con- front questions related to quality management in their day-to-day professional lives. This volume offers such people an unique entry into the universe of quality management, providing not only a cartography of quality standards and their modes of application – with particular attention to the ISO standards – but also a broader cultural context, with chapters on the history, prizes, deontology and moral implications of systems of quality management. This book thus opens the door to all those eager to take the first steps to learning how the principles of quality are organized today, and how they can be applied to his or her own activity.

Project Management for Construction

Project Management for Construction

Fundamental Concepts for Owners, Engineers, Architects and Builders

by Chris Hendrickson, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA l52l3 Copyright C. Hendrickson 1998

First Edition originally printed by Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-731266-0, 1989 with co-author Tung Au.

Second Edition prepared for world wide web publication in 2000.

Version 2.2 prepared Summer, 2008.
 
Contents
 
  1. The_Owners'_Perspective
  2. Organizing_For_Project_Management
  3. The_Design_And_Construction_Process
  4. Labor,_Material,_And_Equipment_Utilization
  5. Cost_Estimation
  6. Economic_Evaluation_of_Facility_Investments
  7. Financing_of_Constructed_Facilities
  8. Construction_Pricing_and_Contracting
  9. Construction_Planning
  10. Fundamental_Scheduling_Procedures
  11. Advanced_Scheduling_Techniques
  12. Cost_Control,_Monitoring,_and_Accounting
  13. Quality_Control_and_Safety_During_Construction
  14. Organization_and_Use_of_Project_Information
     

    Chapters 1 to 3 present an overview of the construction management and design process which should be of interest to anyone engaged in project management for construction. One need not have detailed knowledge about individual tasks or techniques for this part. Individuals can read these chapters and understand the basic philosophy and principles without further elaboration.

    Chapters 4 through 14 describe specific functions and techniques useful in the process of project management. This part presents techniques and requirements during project planning, including risk assessment, cost estimation, forecasting and economic evaluation. It is during this planning and design phase in which major cost savings may be obtained during the eventual construction and operation phases. It also addresses programming and financing issues, such as contracting and bidding for services, financing, organizing communication and insuring effective use of information. It further discusses techniques for control of time, cost and quality during the construction phase. Beginning courses in engineering economics (including cash flow analysis and discounting), use of computers, probability and statistics would be useful. Furthermore, access to a personal computer with spreadsheet or equation solving software would be helpful for readers attempting some of the problems in Chapters 4 to 14. Numerous software programs could be used for this purpose, including both spreadsheet and equation solving programs. Problems in some chapters could also be done on any number of existing software packages for information management and project scheduling. However, the use of personal computers in this fashion is not required in following the text material. Each instructor may exercise discretion in omitting some of the material in these chapters if they are redundant with other classes or too advanced for students in his or her own class.
