Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management

Description

The Third Edition of Essentials of Project and Systems Engineering Management enables readers to manage the design, development, and engineering of systems effectively and efficiently. The book both defines and describes the essentials of project and systems engineering management and, moreover, shows the critical relationship and interconnection between project management and systems engineering. The author's comprehensive presentation has proven successful in enabling both engineers and project managers to understand their roles, collaborate, and quickly grasp and apply all the basic principles. Readers familiar with the previous two critically acclaimed editions will find much new material in this latest edition, including: Multiple views of and approaches to architectures The systems engineer and software engineering The acquisition of systems Problems with systems, software, and requirements Group processes and decision making System complexity and integration Throughout the presentation, clear examples help readers understand how concepts have been put into practice in real-world situations. With its unique integration of project management and systems engineering, this book helps both engineers and project managers across a broad range of industries successfully develop and manage a project team that, in turn, builds successful systems. For engineering and management students in such disciplines as technology management, systems engineering, and industrial engineering, the book provides excellent preparation for moving from the classroom to industry Content: Essentials of project and systems engineering management contents preface part i: overview 1: systems, projects, and management 1.1 introduction 1.2 systems and projects 1.3 problems in managing engineering projects 1.4 the systems approach 1.5 the project organization 1.6 organizational environments and factors 1.7 large-scale organization and management issues questions/exercises references 2: overview of essentials 2.1 introduction 2.2 project management essentials 2.3 systems engineering process and management essentials 2.4 historical overview of acquisition notions. 2.5 selected standardsquestions/exercises references part ii: project management 3: the project plan 3.1 introduction 3.2 needs, goals, objectives, and requirements 3.3 task statements, statement of work (sow), and work breakdown structure (wbs) 3.4 technical approach 3.5 schedule 3.6 organization, staffing, and task responsibility matrix (trm) 3.7 budget 3.8 risk analysis 3.9 the proposal 3.10 semp and sep questions/exercises references 4: schedule, cost, and situation analysis 4.1 introduction 4.2 schedule analysis and monitoring 4.3 cost analysis and monitoring. 4.4 situation analysis (sa)questions/exercises references 5: the project manager and leadership 5.1 introduction 5.2 project manager attributes 5.3 self-evaluation 5.4 interactions with your supervisor 5.5 customer interaction 5.6 leadership questions/exercises references 6: team building and team interactions 6.1 introduction 6.2 communications 6.3 building the project team 6.4 team busters 6.5 conflict management 6.6 meetings 6.7 presentations 6.8 proposals 6.9 a note on motivation and incentives 6.10 another team-related perspective 6.11 group processes.
