Planning, Performing, and Controlling Projects

For undergraduate courses in Manufacturing Processes and Project Management, and other related courses.

This text introduces the theory and practice involved in the design and management of technically oriented projects. It guides students through a four-phase systematic approach to project evolution—Concept, Study, Design, and Implementation—and a real-world case study that emphasizes practical aspects of the project phases. An exploration of systematic management—documentation, documentation and interaction, and modeling, complete this treatment and provide the balance needed for successful complex project completion.
