Electrical Power Systems Technology

Electrical Power Systems Technology

Electrical Power Systems Technology (Third Edition) provides a broad
overview of the production, distribution, control, conversion, and measurement
of electrical power. The presentation method used in this book will allow the reader to develop an understanding of electrical power systems. The units of the book are organized in a systematic manner, beginning with electrical power production methods. The fundamentals of each major unit of the book are discussed at the beginning of the unit. These fundamentals provide a framework for the information that follows in each unit. The last unit has been expanded to include control devices. This book deals with many important aspects of electrical power, not just with one or two areas. In this way, it will give the reader a better understanding of the total electrical power system—from the production of electricity to its conversion to other forms of energy. Each unit deals with a specific system, such as production, distribution, control, conversion, or measurement. Each system is broken down into subsystems. The subsystems are then explored in greater detail in the chapters that make up each unit.

Project Management A Systems Approach to Planning Scheduling and Controlling 8th Edition

Project Management  A Systems Approach to Planning  Scheduling  and Controlling  8th Edition

As we enter the first decade of the twenty-first century, our perception of project management
has changed. Project management, once considered nice to have, is now recognized as a necessity. Organizations that were opponents of project management are now advocates. Management educators of the past, who preached that project management could not work, are now staunch supporters. Project management is here to stay. This text discusses the principles of project management. Students who are interested in advanced topics in project management, as well as in best practices in implementation, may wish to read one of my other texts, Applied Project Management (New York: Wiley, 2000). This book is addressed not only to those undergraduate and graduate students who wish to understand and improve upon their project management skills, but also to those functional managers and upper-level executives who must provide continuous support to all projects. During the past several years, management’s knowledge and understanding of project management has matured to the point where almost every company is using project management in one form or another. These companies have come to the realization that project management and productivity are related. Project management coursework is now consuming more of training budgets than ever before. General reference is provided in the text to engineers. However, the reader should not consider project management as strictly engineering-related. The engineering examples are the result of the fact that project management first appeared in the engineering disciplines, and we should be willing to learn from their mistakes.
The textbook is designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in both business and engineering. The structure of the text is based upon my belief that project management is much more behavioral than quantitative. The first five chapters are part of the basic core

1. OVERVIEW
2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT GROWTH: CONCEPTS AND
DEFINITIONS

Financial and Management Accounting An Introduction

Financial and Management Accounting An Introduction

Target readership
This book is targeted at a broad-ranging business studies type of first-level degree
course. It is intended to support the equivalent of one semester of 12 teaching weeks.
There is sufficient basic bookkeeping (ledger accounts) in the end-of-chapter supplements
to make the book suitable for those intending to pursue a specialised study of
accounting beyond the first level but the bookkeeping material is optional for those
who do not have such special intentions. The book has been written with undergraduate
students particularly in mind, but may also be suitable for professional and
postgraduate business courses where financial reporting is taught at an introductory
level.
Acknowledgements
I am grateful to academic colleagues and to reviewers of the text for helpful comments
and suggestions. I am also grateful to undergraduate students of five universities who
have taken my courses and thereby helped in developing an approach to teaching
and learning the subject. Professor Graham Peirson and Mr Alan Ramsay of Monash
University provided a first draft of their text based on the conceptual framework in
Australia which gave valuable assistance in designing the structure of this book, which
was also guided from the publishing side by Pat Bond and Ron Harper. Professor Ken
Shackleton of the University of Glasgow helped plan the structure of the management
accounting chapters. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland gave permission
for use of some of the end-of-chapter questions.
Subsequently I have received valuable support in successive editions from the
editorial staff at Pearson Education. For this latest edition I am grateful to colleagues
and students who have used the book in their teaching and learning. I have also been
helped by constructive comments from reviewers and by guidance from Matthew
Smith, Acquisitions Editor, and Sarah Wild, Senior Desk Editor.

Project Risk Management Processes Techniques & Insights

Project Risk Management Processes  Techniques & Insights

All projects involve risk—the zero risk project is not worth pursuing. This is not purely intuitive but also a recognition that acceptance of some risk is likely to
yield a more desirable and appropriate level of benefit in return for the resources committed to the venture. Risk involves both threat and opportunity. Organizations that better understand the nature of the risks and can manage them more effectively cannot only avoid unforeseen disasters but can work with tighter margins and less contingency, freeing resources for other endeavours, and seizing opportunities for advantageous investment that might otherwise be rejected as ‘too risky’. Risk is present in every aspect of our lives; thus risk management is universal but in most circumstances an unstructured activity, based on common sense, relevant knowledge, experience and instinct. Project management has evolved over recent years into a fully-fledged professional discipline characterized by a formalized body of knowledge and the definition of systematic processes for the execution of a project. Yet project risk management has, until recently, generally been considered as an ‘add-on’ instead of being integral to the effective practice of project management.
This book provides a framework for integrating risk management into the
management of projects. It explains how to do this through the definition of
generic risk management processes and shows how these processes can be
mapped onto the stages of the project life cycle. As the disciplines of formal
project management are being applied ever more widely (e.g., to the management
of change within organizations) so the generic project risk management
processes set out here will readily find use in diverse areas of application.
The main emphasis is on processes rather than analytical techniques, which are already well documented. The danger in formalized processes is that they can become orthodox, bureaucratic, burdened with procedures, so that the practitioner loses sight of the real aims. This book provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of project risk management processes but avoids being overprescriptive in the description of the execution of these processes. Instead, there is positive encouragement to use these generic processes as a starting point for elaboration and adaptation to suit the circumstances of a particular application, to innovate and experiment, to simplify and streamline the practical implementation of the generic processes to achieve cost-effective and efficient risk management.

Logistics_and Supply Chain_Management 4th Edition

Logistics_and Supply Chain_Management 4th Edition

When the first edition of this book was published in 1992, supply chain management as an idea was still in its infancy and relatively few companies had made it a priority. The same was true for logistics management, although its precursor, distribution management, was increasingly being recognised as important both in terms of cost and for its potential impact on sales. In the intervening years from the first to the fourth edition, many things have happened.
Firstly, there is now a much greater understanding of the role that supply chain management plays in creating competitive advantage. Whereas previously the focus was primarily tactical with a concern for optimising costs, now there is much more of a strategic focus with the emphasis on value creation and delivery. The second major change is the recognition that supply chain management is not just an extension of logistics management, but rather that it is about managing relationships across the complex networks that today's supply chains have become. A third significant change over that period is that the business environment has become a lot more volatile and hence less predictable. This transition from a relatively stable world to one that is much more turbulent requires supply chains to be capable of changing rapidly to meet changed circumstances. These changes are reflected in the additional material included in this new edition. Thus complexity management and the challenge of making the transition from a forecast-driven to a demand-driven business model are given greater emphasis. As ever, I have been greatly influenced in my thinking by the ideas and contributions of colleagues. I have had the privilege over the years to work with many academics and practitioners around the world who have provided me with inspiration as well as feedback on my ideas on how modern supply chains should be designed and managed. Long-standing collaborators include Alan Braithwaite, Chairman of LCP Consulting, Professor John Gattorna of Macquarie University, Australia, Professor Douglas Lambert of Ohio State University, USA and Professor  Denis Towill of Cardiff University, UK.

Handbook of Management and Leadership

Like many things in life, the more things change, the more they
stay the same. Interest in project management remains fairly high,
though there has been some decline in recent years. However, the
practice of project management remains questionable, as project
failures continue to be almost as numerous as they were when the
first and second editions of this book were published.
It is one thing to talk about project management and an
entirely different thing to do it. It seems to me there are a lot of
talkers out there but not many do-ers.

Accounting and Financial Management

Accounting and Financial Management

Business is one of the sources of earning income. Whenever a business is started, it requires investment of
certain amount which is called as capital. With this amount of capital the businessman may deal either with
trading business or manufacturing business. In a trading business, he will buy goods at a lesser price and
sells the same to others at a higher price. In case of manufacturing business, he has to buy raw materials and
incur other expenses in the form of wages and salaries, rent, power, insurance, tax, transport, postal and
telephone expenses and so on, in the course of production and distribution of goods. In a small sized
business the transactions are simple and less in number. But in a large sized business the transactions are
numerous. These business transactions enable the businessman to know the result of his business which
can be profit or loss for a given period of time. In order to know the result of his business, a businessman has
to remember all the transactions of his business. However, owing to lack of memory it is not possible for
anybody to remember all the transactions over a period of time. This has given rise to maintenance of a set of
accounting books in which business transactions are chronologically recorded. The systematic recording of
business transactions enable the businessman to account for every transaction without missing any item.
Such a system of maintenance of a set of accounting books to record business transactions is known as book
keeping system

Electric Motors & Drives

Electric Motors & Drives

Like its predecessors, the third edition of this book is intended primarily
for non-specialist users and students of electric motors and drives.
My original aim was to bridge the gap between specialist textbooks
(which are pitched at a level too academic for the average user) and
the more prosaic ‘handbooks’, which are full of useful detail but provide
little opportunity for the development of any real insight or understanding.
The fact that the second edition was reprinted ten times indicated
that there had indeed been a gap in the market, and that a third edition
would be worthwhile. It was also gratifying to learn that although the
original book was not intended as yet another undergraduate textbook,
teachers and students had welcomed the book as a gentle introduction to
the subject.

Operations Management

Operations Management

Operations management has been recognised as an important factor in a country’s economic growth. The traditional view of manufacturing management is the concept of Production Management with the focus on economic efficiency in manufacturing. Later the new name Operations Management was identified, as service sector became more prominent. Rapid changes in technology have posed numerous opportunities and challenges, which have resulted in enhancement of manufacturing capabilities through new materials, facilities, techniques and procedures. Hence, managing a service system has become a major challenge in the global competitive environment. Operations Management has been a key element in the improvement and productivity in business around the world. Operations Management leads the way for the organisations to achieve its goals with minimum effort. Hence, the study of the subject at undergraduate and postgraduate level has more significance.
This book on ‘Operations Management’ covers the complete syllabus of Bachelor of Engineering of Visvesvaraya Technical University, Karnataka, however the coverage is wide enough to include the requirements of Bachelor and Master Degree courses of other Indian universities and professional courses like MBA, PGDCA, BBA. Being student friendly is the unique feature of this book. The subject matter has been presented systematically in ten chapters, which can enable the reader master the topics covered without any additional guidance.

Internetworking with TCP_IP

Internetworking with TCP_IP

Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume III describes the fundamental concepts of client-server computing used to build all distributed computing systems, and presents an in-depth guide to the Posix sockets standard utilized by Linux and other operating systems. Dr. Douglas E. Comer compares leading server designs, and describes the key tools and techniques used to build clients and servers, including Remote Procedure Call (RPC). The book contains examples of running programs that illustrate each approach. Comer introduces the client-server model and its software design implications; the role of concurrent processing and threads; the Socket API, and differences that impact Linux programmers. Understand the key algorithms and issues associated with client and server software design; then review three leading approaches: iterative, connectionless servers (UPD); and both iterative and concurrent connection-oriented servers (TCP). The book contains extensive coverage of threading, including a new chapter on using threads for concurrency; as well as coverage of single-threaded and multi-threaded concurrent servers. Comer introduces multi-protocol and multi-service services; reviews client concurrency; tunneling at the transport and application levels; and external data representation (XDR). He reviews RPC, distributed program generation, NFS concepts and protocol; Telnet; streaming media transport; and finally, techniques for avoiding deadlock and starvation in client-server systems. For everyone who wants to master TCP/IP and understand how the Internet works.
