Advanced project management - F. L Harrison

When Advanced Project Management first appeared it quickly acquired a reputation for excellence on both sides of the Atlantic as a book that successfully bridges the gap between introductory texts on project management and specialist works on professional practice. Its aim is twofold: to provide a guide for managers, engineers, accountants and others involved in project work, and a reference for advanced students of project and construction management.
This fourth edition of the book has been heavily revised, with substantial material to reflect the changes in project management. The following topics are either new to the book or have been given greater emphasis:
Project definition and appraisal
Procurement and the supply chain
Concurrent engineering
Cost and management accounting
Quality management
More detailed explanations of critical path analysis, now predominantly using the precedence system
Increased treatment of resource scheduling
Planning with multiple calendars
Planning within fixed time constraints, using crashing and fast-tracking methods
Standard networks, modules and templates
Risk management.
