Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Today’s businesses are driven by customer ‘pull’ and technological ‘push’. To remain competitive in this dynamic business world engineering and construction organizations are constantly innovating with new technology tools and techniques to improve process performance in their projects. Their management challenge is to save time reduce cost and increase quality and operational efficiency. Risk management has recently evolved as an effective method of managing both projects and operations. Risk is inherent in any project as managers need to plan projects with minimal knowledge and information but its management helps managers to become proactive rather than reactive. Hence it not only increases the chance of project achievement but also helps ensure better performance throughout its operations phase. Various qualitative and quantitative tools are researched extensively by academics and routinely deployed by practitioners for managing risk. These have tremendous potential for wider applications. Yet the current literature on both the theory and practice of risk management is widely scattered. Most of the books emphasize risk management theory but lack practical demonstrations and give little guidance on the application of those theories. This book showcases a number of effective applications of risk management tools and techniques across product and service life in a way useful for practitioners graduate students and researchers. It also provides an in-depth understanding of the principles of risk management in engineering and construction. | Risk Management in Engineering and Construction Tools and Techniques

Biostatistics An Introduction and Conceptual Critique

Biostatistics An Introduction and Conceptual Critique

Without question biostatistical analysis has contributed to a slew of amazing medical breakthroughs. Yet it also distorts and deforms the holistic and contingent nature of health and medicine. How is it that biostatistics can both sharpen and weaken our understanding of health and medicine? What is unique about the content of health and medicine that so plainly reveals such distortions and deformities? Exploring these questions entails first a full survey of the tools and techniques of biostatistical analysis aiding medical breakthroughs. This survey must then be paired with a probe into the conceptual premises of these tools and techniques and how they refashion and reconstitute the inherently qualitative content of health and medicine in preparation for its quantification. We must grasp the statistical machinations at play both technical and conceptual that contrive to fit objects to tools rather than fitting tools to objects. This textbook introduces both the procedural methods and the hidden premises of biostatistical analysis. | Biostatistics An Introduction and Conceptual Critique
