Without professional project management, successful execution of major projects is no longer conceivable today. Very practice-oriented, and building on more than 35 years of innovation in the field of project management, this book outlines profiles of the most important market participants, the essential contents of the planning and construction process as well as the tasks of the project manager, his or her methods and tools. Particularly, the obligation of the project manager is pointed out when it comes to carrying out the process of project execution in a transparent and effective manner in order to guarantee, together with the other project participants involved, the maximum degree of usefulness, design, sustainability and profitability at specified costs and deadlines. The book addresses project managers, project developers and construction experts but also to the responsible representatives of the clients and investors who have recognized that sustainable and economical design are going to be the topics of the future in the building and property industries.

The proce­ dure of Fig. 2. 1 is based on the part stress method discussed in Section 2. 2. 4 (see Section 2. 2. 7 for the part count method). Also included are a failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA/FMECA), to check the validity of the assumed failure modes, and a verification of the adherence to design guidelines for relia­ bility in a preliminary design review (Section 5. 1, Appendices A3. 3. 5 & A4). Verification of the assumed failure modes is mandatory where redundancy appears, in particular because of the series element in the reliability block diagram (see for instance Example 2. 6, Sections 2. 3. 6 for elements with more than one failure mode & 6. 8. 7 for common cause failures, and Figs. 2. 8- 2. 9 & 6. 17- 6.

New, global and extended markets are forcing companies to process and manage increasingly different products with shorter life cycles, low volumes and reduced customer delivery times. In today's global marketplace production systems need to deliver products on time, maintain market credibility, and introduce new products and services faster than competitors. As a result, a new production system paradigm has been developed and a supporting management decision-making approach, which simultaneously incorporates design, management, and control of the production system, is necessary in order for this challenge to be met effectively and efficiency. Maintenance for Industrial Systems addresses this need by introducing an original and integrated idea of maintenance: maintenance for productivity. The volume starts with the introduction and discussion of a new conceptual framework based on productivity, quality, and safety supported by maintenance. Subsequent chapters illustrate the most relevant models and methods for planning, organising, implementing and controlling the whole maintenance process. Several examples of problems supported by solutions, and real applications to help and test the reader's comprehension are included. Maintenance for Industrial Systems is a valuable source of information for engineering students, doctoral and post-doctoral students, and also for maintenance practitioners and managers of industrial or service companies. Springer Series in Reliability Engineering publishes high-quality books in important areas of current theoretical research and development in reliability, and in areas that bridge the gap between theory and application in areas of interest to practitioners in industry, laboratories, business, and government.

Quality of product has always been an important consideration for any producer, but now increasingly sophisticated products are spurring a growth in the importance of quality of service. Real-time Systems' Quality of Service examines the attainability of efficiency, economy, and ease of use, which make up the quality of service of technologically advanced products. Since production processes have a significant impact on the quality of products, interest is now focused on their control systems, for which a number of quality criteria must be observed during their real-time operation. Quality of service of a real-time system is dependent on the quality of its design and development process; hence, guidelines on how to integrate its parameters with this process are of the utmost importance in achieving the desired system quality. Real-time Systems' Quality of Service reviews the state of the art in quality of service evaluation for real-time systems. It gives a classification of the relevant parameters for quality of service evaluation and also determines the critical points in the design and development process of real-time systems - where performance criteria should be applied or checked. Then, software development and certification standards are assessed, and finally the authors elaborate on how the suggested criteria should be applied to the design, development, and certification process of real-time systems. Real-time Systems' Quality of Service will guide researchers and postgraduates in embedded and real-time systems through the process of introducing quality of service parameters into real-time systems.
