Whatever your business, getting the work done on time can make or break your 
organization. The faster the world moves, the more this becomes important. The 
expanding utility and relevance of project management has lead to its emergence 
as a separate body of knowledge embraced by various disciplines ranging from 
engineering and business to social services. Detailing the value of project 
management when applied to industrial enterprises, Industrial Project 
Management: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques presents an integrated approach 
to the subject, focusing specifically on industrial applications. The book covers the 
concepts, tools, and techniques, both the emerging and the tried-and-true, of 
project management. The elements of the Project Management Body of Knowledge 
provide a unifying platform for the topics discussed. The authors also include a 
project-oriented chapter on Lean Six Sigma as well as appendices on project 
terms, definitions, and acronyms. 
In today’s highly competitive global market, the race to get ahead is even more
 intense. An excellent platform for integrating management techniques and 
business processes, when done correctly project management can help you 
synthesize management methods such as statistics, operations research, Six 
Sigma, computer simulation, and so on. A practical guide, Industrial Project 
Management delineates the tools and techniques necessary for using project 
management in an industrial setting to mitigate the adverse effects of time, cost, 
and performance constraints typical for any project.
