The Principle of Project Management

 

The Principle of Project Management

The subject of project management has recently become as a key concern in various engineering fields. The proliferation of mega[1]projects worldwide, aiming to take best advantage of the latest tech[1]no logical developments, itself demands new or improved methods of project management to cope with the fast developing. As the concept of a project differs fundamentally from that of daily or routine operations, it follows that a number of principles and conceptions of project management must also diverge from those followed in the realm of daily operations management. In operations management, production managers tend generally to focus on production / output volume per unit time — usually the current week compared to the previous week and-or the same week last year; profits accumulated and-or compared for the same time unit(s); sales or operational orders accumulated and-or com[1]pared for the same time unit(s); actual versus budgeted expendi[1]ture for the current quarter and the same quarter the year before; and sales revenue and sales volume for a given product compared.

to the performance of competitors producing / marketing a similar product. Project management may be denned as the planning, organiza[1]tion, direction, and control of all kinds of resources in a specific time period for achieving a specific objective comprised of various financial and non-financial targets. This should help clarify the difference in outlook of the project manager and the operations manager. The project managers goal is to finish the project on time. Then he evaluates where he will relocate after finishing the project. The operations manager, on the other hand, never wants daily production to stop, and cannot dream of work stopping — as distinct from the project manager's goal of overall task completion.

Benefits

The advantages of construction management also flow into other aspects of the construction process. In particular, it helps construction teams:

  • Save time and money
  • Optimize resources for a more efficient project delivery
  • Prevent, mitigate, and manage risks in the construction process
  • Build safe and better-quality infrastructure

Traffic Engineering Design Process

Pre-Design Considerations Site Analysis Before creating a design, traffic engineers need to conduct a site analysis to determine what needs the site may have for the area’s traffic. They will need to take note of the surrounding area – businesses, schools, railways, protected lands, etc. – and investigate any local policies that might affect their work.  Traffic Surveys A traffic survey is a survey conducted by traffic engineers to determine how traffic moves through a particular area. These usually take 2-4 days per intersection to complete and need to occur throughout the day to ensure both peak and non-peak hours are factored in. One of the most popular ways a traffic survey is conducted is with the use of rubber hoses. These hoses run across the road and connect to a meter that counts each vehicle that passes while also determining what type of vehicle it is. These hoses also collect data on what speed the vehicle is going when it passes over the hose.  Traffic engineers will als
