Publisher's Synopsis
Applying the principles of management specifically to modern engineering, this book describes the way in which scientific and mathematical theories and methods should be adapted to take into account the variability and uncertainty inherent in practical engineering situations. Emphasis is placed on applying proven management principles to the engineering process, including the design, production and maintenance of products. The author also covers important human resource issues with material on training, motivation, customer perceptions, costs, timescales and quality.
