Lean tools alone don't lead to successful Lean initiatives: The missing piece is culture. The author will revise all chapters based on new insights and will expand the chapter on relationships between owners and architects as Kaizan events on culture/vulnerability-based trust improved processes and eliminated work stoppages. The importance of aligning under one goal across organizations will be detailed as well as the pitfalls of giving different functions different goals. Value stream mapping is primary to resolve conflicts. Future state maps will fail if leaders work in silos, protect...

This tenth edition of David Chappell's bestselling guide has been revised to take into account changes made in 2016 to payment provisions, and elsewhere. This remains the most concise guide available to the most commonly used JCT building contracts: Standard Building Contract with quantities, 2016 (SBC16), Intermediate Building Contract 2016 (IC16), Intermediate Building Contract with contractor's design 2016 (ICD16), Minor Works Building Contract 2016 (MW11), Minor Works Building Contract with contractor's design 2016 (MWD16) and Design and Build Contract 2016 (DB16).

In the present era of liberalization, privatization and globalization, industrial growth is probably the most critical factor while analyzing a country's economy. Sustenance of industry primarily depends on its productivity levels in the highly competitive environment. Productivity enhancement can be achieved by using the principles of industrial engineering such as Work Study and Ergonomics. These principles have been addressed in this book in order to develop better understanding of the subject in the minds of readers pertaining to topics such as productivity, work and...

Environmental Impact Assessment: Theory and Practice describes the various pieces of knowledge necessary to speak the language of EIA and carry out EIAs focusing on a variety of environmental issues, including impacts on environmental components, like air, water, soils, land, noise and biological environments. Organized into 15 chapters, the book provides engineers with the tools and methods to conduct an effective assessment, including report preparations, design measures and relevant mitigation steps that can be taken to reduce or avoid negative effects. Case Studies are...

This book presents principal structures of space systems functionality, media and applications for modern remote sensing, transmission systems, meteorological antennas, propagation meteorological observation, and transferring weather data from satellite to the ground infrastructures and users. The author presents techniques and different modes of satellite image interpretation, type of satellite imagery, spectral imaging properties, enhancement of imaging technique, geo-location and calibration, atmospheric and surface phenomena. Several satellite meteorological applications are introduced...

The design of tall buildings structures involves several rather complex design activities, including data capture, modelling, conceptual design, and structural analysis and detailing. While traditional design approaches employ a 'trial and error' method, Design and Analysis of Tall Buildings Structures provides structural designers with a systematic approach to anticipate and solve issues for tall and complex structures.

Design and Analysis of Tall Buildings Structures begins with a clear and rigorous exposition of theory along with an explanation of the...
