This book details most common statistical process control tools
with many examples for high-volume production. It aims to make
elements of high-volume production process control simple and easy
to understand. It lets you thoroughly understand process controls
instead of blindly trusting software tools that operate as black
boxes. If you are dealing with high-volume production as an
operator, line supervisor, inspector, process engineer, quality
engineer, manufacturing manager, plant manager, or president of the
company, you have to understand the statistical process control
basics explained in this book in order to be successful.
Imagine the dynamics of an international engineering project such
as this one: a U.S. group designs, prototypes, and qualifies disk
drive heads; wafers for the drive heads are manufactured in the
U.S. and sent to Malaysia for subassembly; a South Korean firm
assembles these components; the final product, a fully automated
disk drive, is completed in Japan. In addition to the global
complexities of the project, there are a host of issues in leading
the project team spread across continents. Global Engineering
Project Management aligns real-world experiences in managing global
projects with practical project management principles. The author
demonstrates how to anticipate issues, covering everything from
start-up planning and supply management to cost containment,
post-project evaluation and protecting intellectual property. He
explores technologies, virtual teams, traditions, economics,
politics, and legal issues in the context of international
projects, as well as compares the differences with domestic
projects. He also highlights the complications of international
bidding, the extra time and effort needed for multi-national team
formation and management, and often overlooked project closure
tasks. As the world goes global, engineering projects increasingly
involve multiple countries, each having unique politics, cultures,
and standards that all add layers of complexity to project
management. These variables multiply fast and consequently a
project manager's responsibilities multiply faster. Examining these
challenges from start to finish, the book provides practical advice
on how to navigate the issues unique to global engineering project
management.
Project managers who lead globally dispersed teams face unique
challenges in managing project stakeholders, scope, knowledge
sharing, schedules, resources, and above all team execution in a
global business environment. Finding timely solutions to
challenging events becomes more difficult in a global project
environment. This book presents more than 80 case studies designed
to help project managers craft solutions to the typical problems
that can occur in global projects. The author describes surprising,
unexpected, and catastrophic cases that he encountered during his
35 years of project management experience in the global arena. The
author details the background of each challenging case and then
explains how he remedied the issue at hand. Some cases involve a
logical step-by-step approach toward a solution, while others
require unorthodox steps to get the project on the right track. The
book includes lessons learned after every case. This book is
designed to help global project managers become more proactive,
careful, disciplined, and ready for sudden surprises that can
affect their projects. The project cases detailed in this book
support and guide the strategizing process that occurs during the
execution of global projects. The book emphasizes the importance of
documenting lessons learned after each project to prevent making
the same mistakes in the future.

In today's global business environment with high speed
interactions, engineering organizations are evolving continuously.
Engineering Management in a Global Environment: Guidelines and
Procedures provides guidelines for changing roles of engineering
managers in the international arena. The book covers global,
multidisciplinary, and flat engineering organizations. Recommended
procedures for hiring, mentoring, work assignments, and meetings in
the global arena are detailed. Guidelines for keeping up with
technology and with the changing world, performance reviews,
layoffs, necessary engineering tools, and work atmosphere are
discussed. Procedures for engineering team building and for having
good relationships with upper management, customers,
subcontractors, and regulatory agencies are provided. Each chapter
ends with a checklist summarizing engineering managerial guidelines
in that chapter.

Electromagnetic waves generate radiation energy, and they play very
significant roles in our lives. Electromagnetic waves are studied
in almost every scientific field from astronomy, agriculture,
chemistry, medicine to physics. This book focuses on heat transfer
aspects of electromagnetic waves. There are twenty-four chapters in
this book with solutions to heat transfer problems from
electromagnetic waves' radiation energy, with different uses and
cases related to our lives. Each problem solution also investigates
the sensitivity of critical independent variables to governing
dependent variables.
