Analysis Skills For Production Strategies

Summary:
This book covers five main areas: fragmentation as a problem in the construction industry; the need to appreciate that production is not an accident and has to be planned; the use of systems analysis in aiding the planning of production; the relevance of buildability models in appreciating the complexities and changing nature of production; and the problems of making effective decisions within a fragmented and complex planning environment.

The book is aimed at any company or manager involved in the management of live construction projects - and particularly those which are large and complex. In particular: project managers, construction managers, project planners and contracts managers will find it of interest
