CONCEPTFront-end Management of Major ProjectsSikring av store investeringsprosjekterinformation transfer plays in integrating R&D and marketing functionsduring the planning stage and what effects project formalization andproject centralization of R&D and marketing planning activities have on theefficiency of marketing and technological uncertainty reduction arediscussed. An ex post facto research design is used to test thepropositional model. It is shown that successful project teams arecharacterized by a maximum uncertainty reduction during planning.Guidelines for successful risk facilitating and analysisNoor, Iqbal; Rye, Thomas JCost EngineeringDOC TYPE: Periodical; Feature.SPECIAL FEATURE: Table Formula Graph ChartABSTRACT: Guidelines for risk facilitating and risk analysis of costestimates are presented. The guidelines are based on the successes andlessons-learned from one company's approach to risk-weighted costestimates. Key issues relating to the identification and quantification ofrisks are addressed. In particular, the role of the risk facilitator indeveloping the cost-influence matrix is discussed; emphasis is on thesubtleties involved in overcoming some of the statistical issues, andissues such as the correlation among influence factors and the developmentof appropriate risk analysis models are discussed. A step-by-step approachthrough the various phases of the risk analysis process is presented.Project estimating for the 21 centuryLeo, Douglas WTransactions of AACE International.DOC TYPE: Journal article.SPECIAL FEATURE: Charts Graphs ReferencesABSTRACT: Cost engineering's role, as an integral component of today'sevolving business environment, is confronted by heightening internationalcompetition and intense market pressure to offer goods and services better,faster, and at lower costs. This translates as a stimulus for companies toevaluate the costs and benefits of every aspect of their organization,including that of their project business. Company in-house estimating isexamined versus contracted estimating services. As companies examine thequestion of whether to maintain an in-house presence or to use contractingestimating, an understanding of the pros and cons of both is essential. Thebenefits of providing in-house resources, and how these services need to bestructured for an in-house presence to be viable are discussed. Examplesfrom Eastman Kodak's capital estimating department will be used to back upobservations and concepts. Methods that this group is employing to enhanceits competitive posturing as an in-house provider of estimating serviceswill be offered for consideration.Building a cost engineering data warehouseDecker, Keith G; Oaks, Anthony J; Salinas, MaxTransactions of AACE International.Litteraturstudium innen tidligfasevurderinger av prosjekter 76
