CONCEPTFront-end Management of Major ProjectsSikring av store investeringsprosjektermanagement is that, to deliver the best value for capital investments,project teams must do the right job right. The right job is defined duringthe front end of projects, when concepts and basic scope are developed.While much of cost engineering's effort is spent on estimates and projectcontrol information, the cost engineer's mission also includes providingthe information that is required to make decisions during the front end ofprojects to achieve the best value for capital investments. Front-end costengineering provides use of capital information through the application ofcost engineering processes, such as conceptual estimating, costcontainment, benchmarking, and value engineering. Basic front-end costengineering concepts and key definitions are examined, and core processesused by cost engineers in developing use of capital information during thefront end of a project are discussed.Design guidelines for NH3 injection grids optimize SCR NOx removalFewel, Kenneth J; Conroy, John HOil & Gas JournalDOC TYPE: Journal article.SPECIAL FEATURE: Charts Graphs Diagrams Equations ReferencesABSTRACT: Fossil fuels and other combustible products are consumed inindustrial process, in the generation of electricity for example, or innumerous other ways. During such processes, nitrogen oxides (NOx) areformed as components of the exhaust gas. NOx sources have been classifiedby government regulatory agencies as mobile sources and stationary sources.While the air chemistry is very complex, the emissions of NOx into theatmosphere have proven negative impacts upon the environment. A number oftechnologies exist to reduce the NOx emissions generated in industrialprocesses. One such technology, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), hasbeen sucessfully applied to stationary combustion sources. SCR can reduceNOx emissions from a single source by as much as 95%. Proper ammoniainjection grid (AIG) design can reduce original equipment costs andoperating expenses of SCR NOx-removal system. AIG design is, however,largely neglected in the engineering design stage. Guidelines for properAIG design are presented.Project management at the body engineering division of the Ford MotorCompanyFerguson, Frank MAmerican Association of Cost Engineers Transactions.DOC TYPE: Journal article.ABSTRACT: The program planning and timing methods employed by the BodyEngineering Division of the Ford Motor Company during the last 3 decades arepresented. Computer hardware advances, programming techniques, andmanagement willingness to experiment with new ideas have had an impact on theevolution of Ford's techniques. Although project management employing criticalpath networks has been used sporadically or in special circumstances for thelast 8 years at the Body Engineering Office, the scope of the current effort exceedsall previous uses of the method. The enthusiastic responses of team membersformulating these plans and those involved in pilot projects uses portions of theseLitteraturstudium innen tidligfasevurderinger av prosjekter 79
