The development in the construction industry has made engineers, architects and designers very creative and ambitious in building projects. The designs are becoming innovative and attractive. To achieve this, tremendous amount of weight placed was on materials leading to their inability to bear this significant weight. Consequently, to be able to achieve the structural design and strength engineers developed the truss. Trusses are web-shaped structures that are able to bear tremendous weight.…

Three Failure Factors: Why did the Nakaseke MCT project fail from an inclusiveness perspective? Priority of Implementing Agency was not Inclusiveness In initial development projects, where there is lack of experience, there was a large design and reality gap which in many cases failed to include the poor (Heeks 2008). Since the Nakaseke MCT project was an earlier form of telecentres, the same logic can be applied. In addition, the concept of inclusive growth was first introduced by Kakawani…

Training Management and Operation Anaconda: What Have We Learned? Operation Anaconda has been studied through various lenses about the inefficiencies and successes within this operation. Unfortunately, this operation is primarily known for the problems it encountered amongst the internal parties and the irreversible damage due to poor planning and coordination. With the advances in military technology and intelligence, it remains vital that training management is a top priority in the design,…

Change is defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different; as many of us know change does not suddenly occur, rather, it is a process that gradually unfolds overtime. (Horvath,T., Misra, K., Epner,A.K., and Cooper,G.M When a person is deciding to make a major change in their life they go through five stages that are described under the trans theoretical model of change. The model was created by James O. Prochaska and Carlo Di Clemente during the 1980’s. Prochaska and Di Clemente…

3. Qualitative parameters 3.1. Travel time One of the important factors of every trip is its duration. Trying to compare long-run trains and buses we should consider this factor as well. Due to the physical inclusion of the coaches in the traffic flow and limitation of speed to by 100 km/h they generally need more time than private cars to travel from point A to point B (Bundesministerium der Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz, 2013). On the other hand, trains do not have such limitation and on…

INTRODUCTION Projects are a combination of specific tasks that have a clearly defined beginning and end. It has limited resources and should be completed within an allocated time. Therefore, the restrictions of projects are usually never carried out again in the same manner, with the same resources, for the same reason. Projects are therefore classified as something that is unique and once-off. Furthermore, project managers and teams use project management methodologies which provide project…

According to the “Ariane 5 Flight 501 Failure: Report by the Inquiry Board”, the failure that caused the Ariane 5 was a design error, namely of an Operand Error. The report says, “The exception was detected, but inappropriately handled because the view had been taken that software should be considered correct until it is shown to be at fault” (Lions, 1996). This view manifested itself in the use of extant software from Ariane 4 that was used for Ariane 5 because, to simplify, it worked well for…

most attractive projects based off NPV, IRR, and PI. However, I also aimed to make appropriate selections based on diversifying among the three departments (retailing, licensing, and production) along with diversifying among riskiness for each year. For each year, I was given $8 million dollars to be used on projects. I felt this was a fairly acceptable budget as on average I was able to initiate between 2-4 projects, depending on costs. I began 2009 by selecting three initial projects. These…

Compliance Project Management During the month of September 2015, the Compliance Officers (CO) continued to implement and monitor the DC Water Contracting and Employment Compliance program for the aforementioned projects listed above. The CO has been thorough in monitoring project activities on DC Water major projects on a weekly basis. The CO has maintained communication with primes and their subcontractors and encouraged them to them to contact the compliance team with any questions regarding…

question. It is specifically designed to be short and concise, requiring you to narrow in on the material that is most meaningful to you. It is NOT a summary of the readings as a whole, and you will lose points for summaries or multiple points. For the project development, the Agile Approach is formed me the most significant concept of the readings. The approach fits our process for surveillance error detection. It starts with detecting a network problem, and then moves to what actions taken to…
