Engineering Project Management: The Ipqms Method and Case Histories
Engineering Project Management presents IPQMS (Integrated Planning and Quality Management System) as a powerful management methodology. This system ensures accountability, cost-effectiveness, and quality in the construction project, environmental cleanups, and other sectors - providing an integrative force for essential teamwork in industry and government. This resource contains IPQMS case histories or postmortems as distinguished from engineering and business case studies. Each case history analyzes the entire spectrum of a particular project, demonstrating the interrelationships among policy makers, planners, designers, implementers, and managers in creating a project. Lessons learned from over 35 cases in nine countries clearly show the need to establish accountability for quality execution of programs, projects, and policies. An outline for a two-week training program on the IPQMS for planners, designers, and managers is included.

Engineering Project Management
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As Professor Goodman's personal physician from 1973 to 1985 and friend to the present time, I have been familiar with his professional work beginning at the East-West Center in Hawaii. Being a physician, I was impressed particularly with his pioneering work with colleagues in Asia and The Pacific conducting autopsies of post-mortem examinations on past projects in nine countries to discover why these projects were plagued by costly mistakes, disasters, and fraud. Lessons learned from this eight year study resulted in the integrated Planning and Quality Management Systems (IPQMS). The IPQMS resulted in coordinated teamwork and accountability of delivering projects, projects being on schedule, and projects being at or below budget.I have read his CRC Press book and recommend it for key people in industry and government.

The IPQMS book should be required in all education and training programs dealing with the design and construction industry. It is also a must reference for owners and designers, consultants, and contractors. The IPQMS methodology will result in all parties working as a team toward a common goal delivering quality projects on schedule and at or below budget. Our experience with this team approach shows that it will minimize litigation.
