As such, it is a technical journal that thoroughly details natural fermentation, bread grains and flours, leavens and dough, and dough development. The second part is about masonry ovens and their construction, since both authors agree that such an oven is a necessary part of creating the excellent loaf. Each chapter of the book includes a visit to a commercial or private venture which is using some or all of the processes being described. The book is not a light read but should prove inspiring to those wanting more information about the baking process, how to construct a masonry oven or anyone who is glad to see that these traditional methods are being nurtured rather than forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is ice cream for a baker!

This chapter provides a comprehensive summary on the type and sources of project data, and the methods for data acquisition. The key underpinning of this text is that risk analysis should be driven by data in a mathematically rigorous way; so where can one find such data? This chapter covers project data as they relate to planning and execution phase of the project; more specifically, we discuss data in terms of: a) project phase and system of interest; we contrast available data during planning and estimation vs. data during monitoring and control phase of the project, as well as whether data relates to internal project system (logistics, operations, etc.) or environmental systems (weather, market trends, etc), we define data collection objectives for each of the phase and the system type; b) observed vs. judgement\/simulated data, or in other words, whether data is generated by the system and recorded by the participants, or assessed by individuals using their experience, judgements, models, or just gut feeling; we provide a summary of typical sources of observed data such as accounting systems, and other corporate databases on project productivity, cost, schedule, etc., as well as less structured data in terms of archived project documents such as weekly progress reports, audio-visual recordings, project team members communication records, and other types of traceable observations; we also provide an overview of the methods used for eliciting experts’ opinion and judgement data: we cover both explicit methods such as workshops, surveys, and Delphi process, including how to aggregate group opinion, and implicit methods such as prediction markets and other simulation games. The chapter includes workout examples and homework problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ci\u003eProbability Theory Background\u003c\/i\u003e. This chapter is designed to provide enough background so that more advanced theoretical concepts could be introduced. The reader is assumed to have a basic understanding of calculus. However, note\u003c\/p\u003e that the objective here is not to provide a formal and mathematically rigor description of the concepts as expected for the students in mathematics and statistics departments, rather it is to provide the introduction using enough rigor that would not alienate the target readers and remain focus on the application. We provide basic introduction to: a) probability types, covering classic, frequentist, belief-based approaches, b) formal definition of independence, conditional probability and Bayes theorem including causal belief networks, c) types and distributions of random variables, d) central moments and its meaning given different types of data – ratio, interval, ranked, categorical; e) central moments of functions of random variables, f) covariance and correlations, g) autocorrelation and time-series, and h) random samples and Monte Carlo methods.

This chapter is structured in three parts. In the first part we cover the key objectives of risk analysis in context of project planning and estimating (e.g. contingency planning, mitigation plans, and monitoring and control strategies) independent of the stakeholders’ perspective and the type of contracting and delivery methods. We identify typically available documents and data as the point of departure, as well as the required outputs for further analysis. In the second part we focus on risk identification and assessment methods distinguishing between three general representations: a) hazard, vulnerability, and consequence; b) probability and consequence, and c) aggregate variability. We further classify those into low-probability high-impact event-driven and high-probability low-impact variability representations. We cover a wide spectrum of identification and assessment models including chain-of-events models such as FMEA, FTA, ET, HAZID, and CCF, and more system-focus models such as AFD\/TRIZ, STPA. Further, we discuss the differences between the model outputs and the output requirements for further analysis highlighting the deficiency of some of the most commonly used outputs such as risk matrix and risk registrar. In the third section we focus on the analysis. We provide detailed description of: a) cost analysis which includes linear cost models based on the method of moments, the effect of correlations, mixed variability and event-driven models, network representation, and Monte Carlo implementations; b) schedule analysis which includes Pert approximation, extensions of Pert model to include the effect of correlation, mixed variability and event-driven risks, multiple critical paths, common resources, as well as Monte Carlo implementation, and finally c) joint cost-schedule analysis which includes correlation methods and resource-loaded schedule-cost networks, The chapter includes workout examples and homework problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapte\u003c\/b\u003er 6: \u003ci\u003eProject Monitoring and Control.\u003c\/i\u003e This chapter is structured in two parts. In the first part we discuss the objectives of the risk analysis as it relates to project execution and the process of monitoring and controlling projects (assess the status, detect deviations, and respond). We provide detailed discussion on the available documents and data, including typical indicators as well as their leading vs. lagging nature and the capacity to provide early warning signs. We extensively focus on Earned Value methods and their interpretations in context of cost and time to complete. In the second part we present: a) variability focused methods such as SPC, b) Bayesian learning and update methods, and c) expert judgment methods including prediction markets. Finally, we discuss early warning signs in context on non-probabilistic methods such as knowledge dynamics (assumption validation) and critical slowing down of dynamic systems.

In this chapter we provide a series of case studies that cover typical situations in which project engineers and managers are faced when dealing with project risk identification and assessment. We distinguish between and cover two types of case studies: the case studies designed to be given as assignments to the students, and the case studies in addition cover implementation framework that is making references to the materials covered in the previous chapters. Listed next are few example situations upon which case studies are developed: a) project manager was given a task to evaluate the requirement for cost\/time contingency for a common project for which corporate productivity data is available. How does he\/she go about this task? b) project manager needs to work on identifying and assessing technical risks for a complex engineering project, how does he\/she go about this given that\u003c\/p\u003e data is not available for the considered technology? and c) project engineer is asked to provide update to VP on the status of risk for a major project, how does he\/she go about this?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084748267863,"sku":"9783030142506","price":85.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"rules-of-thumb-for-home-building-improvement-and-repair-9780471309833","title":"Rules of Thumb for Home Building Improvement and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore you drive that first nail, this is the guide youneed--thousands of hints, tips, and professional tricks of thetrade\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Authoritative, detailed, and fully illustrated, Rules of Thumb forHome Building, Improvement, and Repair gives you all the insideinformation you need to make your home improvement project gofaster and easier.
