It is difficult to complete a large infrastructure project in a democratic manner since each plan must adhere to the following seven obstacles in order to succeed and last throughout time: 1) Politically acceptable 2) Socially desirable; 3) Technologically feasible 4) Financially viable 5) Administratively doable 6) Judicially Tenable 7) Emotionally relatable
Delay always breeds danger. A Design and Build project is almost always affected by delays. The word “delay” can be defined in a number of ways, including making something happen later than anticipated, causing something to be accomplished later than scheduled, or failing to act promptly. The main topic of this article is construction delays, which […]
The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) or Dependency Source Matrix is a design modeling method used by engineers to understand and improve the practice of developing complex systems. Performs system analysis, process planning, and organization planning. It is an extremely flexible method of network modeling with extensive applications in engineering management. The DSM model can help […]
Το βιβλίο του Ζακ Μονό έχει ασκήσει μεγάλη επίδραση στις φιλοσοφικές θεωρήσεις της σύγχρονης βιολογίας. Ο Γάλλος βιολόγος Ζακ Μονό, βραβείο Νόμπελ 1965, αφού δίνει πληροφορίες για τη δομή των πρωτεϊνών, την αποκωδικοποίηση των γενετικών πληροφοριών, τη λειτουργία του κυττάρου και το ρόλο της τύχης στην εξέλιξη της ζωής επισήμανε τους τρόπους με τους οποίους […]
The key question is whether there is a method for an engineer to excel and be distinguished from others. My answer is “YES.” I believe that exceptional performance, breakthrough innovation, and extraordinary results happen when engineers decide to finally break the standards or the norms in their industry, specialization field, and existing attitude. For example, […]
Engineering projects become absurdly expensive because of mismanagement, disputes, and lack of accountability. This is a profound responsibility of the engineering managers as well as the individual engineers because of the lack of stringent processes, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Objective Key Results (OKRs), and the lack of strong disposition to achieve self-transcendence. Such behaviors and […]
The management of complex technical problems requires: 1. Design Structure Matrix (DSM) 2. Managing Iterations (including overlapping tasks) 3. Managing system integration (CPM, PERT) On that note consider: DSM is a general method of representing and analyzing system models in a variety of application areas. The DSM matrix should include no more than 50-100 tasks. […]
Why is time limited to forward motion? A toast never goes unburned, and an egg never gets uncracked. We never stop questioning the path we take in life. However, nothing in the principles of physics dictates that time can only move forward. Since space allows us to go in any direction, why not time? Well, time […]
Conscious machines may be fundamentally tied to the notion that they will eventually defeat humans. To surpass humans would be to replicate, attain, and reach critical human characteristics, such as high-level cognition linked to conscious perception. Can, however, computers and people be compared? Can machines have consciousness? Can computers surpass human abilities? These questions are […]
Systems engineering refers to the building of engineering concepts. The need for systems engineering arose with the increasing complexity of systems and projects, in turn exponentially increasing the likelihood of component friction, and hence design unreliability. When we speak in this context, complexity includes not only engineering systems, but also logical human data organization. At […]
