Engineering Management (with Total Quality Management) - Rahul Basu

. .

Résumé :
Management for Engineers brings together a number of important disciplines that are often taught as separate subjects, including Operations Management, Production Management, Operations Research, Total Quality Management (TQM), Project Management, and related areas. While traditional engineering management courses provide only an overview of these topics, modern engineering practice increasingly requires a working knowledge of each of them. Particular emphasis has been given to Total Quality Management (TQM) in this book. Although TQM was once primarily learned through on-the-job training and industrial experience, it has now gained significant academic recognition and is included as a subject of study in many engineering curricula across Indian universities. Despite its growing importance, comprehensive and accessible texts on TQM for engineering students remain relatively scarce. This book seeks to bridge that gap by presenting the fundamental concepts and practical applications of quality management in a clear and concise manner. The objective of this book is to provide engineering students and practicing engineers with an integrated understanding of management principles and techniques that are essential in today's competitive industrial environment. By combining theoretical foundations with practical insights, the book aims to serve as a useful guide for academic study, professional examinations, and industrial practice. It is hoped that this book will prove valuable to students, engineers, managers, and all those interested in developing a broader perspective on the management aspects of engineering and technology....

Sommaire:
Management for Engineers is a combination of several sub fields which are also taught as separate subjects, like Operations Management, Total Quality Managment, Operations Research , Production and many more. Although these are usually not covered in detail, it is felt that TQM should now be included as it is a practical application and it is difficult to find texts on the subject. Earlier it would be covered in on the job training but now it has gained academic respectability and is inlcuded as an optional subject in Indian University Engineering syllabi. It is hoped this book would be found useful to studentys and engineers....
