Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the science of managing engineering construction projects, challenging the traditional view that such management is merely an art. The author presents a framework for understanding the principles behind successful management, outlining ten key laws that govern the efficient use of labor and resources. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering work of Frederick W. Taylor, the book goes beyond simply cataloging these laws; it explores their application in real-world settings. A primary focus is on cost keeping, a system for tracking the performance of individual workers and teams, and the author stresses the crucial role of accurate record-keeping in identifying areas for improvement. The book argues that by scientifically studying daily performance data and implementing incentive-based payment systems, managers can dramatically increase the output of their teams and, ultimately, reduce construction costs. This groundbreaking work offers a compelling vision for improving efficiency and maximizing productivity in the field of engineering construction.
