ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the building blocks essential for the application of project management to industrial operations. The objectives that constitute industrial project goals may be in terms of time, costs, or technical results. A sustainable industrial development can positively impact the political, economic, cultural, and social balance in a community. Industrial operations are predicated on strategic operations, which utilize high-tech tools, knowledge workers, and complex processes. An essential need is the development of an industrial project road map. An industrial system is a collection of interrelated elements brought together to achieve a specific objective of meeting product or service goals. Business process reengineering is the redesign of business work processes and the implementation of the new design. The interface between project management functions and the industrial enterprise is easily observable throughout any organization. All firms within the jurisdiction of the agency are required to comply with the prevailing regulatory standards.
