Instrument Engineers' Handbook,Third Edition: Process Control Feature

For nearly thirty years, the Instrument Engineers' Handbook has been the most widely-used reference in its field. Changes in the profession since 1981 necessitate these updated editions, which include new sections covering the developments of the last decade and a new international perspective (the books have not been available before outside the USA). The two volumes cover all topics process control and instrument engineers use in their everyday work.


The two volumes comprise nearly 3000 pages, with thousands of illustrations. Completely revised for the first time since the early 80s, they cover all the latest advances in control hardware, transmitters, displays, DCS, PLC and computer systems. The books provide the tools needed to make sophisticated equipment selection and solve operating problems quickly. There are sections devoted to 500 major topics. There are over 100 new contributors (900 rejected). The Instrument Engineers' Handbook takes a practical and down-to-earth approach and covers all the topics used by process control and instrument engineers in their everyday work, providing quick access to specific information.

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition (ESI International Project Management Series)

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition (ESI International Project Management Series) Review

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition (ESI International Project Management Series) Feature

The Complete Project Management Office Handbook, Second Edition identifies the PMO as the essential business integrator of the people, processes, and tools that manage or influence project performance. This book details how the PMO applies professional project management practices and successfully integrates business interests with project goals— regardless of whether the scope of the PMO is limited to managing a handful of specific projects or expanded to oversee the total practice of project management within the organization.

The book first considers the five stages of PMO capability, each benchmarking a particular level of capability achieved if functions are fully implemented. Each stage is also indicative of the organization’s maturity in project management, with the PMO’s role and responsibilities advancing from project management oversight and control at the lower end of the competency continuum to strategic business alignment at the higher competency stages.

This revised edition then examines 20 function models that can be used to guide the organization through the deliberation and the development of PMO operational capability. These models suggest what project management capability can be realized through comprehensive implementation of each PMO function.

Providing project and business managers with a starting point that enables them to achieve desired results from project management, The Complete Project Management Office Handbook is an important resource for everyone involved in making project management work effectively within the organization.
