For this purpose, a Genetic Neural Network (GNN) model has built an automated system to predict the output of a given contractor attributes in terms of overruns (OR) of contractor's performance factors (time, cost and quality).This book is written for both clients and contractors. The project managers who are involved in contracts procurement, tendering and contractors selection are targeted. The contractors should be of interest of this book to cope with the requirement of clients conditions for contractor selection

    Out of This World: How NASA Created the Best Team on the Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 513min
    Find out how NASA creates and leads stellar teams and how you can bring Mission Control leadership to your organisation.  Failure is always an option....For more than 50 years, NASA's Mission Control has been known for two things: perfect decision-making in extreme situations and producing generations of steely-eyed missile men and women who continue that tradition. A key to that legacy of brilliant performance is a particular brand of leadership, especially at the working level in Mission Control.  Take the ultimate insider's look at the leadership values and culture that created the best team on this planet. Paul Sean Hill was responsible for NASA's Mission Operations support for manned space flight from 2007 to 2011. In this candid audiobook he shows that the secret to Mission Control's success has never been rocket science and that the real practice of perfect decision-making can be applied to any organisation or team. By demonstrating how his Mission Control team nurtured a culture which has delivered impossible wins for decades, Hill provides a guide for all leaders to boost their company's performance at all levels.  Whether failure means cost and schedule overruns, quality reduction, loss of market share, bankruptcy - or putting someone's life a risk, how we lead can determine whether even small mistakes are dealt with or are left to snowball out of control and destroy an enterprise. Discover how to take leadership from the Mission Control Room to your boardroom and beyond and achieve this out-of-this-world leadership environment in your team.   ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Black Ships: Nuclear Terrorism and the Dirty Bomb Plot! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min
    When a nuclear scientist learns of an arms dealer's plans to sell medical waste to terrorists, he must thwart the deal before a dirty bomb destroys the U.S. From the time of the first atomic bomb, a fact of life was that nuclear material needed to be handled carefully and stored well. Many schemes were though up to safe guard nuclear material from terrorists but all had down sides. A method of shooting unneeded nuclear waste into the sun seemed the only way but it was too expensive so the idea of deep storage in mountains prevailed. Every year the waste issue grew and grew until cost of sending waste to the sun was deemed less a factor than any storage method. Transportation of waste to the sun was finally selected and called "Project: Black Ships"; thousands were needed and a state in the US west, Nevada, was chosen to take the waste and launch its black ships. Nevada has vast areas that look like they already have been under nuclear attack; places where no humans and few plants live. If there were any spills of waste it would be of little consequence to population centers.Activity to build a waste reception station and one way space port was a boon to local economies so little was said about the concept and the built in problems with this concept. As the ships were designed cost overruns were everywhere. The design started with what was considered a huge payload to reduce the number of ships needed. The huge payload had problems with nuclear containment. Too large of payload and the missile could become a nuclear bomb but with small payloads and more ships the program total cost soared but accidents were smaller. ungekürzt. Language: English.
