Cost monitoring

During the project duration, the project management is required to prepare a monthly order report for the company management illustrating the state of execution, the schedule situation as well as the current cost situation. Mostly such an order report contains a forecast in which the looming technical, commercial or schedule problems are to be identified. 

The project monitoring also considers claims management The results of already completed addendum negotiations on additions, omissions or claims go directly into the accompanying cost calculation. Forecasts are made for additions, omissions or claims and the probability of successful claims for extra costs will be 

In order to prepare the order report, the current state of development is to be evaluated. For this purpose, regular project meetings take place in which all or the most important project staff take part. Each project member has to report on his respective task package and they are also urged to identify looming erroneous trends. 

The order report serves the company management as control instrument. Risks should be detected in due time in order to initiate the respective countermeasures. Frequently, companies have so-called controlling departments. The controllers examine the order reports and submit the respective messages to the company management. If required, they consult with the project management to take the necessary steps. /4.3/ 

Here the conflict situation the project management has to cope with becomes clear. Of course it is not easy for project management nor for project staff to report on erroneous trends in their own field of responsibility, since this means present-

Despite the numerous reports, extensive studies of optical O2 sensors are still ongoing to improve performance, reduce cost and size, and develop an O2 sensor for in znvo applications/" The large market for O2 sensors also drives these efforts. The development of field-deployable, compact, low-cost monitors such as those based on OLEDs is therefore highly attractive for gas-phase and DO monitoring in various biological, medical, environmental, and industrial applications.

Road transportation is preferred inside a country. The main rule is to be able to carry as long and as much as possible to minimize the transportation cost. Monitoring this mode of transportation is easy. Perishable and non-perishable items may be carried. Some disadvantages are there may be delays due to traffic, some regulations may be a restriction on driving routes, might be affected by weather conditions and subject to accidents that will lead to severe damages on products.

The maintenance policy is driven by the knowledge of the system state after inspections. This knowledge can be different according to the monitoring of the system. For example, a system easily and/or cheaply monitored can have a lot of available information to which the maintenance pohcy should he adapted, whereas for a system hardly and/or costly monitored the maintenance pohcy should take into account the lack of information.

Radon in indoor air may cause 14,000 cancer cases and secondary tobacco smoke may cause 3,000 cancer cases each year (USEPA 1993b). USEPA has developed effective methods to monitor and manage radon. They recommend that every home purchase a low-cost monitor to assess exposure and determine what control steps if any are needed. The risk from radon is increased by the presence of secondary tobacco smoke, which contains many toxic compounds such as PAHs and benzene (USEPA 1993b Wallace 1991). Thanks to public education about risks from radon and tobacco in the home, many families will no longer accept smoking inside the home. 

Abstract— Ambulation data of the amputee is crucial to stand as outcome assessment. This study develops a low-cost monitor which is available for every amputee and can be inserted into the pylon to maintain the originality of the ambulation data. A prototype had been developed and presented as below. 

Hence, a low cost monitoring system which can be commonly available for every amputee and be kept invisible fl om the amputee had to be developed to assist in evaluation of the ambulation function on every amputee with their prosthesis. 

If the performance of the equipment is monitored on a continuous basis, then abnormal behaviour can be identified, and preventive maintenance can be performed as and when required this is called on-condition preventive maintenance. The condition of equipment may be established by inspection, that is taking it off-line, opening it up and looking for signs of wear, corrosion etc. This obviously takes the equipment out of service, and may be costly. 

Modem a bidirectional modem connection (asynchronous, 28000 b/s) between the PC of the on-site AEBIL system and a laboratory PC has enabled transfer of data files and monitor presentations from the peripheral station to the central one, strongly enhancing initial assistance in data interpretation at drastically reduced costs. 

Intrinsic bioremediation is becoming an acceptable option in locations where the contaminated groundwater poses Htde threat to environmental health. Nevertheless, although intrinsic bioremediation is appealingly simple, it may not be the lowest cost option if there are extensive monitoring and documentation costs involved for several years. In such cases it may well be more cost effective to optimize conditions for biodegradation. 

Fig. 1. Schematic for thermographic imaging. The ambient thermal radiation is imaged on the focal plane which converts the infrared to an electrical signal for display on a video monitor. Sensors with uncooled focal planes are now the size of a minicam and cost 5 to 10 times as much.
