    Seamless and Welded Stainless Steel Prices

    Edstainless thanks for the info. I do know seamless would be far more expensive, I was only hoping soneone has used these pipes recently and give me an idea of their prices. I would not mind only prices for welded pipes if that is what you have, logistics is not an issue at this moment.

    how to deal with churn - rework caused by the client

    A good point to note is the duration for reviews pointed out by Lamberson, often times in order to keep customers happy one will end up absorbing incidental cost accruing from customers' indecisiveness. Having a limit for review duration on contract is one way of solving two recurring contract...

    Certification in Project Management

    That is exactly the point dcasto, the "smarty pants PMP" was offering you tools that will inprove your processes, it is left to you with the experience in these area and with the benefit of hindsight to say no this won't do us much good. Talking about ROW acquisition, in my experience we have...

    Certification in Project Management

    I disagree with GregLamberson on the usefulness of PM in upstream energy sector, that is were I play too. It is important to understand that PMI standard, PMBOK Guide, does not set-out a methodology for managing projects, it has rather espoused standard tools, techniques and terminologies inter...

    Certification in Project Management

    On one count, you are right, but way off the mark on two important points. 1 Yes lots of people dont know about it. But that is what gives you the cutting edge, that is what sets you apart from the rest. The corporate world is gradually seeing the benefits in project oriented management...

    Managing subcontractor supply chain for quality

    Causes for NCRs are not really generic, they depend on the scope of work and quality requirements, so its is really up to you to look deep into your project and determine what can lead to NCRs and setup systems to prevent their occurence (ie Quality Assurance). I would'nt consider "waste of...

    Engineer versus Designer

    Gents, I hope this issue is not being over floged. I left the university with a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering, and a longing for those beautiful calculations and that feeling of just saving the world with one well taught out solution to the greatest engineering problem. That was 7yrs ago...

    Differences between P3 and Contractor

    Certification in Project Management

    Without equivocation I can tell you that PMI is the most established and accepted PM certification body. Other bodies like IPMA and APM are equally renowned. In terms of superiority, I won't pick one for the other. They seem to be "different ways to killing a rat", however in my opinion the PMP...
