Project management for mining handbook for delivering project success / Руководство по управлению проектами в горнодобывающей промышленности для обеспечения успеха проекта

Our combined experiences in the global minerals industry are the central source for the effective project management tactics and methods that we seek to convey within this book. We are forever indebted to the corporations who so generously employed us and to our colleagues who so patiently educated us over these past 50 years. This publication is a culmination of the wisdom we gleaned and gathered from so many others as we worked our way through almost 500 projects following our entry into the mining profession.
To single out (and please forgive omissions) in alphabetical order the corporate names that in one way or another helped frame the best practices that are captured within this book, we need to recognize Alacer, Apex Silver, Asarco, Cyprus Amax, Freeport-McMoRan, Gold Fields, Inco, Kerr McGee, Kvaerner, McIntosh Engineering, New Jersey Zinc, Phelps Dodge, Sumitomo, and Thompson Creek. While several of these names are no longer with us as standalone entities, it was their individual projects that, in large part, helped mold our collective knowledge and understanding on the subject of project management.
Some supporting material has been drawn from the works of others, and we are grateful to all those authors who allowed us to put their knowledge into the public realm. The references section recognizes these sources <...>
