Overview
Integrated Planning and Quality Management System (IPQMS), a powerful management methodology, is introduced in this book. This system ensures cost-effectiveness as well as quality in the constructed project, environmental cleanups, and other sectors. The book contains business and engineering case studies (The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, The Washington State Five Nuclear Power Plants Debacle) that illustrate a principle, issue, or approach in making a decision. Each case study examines the spectrum of a particular project, demonstrating the interrelationships among policy makers, planners, designers, implementers, and managers in creating a project.

Reviews
...must reading for both university students and practitioners. My professional experience in over 40 years of consulting projects shows that lack of accountability is the single, outstanding problem. The IPQMS will solve that problem if properly implemented... - Donald J. Neubauer, P.E., President, Neubauer Consulting Engineers, Potomac, Maryland This book should be required in all education and training programs dealing with the design/build industry. It is also a must reference book for owners, designers, consultants, contractors, and subcontractors. With this excellent methodology, all parties will work as a team toward a common goal. - Gary A. Wildish, P.E., Special Projects Coordinator and Senior Project Manager, Chambers Construction, Eugene, Oregon We in Hawaii have greatly benefited in using IPQMS - in both developing alternative energy sources and rebuilding Kauai from the devastation caused by Hurricane Iniki in 1992. - Takeshi Yoshihara, P.E., Retired Deputy Director, DBEDT, State of Hawaii
