| Course Objectives | The course describes the processes from development of a project idea up to the start of operation for industrial plant investments. For this purpose, basis of investment idea, project development and project implementation phases, together with elements of project management during this whole process are described substantially: It is the aim to give practical background of feasibility, regulatory processes, planning, financing, design, construction and project management functions like document, cost, schedule and quality control. |
