内容説明

The development of large equipment fleets hiring and small tools renting is a relatively recent phenomenon and detailed and documented analyzes describing the nature of construction equipment management and its associated organizations are few. This book is designed to meet the needs of engineers and builders whose roles are expanding to embrace the increasingly important management of construction equipment. Specifically, the book covers both the management of equipment within a construction company and the independent hire or rental firms. It deals with policies, strategies and organizational structures from the small to the large concern. Emphasis is placed on the financial aspects of equipment acquisition and control, and modern capital investment decision-making techniques are given special consideration. Operational management is dealt with fully including health and safety, licensing and insurance. In particular, the logistic problems of maintaining construction equipment are discussed in detail. Finally, the book brings together the recent developments in computer technology and its applications to improving equipment management.
