Manage your claims before they manage you
Article Abstract:
Companies should establish sound claims management strategies to avoid adverse financial and operational consequences. If a company is faced with a claim, it should immediately call its representative and discuss the situation. It should also ask the cosultant to communicate with the proper authorities and persons if insurer and defense counsel assistance is unavailable. The company should then meet wth a claims specialist or representative to review procedures and plan defense. Hiring an internal claims manager is also a key factor in avoiding damaging claims.

Transport institute claims cost must not be overriding factor
Article Abstract:
Planners may find that current transport funding levels will rise as traffic growth increases, according to new transport strategy guidelines published by the Institution of Highways and Transportation. This document indicates that cost should not be the main consideration, and even suggests that ignoring financial limitations on the basis that the ideal strategy produced later will attract the necessary funding is a viable approach. However, it also warns against including future 'committed' schemes in a strategy if they are not out to tender.

Cost prediction of facilities
Article Abstract:
John Christian and Amar Pandeya's article on facility operating costs published in the Journal of Management in Engineering has several flaws. The model that was used in predicting operating costs is defective due to the use of an estimated slope coefficient representing the average rate of change of actual spending over time. This should be replaced by a model that relates facility condition from a particular year to the next.
