Managing Engineering Design

Design managers and team members will find the revised and expanded second edition of "Managing Engineering Design to be a practical book providing a framework of precepts for the management of engineering design projects. Features include: jargon-free language with well-tried, real-world examples; useful tips for managers at the end of each chapter; a comprehensive bibliography at the end of the book. It is also highly informative for graduate and undergraduate engineering students and ideally suited for establishing a web-based design management system for geographically dispersed teams.
"This remarkable book, based on sound empirical research and design project experience, will be an enormous help to design managers and design engineers" Professor Ken Wallace, University of Cambridge
"The practical approach of Hales and Gooch particularly appealed to me pull[s] together a concise package of best practice in engineering management and successfully tie together the different activitiesno minor feat and I lift my hat to them."
Doctor Roope Takala, Program Manager, Nokia Group

Shows the reader how to manage the process of design to get the optimum result at least expense in time and money Helps the engineering designer understand what is required by those responsible for managing his projects and helps the manager to accommodate the requirements of the designer Electronic data sheets and work planners reduce the irksome planning and bureaucracy for a project and allow easy standardisation of procedures Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
