Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a major area of concern to the manager of an engineering design team in handling the activities, the outputs and the influences. The first part considers the overall context within which the engineering design process takes place and offers a way of mapping this out for specific design situations to help identify key influences and how to work with them. The second part considers the combination of design task and design team with ways of operating which encourage particular activities to maximize the productivity and quality of the team output. In the third part a structured approach to managing engineering design projects is offered, which can be developed based on personal experience within a particular company or situation.
Bibliography: (pages 197-207) and index.
