Effective Project Engineering Management

In the current trend of Design Build and EPC projects being executed on fast track modes, engineering plays a vital role in the success and timely completion of the project. The project engineering needs to be effective and managed efficiently.

Design Engineering for any project broadly involves :

• Receipt of Order Intimation from client
• Critical planning for a better visibility of the activities under the scope of work
• Planning of resources – internal and external outsourcing
• Finalization of basic design and specifications
• Approval from statutory authorities
• Finalization of detailed designs
• Closure of engineering with client and other stakeholders

Effective Engineering Management

For a project, the engineering management can be made more effective and the delivery process efficient if the following are ensured:

• Cost optimization opportunities identification, value engineering initiatives in terms of saving time and money for the project, and by adopting efficient standardization for a faster engineering
• Time Management- Continuous progress monitoring with an engineering dashboard and MIS. Create look-ahead schedules, proactive identification, and remediation of engineering issues
• Identify delays, carry out a root cause analysis, and be ready with catch up plans
• Quality Management, multi-level design review, cross-functional review, and release of error-free documents to clients
• Change request…
