Engineering and Product Development Management:
The Holistic Approach
Stephen C. Armstrong
|
 |
Overview
Engineering and Product Development
Management
is a practical guide to the components
of
engineering management, using
a holistic
approach. It will help engineers
and managers
understand what they have to
do to improve
the product development process
by deploying
new technology and new methods
of working
in concurrent teams. The book
takes elements
from six well known and understood
bodies
of knowledge and integrates them
into a holistic
approach: integrated product
development,
project management, process management,
systems
engineering, product data management,
and
organizational change management.
These elements
are framed within an overall
enterprise-wide
architecture. The techniques
discussed in
this book work for both huge
multinational
organizations and smaller enterprises.
The
emphasis throughout is on practical
tools
which will be invaluable for
engineers, managers,
and consultants responsible for
project and
product development.
