Chapter 7: Communication and Project Management
Communicating the design
briefly describe the type of additional documents that need to develop and communicate
Manufacturing Instruction
1.good drawing should have all the information
needed to manufacture a component
each plant has a certain set of manufacturing equipment, jigs and fixture, and process to make each components
manufacturing instruction (SOP) should be developed to assist/ guide the production side (operators) to manufacture / assemble the product.
example
show the location of clamp and pin
Quality Management
purposed : the act of overseeing all activities and tasks needed to maintain a desired level of excellence

example : automotive must follow Akta Pengangkutan Jalan
Plan to avoid the defect in the first place
all about prevention
process based approach
involves processes managing quality
Quality Control (QC)
Incoming raw material, manufactured components and assemblies
should be inspected to inspection sheets
Try to find defects and correct them while making the products
its all about the detection
Product based approach
used to verify the quality of the prodcut
User manuals/ user guide
a technical communication document intended to give assistance to people using particular product
all essential information for the user to make full use of the product

2.Letter reports/experimental report
Format reports
4.Papers and articles for journals
Proposal
Business Plan
Technical Reports
the primary written work products of engineers.
