How to Improve Engineering Project Management - DQDesign
Are you looking for ways to improve Engineering project management methods? The following suggested topics/methods are important factors to consider incorporating into your process for any type of innovative development projects.
Most companies that have engineering needs without engineering capabilities in house seek a simplified, effective, confident way of reaching out for services. Engineering projects typically require substantial input from the client and this article seeks to add value by improving methods and eliminating unnecessary procedures from initialization to closing of outsourced engineering project processes between your organization and outsource Engineering firms.
The PMBOK (Project Management Book of Knowledge) is the referenced method of process management: www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards:
Initialization: Charter, Stakeholders
Planning: Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Resource, Communication, Risk, Procurement
Execute the plan
Monitor & Control the Execution

About the Author: Dan Quiggle
My 30+ year career has revolved entirely around contract Engineering Outsourcing services. I have been on both sides of the equation and managed Engineers, Designers, Drafters, Checkers, Mechanics, Software, Customers, Projects, Owners etc. I’ve dealt with Governments, Large Corporations, Small Businesses, Foreign and Domestic. I recruited and managed over 280 Engineers, Designers and Drafters. I’ve integrated all of the major Engineering Disciplines for a big variety of over 10,000 projects. I’ve been exposed to the Project Management side of all these entities and individuals. I’ve competed and cooperated with other engineering firms, and now I’m developing my own consultancy!
I’ve studied and applied components of the PMBOK since the late 80’s, though I haven’t taken the pmp test. Depending on the scale of the project, most things come naturally. However multi discipline projects require much more attention to detail and possibly a dedicated full time project manager.
In the late 90’s we were introduced to Scopes of Work. Performance metrics. We were simply available to our customers hourly to spend general pots of money identified collectively, estimating efforts of required team members on blanket order agreements. The Client then needed to introduce separation between our outsource firm and themselves. In doing so, Scopes of work, performance metrics, standard work practices, lessons learned became part of every project. Originally we felt this took away from our efficiency, however these practices provided clearly defined expectations for all involved as well as performance metrics. PM is all about setting boundaries and managing expectations.
I’ve developed a number of personalized approaches to the various customers and projects. Contact dqdesign for more information and how we can help your project management process.

Hi your site seems to be infected with a Trojan virus.
New subscriber always watching your videos very interesting❤
When we pick up a platic product we see ridges that reinforce the structure and reduce the amount of proct used ABS etc. Is there a discipline these techniques come under. Fantastic ammount of experience thanks for your help.
I really appreciate your videos.
great video. thank you
Hi, I'm an exp mech engr in the phil and interested in applying to foreign companies through outsourcing. Where can I possibly apply? Are there websites or job apps specific for this
I'm here as a student on a first robotics team for some last minute prep before build season. I'm not at all surprised to hear that you yourself were involved in FIRST as well!
Wow super sar iam completed in diploma mechanical wich course best my age 30 iam completed ITI DIESEL MECHANIC WE need A JOB NO BACK GROUND
Hi, your site is not working
Can I work freelance as a mechanical engineer in mechanical engineering..How?? Thanks .sir
Thank you I think we can shall may vphv understand the importance truth and value of mechanical engineering components ( like front wheel axles etc., ) nature of materials their analogy ( with elements or sense organs like eyes nose etc., ) the change in nature strength or plasticity with loading unloading etc , practical uses in daily life and design at any cost............and also last but not least appreciate and thank god mother nature for gifting us with precious organs atleast once in a day or thrice at any cost................
Downtown intro music let’s go!
I just watched your video and its great. I have a project of designing and manufacturing a MagLev VAWT. I'd like you to help me by offering your advice on what you think is a great design and how I can go about it.
Also thanks for the usefull links you spent time on this !
Greatest TH-cam channel for mechanical designer's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I didn't understand this, I am working on a mechanical project. I just want to know how you are working on the design project from starting to the final product deliverable. it will be very helpful if you can suggest sometimes.
Excellent video 👍
What is lacking in Mechanical Engineers today, is the knowledge of how to design mechanisms correctly. Did know that there's a mathematical formula that can be used for all mechanism designs? It's called Gruebler's Count. I found a way to make it practical for all 3D mechanisms. Here's the link if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/KFB8gMjxDPk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for all those precious informations. Is there a place where we can start looking for Offshore Outsourcing companies in emerging markets where the cost of service is low? Eg : India, Philipines, China ...
thats for this information
Thanks
One of the best videos I have come across about engineering design.
If u have PP of this video would be helpful to is ME students and teachers, thanks

God Bless you. If you do not believe in God. I bless you.
Thank you! Very informative. Loved the memes. Background text felt archaic...font wasn't fun to read. If possible, text should be kept a bit longer on the screen for slow readers.
This video is really great helpful for me and other mechanical design engineer
Sir, your account is full of informative videos . It would better if you could do tutorials and courses on engineering skills. Because all other channels are mainly focusing on software engineering and coding.
I agree!! I understand software and digital technologies are the wave but I feel like mechanical engineering doesn't get the kind of love and publicity it deserves. With software, almost every small thing is indexed and searchable and in most cases is freely open. With mechanical design it feels like shots in the dark and stumbling processes. And then once you attain a certain level of knowledge it's like you either only ever find the absolute basics or the most esoteric things. There's a channel called star rapid that's a rapid prototyping company and they've been great in bridging that gap between absolute basics and the more niche topics. Check them out as well! There's also tarkka but they upload veeeerryyy slowly
Thank you for this amazing information
Thanks are there any reference books on this subject
I found your video via Reddit and I have to say it's very well done, informative and funny. You have a cool background story too. I am a diy shade tree dummy, figuring out how I'm going to design a cheap stand for big rolls of packing bubble wrap for a non profit that I volunteer for, with materials that I already have. Your video did help reaffirm my thinking that I should use an engineering/design firm, rather than going straight to a contractor for a big project I'll need to do at my house. Thanks!
Pretty Good. Thanks for sharing.
In semi retirement my projects are still ambitious but these concepts are foremost in an old engineers head... : )
Genious
Can I download the tools you have created for notes?

Great video!! Entertaining and informative! You earned another Subscriber! (Pittsburgh tech student)
This channel is so underrated
Non design engineers always say fuck the engineer that put this wear part in a tough location. So always walk through the maintenance of a part that has pm.
If you can ask a tool maker for their opinion. ALWAYS do it. Just because you can make it in CAD doesnt mean it is the right way to make it.
I am so happy I learn 3d modeling in high school. I took biomedical engineering in college and was always picked on projects for my design skills. Ive been a mech design engineer for a large contact lens manufacture for 3 years now. GD&T and drawing sop was one thing that I had to learn and have found out that it is critical. Learning metrology has also been a big help
Sounds like you're developing a great portfolio.
Great video and channel. Hope for new stuff soon..
Thank you, I'm happily aware of hitting 100 subs! So I'm thinking about a video regarding communicating technical information. Always a big topic thru ought my career.
This video is sooooo underrated! Speaking as an mechanical engineering student this is definitely helpful!
@@Himmy_kayprince charming
Thank you for the video! It really helps! Is there any book to help me understand better all the variables involved in the design process? I want to become a design engineer but the only step made till now was to begin learning a design tool. Thank you!
Best introductory I've herd yet,
How often do you encounter faked dimensions? I have seen exploded and re-typed dimensions in AutoCAD, and it was a disaster. I have any say in this, the practitioners would be fired immediately.
What if I do not understand any of this, however I simply have the ideas. Where do I even begin?
What's your goal, to learn or execute your ideas?
Thanks for the video 🥰 Much appreciated
