From Project to Production discusses the plans and development of an engineering project in any industry which yields or uses engineering plant of any kind. The book defines the concept behind project engineering and it also describes the administrative procedure involved in the completion of a project. It provides guidelines in order to effectively evaluate and monitor the progress of a project. The text demonstrates the important role of an industrial designer. Topics such as machine element analysis and synthesis, circuit calculations, design and drafting are explained in detail. Types of method of scheduling such as the C.P.M (critical path method), M.O.S.T (management operation system), R.A.M.P.S (resource allocation and multi-project scheduling), and P.E.R.T (programme evaluation and review technique) are discussed and analyzed. A section of the book describes the characteristics of a good engineering design. It also provides some design techniques. The book will provide useful information to design engineer, draftsman, and students of engineering.
