Engineering design concerns us all. In new products we expect
higher quality, better reliability, lower cost, improved safety and
more respect for the environment. The Design Manager is responsible
for fulfilling these disparate and often mutually contradictory
expectations, guiding the design team while liaising with and
drawing support from project managers, manufacturers, marketing
staff, customers and users. Design Managers and their teams will
find the revised and expanded second edition of Managing
Engineering Design to be a practical book providing a framework of
precepts for the management of engineering design projects.
Features include: jargon-free language with well-tried, real-world
examples;useful tips for managers at the end of each chapter;a
comprehensive bibliography at the end of the book. Managing
Engineering Design is for design managers in industry, general
managers with responsibility for design projects, and those
training to become technical or design managers. It is also highly
informative for graduate and undergraduate engineering students and
ideally suited for establishing a web-based design management
system for geographically dispersed teams.
"This remarkable book, based on sound empirical research and
design project experience, will be an enormous help to design
managers and design engineers " "Professor Ken Wallace, University
of Cambridge"
"The practical approach of Hales and Gooch particularly appealed
to me they] manage to pull together a concise package of best
practice in engineering management and successfully tie together
the different activities that are often presented as unconnected.
This is no minor feat and I lift my hat to them."
"Doctor Roope Takala, Program Manager, Nokia Group""
