Measuring Engineering Effectiveness

The task of measuring engineering effectiveness can be broken down by an analysis of measurement of effectiveness and engineering. These parts are examined from the point of view of top Management, Sales, Manufacturing, Customer, Competitor, Research, and the Engineering Department itself to determine views on the subject of measuring the Engineering Department's effectiveness. Virtually in all departments time, price, and quality are paramount points of interest. These features mean slightly different things in the various departments and a detailed breakdown is given for the Engineering Department itself. Perhaps the major idea postulated is that of meeting a goal by meeting it exactly rather than under-running or over-running.
