Detailed Engineering Phase: Project Construction Blueprint

Detailed engineering is the phase in which information is taken from the basic engineering and developed to a sufficient degree to allow the construction of the project. The goal is to develop detailed information and documentation.

Activities

• Define the different areas that will form the subject of the project installation.
• Define the means of production, creating a list of machines, equipment control, and automation equipment involved in the system.
• Definition of networks and supporting facilities.
• Organization for the means of production, defining for each workstation which machines and items are controlled and monitored.
• Organization of production cycles so that there is an adequate flow between each machine and workstation, minimizing downtime.
• Organization of production control and determining if they meet the required specifications and quality requirements.
• Define the automation and control equipment involved in the production process.
