Describe the three different sectors in which engineering companies operate. Sort the following functions into the sectors where they would be carried out (you can allocate each function more than one if required) Research and development Production planning and control Installation Manufacture Quality assurance Maintenance Project planning and management Design Technical sales Commissioning Materials supply and control Technical support.

Solution

>> Solution (a).

>> Three different Sectors are :

1). Mechanical : Here, different products, like gears, frames, etc. are manufactured using a varuiety of machines.

2). Civil : Building of bridges, flyovers, buildings, etc are done in this sector

3). Electrical : Projects related to substations, power supplies, etc is being consider in this sector.

>> Solution (b)

>> Research and Development : It is mainly used in Mechanical Sector, although its use in every sector

>> Production Planning & Control => Production Sector

>>Installation : Electrical, Civil

>> Manufacture : - Mechanical

>> Quality Assurance : To check the quality of products, it is mainly required where manufacturing takes place, i.e. Mechanical

>> Maintenance : Where Installation is done , i.e Electrical, civil

>> Project Planing and Management : Almost in every sector, majorly in Civil due to projects being of high value

>> Design : Mechanical, Civil

>> Technical Sales : Business Sector

>> Commissioning : Public Sector

>> Materials Supply & Control :

>> Technical Support : Technical Sector , Mechanical, Electrical , Civil, etc.
